Parqet and Elbstream logo API alternative: what each one does well

You asked your AI builder for a watchlist with logos, and it picked Parqet's logo URLs. They are free, need no key, and cover a lot of stocks. This page shows what those URLs return next to ours, so you can judge with your own eyes.

Short answer

Parqet, now Elbstream, has a big catalog: it says “400,000+ stocks, ETFs, funds and crypto”. It serves real SVG files, PNG up to 512 px, and finds a company by ISIN or WKN as well as by ticker. The free tier asks for a visible link back on every page that shows a logo.

LogoAPI.sh needs no key and no link back. Its logos have no baked background and come in a dark version. A coin symbol on its ticker URL gives the coin. Its catalog is smaller, and some names you may hold still get a small site icon or a letter tile. 2M requests a month per site. Burst limits apply.

Parqet is now Elbstream

The page parqet.com/api now redirects to elbstream.com/logos. Parqet's own app names its logo source as “Elbstream Data”. The old image URLs on assets.parqet.com still worked in our test.

Quick comparison

See it side by side

Every image below loads live from each service. Nothing is redrawn. If an image does not load, its tile says so.

1. Parqet / Elbstream

Parqet is a portfolio tracker that also gave away its logo URLs. The logos now come from Elbstream, a free company and stock logo service. You put a ticker in an image URL and get a square logo tile.

Pros

• Says it covers “400,000+ stocks, ETFs, funds and crypto”
• Real SVG by default: 40 of 40 we checked were true vector files
• PNG at 256 or 512 px, plus JPG and WebP
• Find a company by ISIN or WKN, not only by ticker
• A separate coin URL that got 29 of 30 coins right
• No key, and no limit hit when we sent 200 quick requests

Cons

• Coin symbols on the ticker URL return companies: BTC gives Grayscale, SOL gives Emeren
• A square background is baked into almost every logo; no dark version
• The free tier needs a visible link back on every page with a logo, and Parqet and Elbstream name different sites
• No CORS: fine in an image tag, blocked if your app loads the file in code (canvas, image export, PDF)
• Some tickers are ambiguous or strict: MC gives Moelis, not LVMH; BRK.B fails, only BRK-B works
• No lookup by website

2. LogoAPI.sh

LogoAPI.sh is ours. One image URL from a ticker, a coin symbol or a company website. No key, no signup, no link back.

Pros

• No key, no signup, no link back, for personal or commercial apps
• A coin symbol on the ticker URL gives the coin, so one list can hold stocks and coins
• No baked background, and a dark version by URL
• Square tiles only when you ask: add ?shape=square
• Works in code too: every answer allows any site (CORS)
• 2M requests a month per site. Burst limits apply.

Cons

• A smaller, hand-picked catalog
• Some stocks get the company's small site icon or a letter tile instead of a real logo; see names we still miss
• No ISIN or WKN lookup
• No JPG or WebP
• ETFs show the fund company, same as Parqet

Where Parqet / Elbstream is stronger

• Coins, on the right URL. Its coin URL got 29 of 30 coins right in our test. Only TON was missing. It has LTC, DAI and PEPE, which we do not.
• Real vector files. SVG is the default, and every one we checked was true vector, not a picture inside an SVG.
• Bigger PNGs. Ask for 256 or 512 px. JPG and WebP work too.
• ISIN and WKN. If your data has ISINs (common in Europe), you can skip the ticker step. Apple's ISIN and its WKN both returned Apple.
• Catalog size. It says it covers 400,000+ stocks, ETFs, funds and crypto. Many names where we show a fallback get a real logo there.

Where LogoAPI.sh helps

• The ticker URL knows coins. BTC is Bitcoin, not Grayscale. Your AI builder can use one URL for the whole list.
• No baked squares. The logo sits on your page, and a dark version is one word in the URL.
• No link back. Nothing to add to your footer, and no question about which site to credit.
• Works in code. CORS is open, so image export, canvas and PDF in the browser work.
• Lookup by website for companies that are not listed.

Names we still miss

These come from the same test, on our ticker URL. Where we have no logo, the URL still shows something: the company's small site icon (its favicon) or a tile with its first letter. Parqet had a real logo for most of them.

We add logos by how often people ask for them. Missing one you need? Tell us on the contact page.

Switch in one line

Change the start of the image URL and keep the ticker. For a mixed list of stocks and coins, /ticker/ handles both. Then you can remove the link-back line from your page.

How to choose

• Coins in the list? Either works if you use the coin URL. Only LogoAPI.sh gives coins on the ticker URL.
• Dark mode? LogoAPI.sh has a dark version. Parqet always has a square.
• Lots of small or foreign stocks? Parqet / Elbstream. Test 20 of your own symbols on both.
• ISIN or WKN data? Parqet / Elbstream.
• No credit line on your page? LogoAPI.sh.
• Big PNG, JPG or WebP? Parqet / Elbstream.

Our take

We build LogoAPI.sh, so weigh this. Parqet's logos look right on most stocks. The problems show up at the edges: coins on the ticker URL, ETFs, and dark screens.

Parqet / Elbstream covers far more stocks. If your list is long and foreign, start there, and use its coin URL for crypto.

Many apps can use both: ours first, Parqet as the fallback for the names we miss. Looking at more options? See logo APIs compared.
