Show HN: Free Logo API – logos for any company or domain (logos.apistemic.com)

9 points by lorey ↗ HN
The 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:

https://logos.apistemic.com

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?
That's awesome! Love that you can use it out of the box without annoying singups/keys :)
