Reference questions
What is BrandIcons and how does it work?
BrandIcons is a simple API service that provides brand icons for any domain. You use the URL format with a domain name and get the corresponding brand icon. The service automatically discovers and serves icons from websites and related sources.
How do I use the BrandIcons API?
Use the URL format https://cdn.brandicons.dev/icons/{domain}/{size}?key={YOUR_API_KEY}. Optional parameters ?p= sets a not-found placeholder and ?pl= sets a loading placeholder, both accepting built-ins like @image-off and @loader-spin or your own uploaded names.
What's included in the free Community plan?
The Community plan is free forever and includes 500,000 requests per month, 2 API keys (upgraded to 5 in another reference), all icon sizes, twelve built-in placeholders, and the global CDN. In exchange, your production site must display a visible attribution link back to BrandIcons. Any paid plan removes this requirement.
What's the attribution requirement on the Community plan?
Add a visible link with the anchor text 'Icons by BrandIcons' pointing to https://brandicons.dev on your production site — directly beside or below your logo grid, in the footer alongside other credits, or on an About/Credits page. The link must pass referrer data (no rel="nofollow", no rel="noreferrer") and must be on a publicly accessible URL. The exact snippet is: <a href="https://brandicons.dev">Icons by BrandIcons</a>. Any paid plan removes this requirement.
Is there a React component?
Yes. Install react-brandicons. It renders an <img>, polls the x-brandicons-state header on a HEAD request, and refreshes the image when the icon arrives. Twelve built-in placeholders ship with it.
