It is highly unlikely that you will find such a list. Major distributors
will have a catalogue of 100's of thousands of parts.
The first problem is that Mouser and Digikey ARE NOT component
manufacturers they are distributors They will buy products from many
different manufacturers and resell them. They may sell them under their
own name or under the manufacturers name.
In a product, you will need to specify what you need. That could be
as simple as a generic JEDEC type, 2N3055 say, (even that has some
pitfalls) or it could be something more specialised.
In your stock control application you will specify where that part is
bought from, alternative suppliers, specific manufacturer and so on.
This is a job for a database app, and you could write one in Access or
whatever if you wanted to. It depends on what your particular needs are.
It could be as simple as a plain list, or something very complex that
maintains inventory, stock control, purchasing and so on, for that you
may well consider some high-end commercial application with an equally
high end price tag. Large companies spend a lot of time and money
maintaining their inventory and stock control systems, it's not simple
and it can be tedious.
A software package called "Parts and Vendors" has been mentioned here in
the past. Not something I've ever used, but it sounds reasonable.
The key point is that you cannot rely on a distributor to maintain such
a list year in year out.
It's your product / project so that's down to you to maintain the
components list/sources. I've had to deal with too many situations where
purchasing calls up and asks "xyz from dodgy-components-limited" is half
the price of what we currently use, can we switch to that....
One time when purchasing did the switch without asking things went
wrong, to be fair it was the JEDEC situation I mentioned above, and the
problem was very obscure. After the change the failure rate of a sub
assembly shot up. After a lot of investigation the difference turned
out to be a letter "H" that was (or in this case was not) stamped on
the case of the 2N3055. That "H" denotes that the construction was
Epitaxial rather than Planar - The epitaxial construction had a better
secondary breakdown voltage than the (much cheaper) planar
construction. It is highly unlikely that something like this would
ever be reflected in a distributors parts list.

Hi kicad outputs parts lists are their ways to connect that to a mouser and digikey parts lists?
What database spread sheets applications are avalable for making the manufacturers part numbers pad type like 603 smd or 805 stock sort by price sql option?
Can I pull in a xml or csv file that is mouser and digikey?
