Guidelines
Easily embed logos in your app
⚖️ Guidelines
1. Rate Limit
We offer a fair use rate limit of 1,000,000 requests per month, which is designed to cover most small to medium applications.
If your usage approaches this limit, we’ll send you a friendly heads-up so you can adjust your usage or explore an upgrade to an unlimited tier.
For enterprises, we provide custom solutions, including SLA agreements, custom terms, and flexible caching options to ensure optimal performance at scale. These plans are tailored to meet the needs of high-volume users.
Feel free to contact us to discuss the right plan for your use case.
2. Hotlinking
We require Logo Link to be directly embedded in your applications.
Embedding Logo Link directly within your HTML image tags guarantees that the logo remains up-to-date at all times. It also ensures a faster and more reliable implementation. See our uptime.
👉 When embedding Logo Link, HTTP requests must include the Referer
header with the request origin. Your HTTP Referrer-Policy
header must be set to one of: origin
, origin-when-cross-origin
, strict-origin
, strict-origin-when-cross-origin
(browser default), or unsafe-url
.
⚠️ Programatic access to logo images is not permitted and may result in rate limiting or blocking. Scraping logos will also lead to a block.
If you’re looking for flexible caching options contact us for a custom setup.
3. Replicating Brandfetch
The best way to make sure that your application doesn’t violate this guideline is to integrate Brandfetch inside an existing app that offers more value than simply the Brandfetch integration.
Some examples:
- ✅ The Typeform integration improves the user’s onboarding by presenting brand logos. Without this integration, the app still has a lot of value to its users.
- ✅ The Pitch integration brings brand logos inside Pitch’s editor to streamline the creation of presentations. Without this integration, the app still has a lot of value to its users.
- 🚫 A logo search returning logos from Logo Link. Without the integration, the app has no content and no value to users.
- 🚫 An unofficial Logo API allowing users to access brand logos via Logo Link. Without the API, the app has no content and no value to users.
If you believe your use case is too close to Brandfetch contact us.
4. Respecting trademark laws
Logos are the property of their respective trademark owners. Usage of logos must adhere to the principles of “fair use,” which permits referencing a brand within certain legal confines. It is prohibited to use third-party logos for:
- Commercial purposes without permission: You may not use logos to sell or promote products, services, or events without explicit permission from the trademark owner.
- Misrepresentation: Using logos in a way that suggests endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation with the trademark owner without their consent is strictly forbidden.
- Altering Logos: Modifying or adapting logos in ways that could confuse or mislead users is not allowed.
Always ensure that your use of logos adheres to these guidelines. If you are uncertain, consult with a legal professional.
