Brand Research
Look up brand information using the brand.dev API and save logos locally.
Prerequisites
- brand.dev API key in
BRANDDEV_API_KEYenvironment variable (sign up at brand.dev)
Step 1: Get the Domain
Extract the target domain from the user's input. Strip protocol and trailing slashes (e.g., https://example.com/ -> example.com).
Step 2: Fetch Brand Info
curl -s "https://api.brand.dev/v1/brand/retrieve?domain=${DOMAIN}" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${BRANDDEV_API_KEY}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"Extract from the response:
- Brand name (
.brand.titleor.brand.name) - Description (
.brand.description) - Logo URLs (from
.brand.logos[]) -- prefer icon/square logos for card layouts, full logos for headers - Industry/category if available
Step 3: Download Logos Locally
Always download logos locally for serving. External media.brand.dev URLs can change or go down.
Where to save
Match the project's existing asset conventions:
- Next.js / static sites:
public/logos/<context>/(served as/logos/<context>/) - Other web projects: check for existing
static/,assets/,images/, orpublic/directories - If no convention exists: create a
logos/directory under the project's static asset root
Naming Convention
<brand-slug>.<ext>-- lowercase brand name, spaces replaced by hyphens (e.g.,miss-anotmiss_a)- Optionally group by context subdirectory (e.g.,
partners/,customers/) if the project has multiple logo collections
Download Command
mkdir -p <logo-dir>
curl -sL "<logo-url>" -o "<logo-dir>/<brand-slug>.<ext>"Verify Download
ls -la <logo-dir>/<brand-slug>.<ext>Step 4: Return Results
Provide the user with:
- Brand name
- Description
- Industry
- Local logo path -- the path to use in code (relative to the project's static root)
- Original source URL (for reference only)
Important Rules
- Always save images locally -- never use
media.brand.devURLs directly in production code. - Use local paths in code -- reference relative to the project's static asset serving root.
- Prefer square/icon logos for card layouts (they fit better in grid cards).
- Prefer full/horizontal logos for headers and hero sections.
- If the brand has no logos in the API response, note this and suggest using a fallback icon.
