name: chip-sourcing-snapeda description: Pull symbol/footprint/3D CAD from SnapEDA via the native signed-in browser — login-gated downloads work because the profile is already authenticated.
SnapEDA (snapeda.com)
CAD downloads are login-gated. The native browser is already signed in, so downloads + the "request a part" flow work without re-auth (the core reason native beats pup here).
Search → part → CAD
https://www.snapeda.com/search/?q=<MPN>
The part page exposes Symbol / Footprint / 3D Model download buttons and the target-EDA selector
(KiCad / EAGLE / Altium / OrCAD / Fusion). Drive the download in the user's profile; the file lands
in their normal Downloads, then pull_file it back to the container if chip-fetcher needs it.
