What is the SVGL API?

SVGL serves a curated library of brand and product logos as SVG files with no API key. Each entry returns the logo URL, its categories, the company website and, where one exists, a separate wordmark variant and a link to the official brand assets.

Finding a clean SVG of a company's logo normally means hunting through a press kit or tracing a PNG. SVGL curates them — optimised, consistently formatted, categorised — and exposes the catalogue as JSON. Because the assets are SVG they scale without loss and can be recoloured with CSS, which is what you want for a technology stack diagram or an integrations page.

The `wordmark` field is the detail that matters for layout. Many brands have both a symbol and a horizontal logotype, and which one you need depends on the space: a square mark in a grid, a wordmark in a header. SVGL returns them as separate URLs where both exist, and omits the field entirely where they do not. `brandUrl` links to the company's official brand kit, which is where you go to check usage rules — worth remembering, because these are trademarks and SVGL hosting them does not grant you any right to use them.

Common errors and how to fix them

wordmark is undefined

Not every brand has a separate logotype.

Fix: Check the field exists before using it and fall back to `route`, which is always present.

Logo not in the catalogue

It is a curated collection, not exhaustive.

Fix: Search first, and fall back to the company's own brand kit. The project accepts contributions.

SVG renders with the wrong colour

Some logos use `currentColor` and inherit from CSS.

Fix: That is a feature for theming, but set an explicit colour where you need the brand's own.

Trademark objection

These are trademarks, and hosting is not permission.

Fix: Follow `brandUrl` to the official guidelines before using a logo commercially.

SVGL API — frequently asked questions

Is the SVGL API free?

Yes, free with no key. The project is open source, though the logos themselves remain their owners' trademarks.

What is the difference between route and wordmark?

`route` is the primary logo, usually the symbol or mark. `wordmark` is the horizontal logotype, present only for brands that have a separate one. Which you want depends on the space in your layout.

Can I use these logos commercially?

The API is free, but trademark rules still apply. Follow `brandUrl` to the company's official guidelines before any commercial use.

How do I find a specific brand?

Use the `search` query parameter, or browse by category. The `/categories` endpoint lists every category with its count.
