BrandQL is live. A modern logo API built as a direct alternative to Clearbit's sunsetting logo service.
What is BrandQL
When Clearbit announced the deprecation of their logo API, I needed a replacement for my own SaaS products. Instead of just finding an alternative, I built one — with improvements I always wished Clearbit had.
What's included in v0.1
- Domain-based logo fetching: Enter a domain, get the best logo available
- Just-in-time scraping: If a logo isn't cached, BrandQL fetches it on-demand from the live site
- Quality scoring: Multiple sources are discovered and ranked automatically — favicons, OG images, apple-touch-icons, and more
- Admin overrides: Manual controls for reviewing and adjusting logo selections
Simple usage
<img src="https://api.brandql.com/logo/github.com" alt="GitHub logo" />
Drop it into any img tag. It just works.
What's next
- Public API with CDN delivery
- Expanded scraper with more source types
- Image processing and normalization
- User accounts and API key management
This is just the beginning. Built by a solo developer who relies on it daily. Try it out and let me know what you think.
