GET ./places/brands

Returns every brand (retail chain, franchise, operator) present in the search area, with a count of its places — and, where the brand is linked to Wikidata, its logo, official website, industry and parent organisation.

Example Request to GET all Brands in the US:

Brand Details from Wikidata​

Brands with a Wikidata QID are automatically enriched — no extra parameters needed:

{
  "names": { "primary": "Bank of America" },
  "wikidata": "Q487907",
  "ext_wikidata_label": "Bank of America",
  "ext_logo_url": "http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:FilePath/Bank%20of%20America%20logo.svg",
  "ext_website": "https://www.bankofamerica.com/",
  "ext_industry": "financial sector",
  "counts": { "places": 12 }
}
  • ext_logo_url is a Wikimedia Commons link; append ?width=200 for a resized image, ready for an <img> tag
  • ext_parent names the parent organisation where known
  • Wikidata data is CC0 (no attribution required); logo usage is subject to normal trademark law
  • Fields are simply absent for brands without a Wikidata link

To fetch the places of a specific brand, use /places with brand_wikidata (preferred) or brand_name — see Places.
