The Free Clearbit Logo API Alternative

The fastest approach. Search your codebase and replace all Clearbit URLs.

Note: The only difference is adding domain: prefix before the domain name.

Abstract your logo URL generation for easier future changes.

// Before (coupled to Clearbit)
const logoUrl = `https://logo.clearbit.com/${domain}`;

// After (abstracted)
function getLogoUrl(domain: string): string {
  return `https://logos-api.apistemic.com/domain:${domain}`;
}

const logoUrl = getLogoUrl(domain);

Run both APIs in parallel during transition. Useful for large codebases or when you need to verify logo quality.

function getLogoUrl(domain: string): string {
  // Feature flag for gradual rollout
  const useNewApi = process.env.USE_APISTEMIC_LOGOS === 'true';

  if (useNewApi) {
    return `https://logos-api.apistemic.com/domain:${domain}`;
  }
  return `https://logo.clearbit.com/${domain}`;
}

URL Format

Use the domain: prefix for clarity. This allows us to also support linkedin: lookups.

Image Format

We return WebP instead of PNG. WebP is 25-35% smaller with the same quality and is supported by all modern browsers. No code changes needed — browsers handle it automatically.
