Clearbit Logo API Sunset Approaching

Following HubSpot's acquisition of Clearbit, the Clearbit Logo API has been officially deprecated and will be permanently discontinued on December 1, 2025. Developers currently using this service should begin migrating to alternative logo providers as logo images will fail to load after the sunset date. We recommend planning your transition well before the shutdown to ensure uninterrupted service for your applications.📣 Reference our changelog for recommended alternatives and next steps: https://developers.hubspot.com/changelog/upcoming-sunset-of-clearbits-free-logo-apiLatest Programming from HubSpot for Developers Recent DHUG Events AI's Impact on Web Development The HubSpot DHUG team is connecting with AI companies shaping web development's future, beginning with Replit — an AI-powered platform that streamlines the entire app development lifecycle from ideation to deployment.
