MAC Info API is an API designed to provide detailed information about MAC (Media Access Control) addresses of network devices. MAC addresses are unique identifiers assigned to the network interface of each device, such as computers, printers, phones, and other equipment connected to a network. This API is essential for network administration, security, and device analysis tasks.
The MAC Info API allows users to query and obtain detailed information about a specific MAC address.
Manufacturer Info Lookup: The API provides details about the manufacturer of the device associated with a MAC address, such as the name of the company that manufactured the network card. This is useful for identifying the origin of devices on a network and for hardware audits.
Device Type Detection: Allows the type of device associated with the MAC address to be identified, such as whether it is a router, switch, printer or computer. This information helps in the management and classification of devices in a network.
Model and Version Identification: The API can provide additional details about the model and version of the hardware, if available. This is useful for maintenance and compatibility of equipment.
In summary, MAC Info is a valuable API for anyone who needs to obtain detailed information about network device MAC addresses. Its ability to provide accurate data on device manufacturers, models and types, along with its easy integration and support for bulk queries, makes it an essential tool for network management, security and hardware analysis.
The API receives a MAC address and provides information about the manufacturer, model and type of device associated with that address.
Network Device Identification: Network administrators can use the API to identify and classify devices connected to the network based on their MAC addresses.
Security Audits: Facilitates the detection of unknown or unauthorized devices on a network, helping to identify potential threats or intrusions.
Inventory Maintenance: Helps maintain an up-to-date inventory of devices on a network, providing information on the manufacturer and model of each device.
Connectivity Troubleshooting: Helps identify and troubleshoot network problems by providing details about devices that could be causing conflicts.
Device Monitoring: Uses the API to monitor and manage the status and location of devices on a network, ensuring that all devices are easily identifiable.
Besides the number of API calls per month, there is a limitation of 60 requests per minute in the Basic and Pro plan.
To use this endpoint, send a request with a MAC address. The API will return information about the manufacturer, model and type of device.

Sends a MAC address in the request. The API returns information about the manufacturer, model and device type.
The MAC Info API provides details about the manufacturer, model and device type associated with a specific MAC address.
There are different plans suits everyone including a free trial for small amount of requests, but it’s rate is limit to prevent abuse of the service.
Zyla provides a wide range of integration methods for almost all programming languages. You can use these codes to integrate with your project as you need.
The API returns detailed information about the age and history of a domain, including years, months and days since its creation, as well as expiration and update dates.
The MAC Info API returns detailed information about a MAC address, including the manufacturer name, device type, model, and address details. The response is structured in JSON format.
Key fields in the response include "company" (manufacturer name), "type" (device type), "addressL1" (primary address), and "country" (country of origin). These fields help identify and classify devices.
The response data is organized in a JSON array, where each object contains fields like "startHex," "endHex," and manufacturer details. This structure allows easy parsing and access to specific information.
The endpoint provides information about the manufacturer, model, device type, and geographical location associated with a MAC address, aiding in device identification and network management.
Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates from reliable sources, including manufacturer databases and industry standards, ensuring that the information remains current and trustworthy.
Typical use cases include network device identification, security audits for unauthorized devices, inventory maintenance, and troubleshooting connectivity issues by analyzing device details.
Users can utilize the returned data to classify devices, perform audits, and monitor network health. For example, identifying a device type can help in troubleshooting specific network issues.
Standard data patterns include consistent manufacturer names and device types. Users can expect to see common manufacturers like Cisco or Apple, which aids in quick identification and classification.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
