# Quickstart

> Start fetching brand data in under 2 minutes.

## 1. Get your API Key

To start using BrandsAPI, you'll need an API key. You can get one for free by signing up on our [Dashboard](https://brandsapi.com/dashboard).

## 2. Install the SDK

If you're using JavaScript or TypeScript, we recommend using our official SDK for the best experience.

```bash theme={null}
npm install brandsapi-sdk
```

## 3. Make your first call

Use the SDK to fetch data for any domain. Here's a quick example fetching Stripe's brand data:

```javascript theme={null}
import { BrandsAPI } from 'brandsapi-sdk';

const brandsapi = new BrandsAPI('YOUR_API_KEY');

const brand = await brandsapi.getBrand('stripe.com');

console.log(brand.name); // "Stripe"
console.log(brand.colors[0].hex); // "#635BFF"
```

## 4. Using the REST API

If you're not using JavaScript, you can make a direct HTTP request to our API.

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.brandsapi.com/v1/brand/stripe.com \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
```
