One API Call. Is This Brand Real?

Your AI agent is about to spend money at a merchant it has never seen before. Before it transacts, it needs to know: is this brand who they claim to be?

RegisteredBrands.AI verifies merchants against 7 independent sources — DNS, SSL, GLEIF, USPTO, SAM.gov, business registries, and web presence — and returns a cryptographically signed trust score. One POST request. Instant answer.

Free tier — no credit card required

1,000 verifications/month. Start building now.

How It Works

Two Steps. That's It.

Your agent discovers brands, then verifies them. Everything else is optional.

1

Discover

Query the public registry to find verified brands. No API key needed. Think of it as the phone book — your agent looks up whether a brand exists before doing anything else.

Public endpoint — no authentication required.

GETRequest
curl https://registeredbrands.ai/.well-known/brand-capsule.json
2

Verify

Ask us about a specific brand. We check 7 independent sources and return a trust score with cryptographic proof. Your agent gets a definitive answer: verified or not verified.

DNS — Domain ownership confirmed via TXT record
SSL — EV certificate issued by DigiCert

Built For

Who Uses This?

AI Shopping Agents

Before your agent buys from a merchant, verify the merchant is real. One API call before every transaction. Protect your users from impersonation.

"Is this the real Nike store, or a lookalike?"

Procurement Bots

Autonomous purchasing systems need to verify suppliers before committing funds. Check trust scores, business registrations, and domain ownership programmatically.

"Is this supplier's GLEIF registration active?"

Agent Platforms

If you're building an agent framework or marketplace, embed trust verification as a native capability. Give every agent on your platform the ability to check brands.

"Add brand verification to your agent toolkit."
