Brands

Request

Run this on your server with SPECSPOOL_API_KEY set.

curl --request GET 'https://api.specspool.com/v1/brands?category=phone' \
  --header "x-api-key: $SPECSPOOL_API_KEY"

Parameters

Required header: x-api-key.

• Category values: phone, tablet, smartwatch, laptop, desktop, cpu, gpu, motherboard, memory, storage, peripheral, reference. Use GET /v1/categories to discover categories with published devices.
• The response contains the complete matching brand list sorted by name and a catalog revision object. When category is supplied, only brands with published devices in that category are returned and deviceCount is scoped to that category.
• To find devices for a brand, use Search devices with q and brand.
• This is a discovery request. Account-wide discovery limits use fixed UTC windows and apply across all API keys.

Response

200 OK, application/json. See Response schema for device, brand, variant and search-result fields.

All customer /v1 responses use Cache-Control: private, no-store. Free device-detail responses omit image URL fields. Image URLs are optional on paid plans too; check for their presence before rendering an image.
