Logos API

Simple Node.js application providing a RESTful API for searching and retrieving logos from various user-contributed sources.

NOTE: This project is a work-in-progress and the API may change at any time. Its main purpose is being the backend for my Sketch logo fetcher plugin.

Live demo

Check out a running installation:

• Search for Google
• Get Soundcloud logo from Gilbarbara
• Get Github logo from Simple Icons

Logo sources

• Gilbarbara's SVG logos
• Dan Leech's Simple Icons
• Instant Logos

Installation

npm install
npm start

Examples

Search

By name

• http://localhost:8000/?q=gitlab

By name and source

• http://localhost:8000/?q=soundcloud&source=simpleicons

Get logo

• http://localhost:8000/gilbarbara-gitlab
• http://localhost:8000/simpleicons-soundcloud

Updating the logos

I deliberately didn't use the readily available instant-logos module, because the dependency chain was insane. Plus, the napa-based downloading of 3rd-party logos didn't work for me out-of-the-box. I took the approach of least resistance and currently just clone the source Github repositories during npm installation. To update the downloaded logos, just run npm run update-logos.

Thank you

Kudos to all the people doing the hard work of compiling and creating the logos!

Thanks to DG-i for hosting the API.
