Show HN: Free Logo API – logos for any company or domain
logos.apistemic.comThe Clearbit Logo API finally went down yesterday after the HubSpot acquisition. I relied on it across several projects (heavily), so I built a drop-in replacement:
Key features:
- Free to use, no signup or API key needed
- Both companies and domain names work as input identifiers
- WebP format for smaller payloads and better cache hit rates
Stack: S3 for storage, heavily cached fastapi, Next.js for the site. Everything's behind Cloudflare for proper CDN/caching. This was the first time I tried to build something end-to-end from idea to deployment with Claude Code (Max) and I have to say, Opus 4.5 took it like a champ!
For the younger folks, here's what the old Clearbit API looked like: https://web.archive.org/web/20230920164055/https://clearbit....
Happy to answer questions about the implementation or hear your thoughts!
Nice work, love the simplicity of the api! How do you handle logo sourcing? Is it favicons or something else?
Yes, there's the <link rel="icon"...> an other specific tags providing far more options than the old favicons.

That's awesome! Love that you can use it out of the box without annoying singups/keys :)
Thanks, this is how I feel about this, too.
Really cool!
Awesome project!
