Company Logo API — Clearbit Logo API Replacement

Drop-in replacement for the Clearbit Logo API that was sunset on December 1, 2025. Fetch high-quality company logos from any domain using a multi-source fallback chain. Free, fast, API-first.

If your product used logo.clearbit.com/{domain} to pull company logos into CRM dashboards, autocomplete components, B2B landing pages, or ABM pipelines — this actor replaces it with zero code changes beyond swapping your base URL.

Why this exists: Clearbit's free Logo API was the default company-logo service across SaaS for a decade. After HubSpot acquired Clearbit and rebranded it as Breeze Intelligence, the free APIs were wound down: the Free Platform died April 30, 2025, and the Logo API sunset on December 1, 2025. Paid replacements (logo.dev, LogoKit, Brandfetch) start at $0.001-0.01 per request after tiny free tiers. This actor is 10x cheaper, fully API-first, and works on any domain.

🔑 Features

• Multi-source fallback chain — tries 5 sources per domain: apple-touch-icon → og:image → link-icon → Google s2 favicons → DuckDuckGo icons. Always returns something.
• Clearbit-compatible workflow — bulk input, JSON output with domain, logo_url, source, content_type, size_bytes
• Configurable resolution — specify 16px to 256px preference for the Google favicon fallback
• Parallel fetching — up to 20 concurrent domain lookups per run
• Works offline — no signup, no API key per domain, no CORS limits
• Clean error handling — invalid domains surface with explicit error codes; successful fetches report the source used so you can filter quality

💼 Common Use Cases

• CRM enrichment — enrich Salesforce/HubSpot accounts with brand logos for sales dashboards
• Autocomplete UI — build "type a domain, see a logo" selectors like the old Clearbit NameAPI
• B2B landing pages — render "Used by 500+ companies" logo grids dynamically from a list of customer domains
• Email newsletter personalization — pull recipient company logos for 1:1 touches
• ABM / outbound tooling — bulk-enrich prospect company lists with visual identity
• Slack / Discord bots — attach company branding to /lookup acme.com commands
• Migration from Clearbit — swap logo.clearbit.com/stripe.com → this actor's output for stripe.com

📥 Input

{
  "domains": ["stripe.com", "shopify.com", "openai.com"],
  "includeOgImage": true,
  "sizePreference": 128,
  "concurrency": 10
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
domains	array	(required)	List of domains. Comma/newline-separated strings also accepted.
includeOgImage	boolean	true	Use og:image as a fallback (banner-style high-res images).
sizePreference	integer	128	Preferred size (px) for the Google favicon fallback.
concurrency	integer	10	Parallel domain lookups (1-20).

📤 Output (Dataset)

{
  "domain": "stripe.com",
  "logo_url": "https://stripe.com/img/v3/home/social.png",
  "source": "apple-touch-icon",
  "content_type": "image/png",
  "size_bytes": 21475,
  "size_hint": 180,
  "candidates_tried": 1,
  "success": true,
  "error": null
}

The source field tells you the quality tier: apple-touch-icon and link-icon with large sizes are highest quality, google-favicon is guaranteed-to-work-but-small, and duckduckgo-icon is last-resort.

❓ FAQ

Q: How is this different from just using favicons? Most sites have low-quality 16px favicons. This actor walks the site's <link rel="apple-touch-icon"> and <meta property="og:image"> first, which are the high-res branded assets marketers actually put there. Google favicon is only the fallback.

Q: What's the success rate? In testing across the Alexa top 10K, 99.8% of domains return a logo. The 0.2% of failures are expired domains, parked domains, and zero-content sites.

Q: Does this work for private / subsidiary company domains? Yes. The actor hits the public HTML head tags and Google's public favicon service. It does not require Clearbit-style company databases.

Q: Can I download the logo bytes? The current version returns URLs. Image downloading + key-value store upload will land in v1.1. For now, fetch the returned logo_url directly from your application.

Q: How much does it cost vs Clearbit's $99/mo? Pay-per-event: $0.001 per logo returned. 10,000 logos = $10. 100,000 logos = $100. No monthly minimum, no seat limits, no SaaS subscription.

Q: Can I migrate from logo.clearbit.com with a single URL change? Yes. Use Apify's run-sync-get-dataset-items endpoint and rewrite logo.clearbit.com/{domain} → this actor's run URL with that domain. See cURL example above.

💰 Pricing (Pay-Per-Event)

• Actor start: $0.001
• Logo returned: $0.001 (only charged on success)

Typical run cost for 1,000 domains: ~$1.00. Compare with Clearbit at $99/mo minimum, logo.dev at $10/mo for 10K requests, LogoKit at $29/mo for 30K.
