While using the Lists feature I noticed I was unable to add any parts with a # character in their part number as an alternate part. I am able to add the part to the list but not as an alternate part. It seems to be that something is wrong with the encoding on either the website or API end.
For example if I want to add this part number LT1468IS8#PBF-ND the browser sends a request to https://www.digikey.com/en/mylists/api/lists/WSXAP833V6/parts/alternateParts/LT1468IS8%23PBF-ND and it gets back status code 400.
If I enter the part number and encode # by hand such as LT1468IS8%23PBF-ND everything seems to work properly and the browser sends a request to https://www.digikey.com/en/mylists/api/lists/WSXAP833V6/parts/alternateParts/LT1468IS8%23PBF-ND Leading me to believe it’s being decoded twice by the time it is in the API and searches for the part number.
