One-off lookups

Context.dev Brand API

Context.dev, formerly brand.dev, returns a company's logos, colours and images from its domain, and its Styleguide reads type and font files. From $20 a month.

Last updated 2026-11-10

Context.dev was called brand.dev until March 2026. It describes itself as a web data API for scraping, and its brand features are part of that: Brand returns a company's logos, colours, description and images; Styleguide reads a website's colours, typography, spacing and component styles, with font files where it can resolve them; Logo Link serves a logo image from a URL.

It suits products that need more of a company's look than a logo, such as a design tool that themes itself to a customer's website.

  • Logos Yes
  • Colours Yes
  • Fonts Yes
  • Guidance No
  • Files Partly

What does Context.dev return?

  • LogosBrand returns logos typed as icon or logo, marked for light mode, dark mode or as having their own background, with their resolution; an SVG variant is listed ahead of a similar raster one. Logo Link returns a near-square icon (the default) or a wordmark as an image, and a generated monogram when no logo is found.
  • ColoursBrand returns colours as hex, with a name and whether each came from the website's theme or the logo's pixels.
  • FontsStyleguide returns the website's typography and, where it can resolve them, font file URLs; a missing URL can mean the font couldn't be resolved.
  • GuidanceNo voice or usage rules; Brand returns a description and slogan.
  • FilesBrand returns backdrop images, with their colours and resolution.

How is it billed?

  • One credit balance covers every Context.dev API; a Brand lookup costs 10 credits and a Styleguide 10.
  • Brand autocomplete costs 1 credit on Free and Developer, and is free on Pro, Growth and Scale.
  • A Brand lookup that finds nothing (400 NOT_FOUND) is not charged.
  • Past the monthly allowance, Auto-Topup buys 1,000-credit blocks: $3.00 on Developer, $2.00 on Pro, $1.50 on Growth, $1.00 on Scale, $0.75 on Scale 2.5M.
  • Logo Link has its own quota and does not use API credits.

What are the limits?

Concurrent requests: 2 on Free, 10 on Developer, 100 on Pro, 250 on Growth, 500 on Scale; new Free organisations are also limited to 10 requests a minute.

What do the terms require?

  • Logo Link images are for direct embedding: don't download, store or rehost them. Caching as the response headers direct is allowed.
  • API access does not grant a licence to reuse third-party material such as logos; confirm you have permission to store, display or redistribute it.
  • Check a font's licence before shipping font files from Styleguide in your application.

Who keeps it current?

  • Brand reuses cached data up to maxAgeMs, three months by default; maxAgeMs of 0 forces a fresh retrieval.
  • Corrections and rebrands can be submitted at context.dev/update.

How do you call it?

curl https://api.context.dev/v1/brand/retrieve --request POST --header "Authorization: Bearer $CONTEXT_DEV_API_KEY" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"type": "by_domain", "domain": "stripe.com"}'

When should you use something else?

  • For logos alone, Logo.dev or Brandfetch cost less per logo. See Logo.dev vs Context.dev.
  • For a brand's rules, Styleguide gives you the styles a website uses, not the rules behind them, and Context.dev's own docs say to review the values before using them as a design system. See agentic brand work.
  • For fonts you will ship, check each font's licence first, as Context.dev's docs also say.
