It shouldn't be difficult but unless there is a large database of parts that
you can import it may not be cost effective.

For resistors, capacitors and inductors I would populate the database using
Digikey tables. They are not difficult to parse and you would immediately have
all of your passives. I have not looked at the Digikey logic IC tables
but they not be
too difficult. Using the Digikey tables lets you populate a vendor
price table as well.
