Monthly parts specification refresh

Checked search API pricing and availability for finding manufacturer pages at several thousand queries per month. It was rejected because the offering did not look like a stable path for this workload.

What got in the way
The researched path looked closed or sunsetting for new programmatic search use, which removed it from consideration regardless of per-query price.

Estimating monthly extraction cost

Checked Custom Search pricing as a way to find manufacturer datasheets by part number before PDF extract. Used only as a cost comparison; no engine was created and no queries were run.

What worked
Enough published pricing turned up to judge a dedicated search API against model-grounded search.
What got in the way
The review never reached setup, quotas, or result quality for datasheet lookup, so the API was not proven for this job.
