API Documentation

Simple, powerful, and designed for developers

Quick Start

Use the following URL pattern to fetch brand icons:

https://cdn.brandicons.dev/icons/{domain}?key=YOUR_API_KEY

Size Options:

  • Default: 32x32 pixels
  • Large: /icons/{domain}/large - 128x128 pixels

Example:

<img src="https://cdn.brandicons.dev/icons/spotify.com?key=YOUR_API_KEY" alt="Spotify" />

How Icon Discovery Works

Brandicons uses an intelligent discovery system to find and cache brand icons:

1

First Request

If an icon isn't cached, we'll return a placeholder and start searching for the brand's icon in the background.

2

Background Processing

Our system searches multiple sources to find the best quality icon for the domain.

3

Subsequent Requests

Once found, the icon is cached globally on our CDN and served instantly on all future requests.

What to expect:

The first request for a new domain may return a placeholder, but the actual icon will be available within seconds and cached for all future requests globally.

Usage & Caching

API Keys:

Each key is locked to a single domain (e.g. example.com + www.example.com). Keys are public by design — safe to use in <img> tags and client-side code.

Monthly Quota:

Each plan includes a monthly request quota. All requests (cache hits and misses) count toward it. No per-second rate limiting — icons are served directly from CDN edge nodes.

Caching:

Icons are cached globally on the CDN after first discovery. Subsequent requests for the same domain resolve in ~5ms from the nearest edge.

Simple, Transparent Pricing

Choose the plan that fits your needs. All API keys share your monthly request quota.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about BrandIcons and how it simplifies brand icon integration

What is BrandIcons and how does it work?
BrandIcons is a simple API service that provides brand icons for any domain. Just use our URL format with a domain name and get the corresponding brand icon. We automatically discover and serve icons from websites and related sources.
How do I use the BrandIcons API?
Simply use the URL format: https://cdn.brandicons.dev/icons/{domain}?key={YOUR_API_KEY} for standard size, or https://cdn.brandicons.dev/icons/{domain}/{size}?key={YOUR_API_KEY} for specific sizes (ico, small, medium, large).
What icon sizes are available?
We support four size variants: ico, small, medium, and large. If no size is specified, you'll get the standard default size. Each size is optimized for different use cases from favicons to high-resolution displays.
What's included in the free plan?
The free plan includes 1,000 requests per month, access to basic icon sizes, community support, and standard fallbacks. It's perfect for trying out the service and small projects.
How do you find icons for domains without websites?
Our intelligent discovery system uses AI analysis and web research to find icons for domains that don't have active web servers. We search related websites, company profiles, and use advanced matching algorithms to locate the most appropriate brand icons.
How does API key domain binding work?
For security, API keys can be bound to specific domains. This means your key will only work when called from your registered domains, preventing unauthorized usage and protecting your quota from external access.
