How this service works
Parse a MAC address in any common notation: canonical forms, OUI, unicast or multicast, universal or local.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the verdict (valid/invalid), bare hex, colon-separated, hyphen-separated, Cisco-dot, and OUI fields; flags for broadcast, cast (unicast/multicast), administration (universal/local), a summary, list of reasons, and optional disclaimer if data is degraded or not fully checked.
Example use cases
Network device inventory normalization
“I have a list of MAC addresses coming in all different formats — dashes, colons, dots — can you parse 00-1A-2B-3C-4D-5E and give me the canonical colon format plus the OUI so I can standardize my device inventory?”
Validate device authenticity in onboarding
“We're onboarding a new IoT device that reported its MAC as 0050.56ff.fe12 — can you parse it and tell me if it's a valid universally administered unicast address and what its OUI is?”
Detect broadcast or multicast MAC addresses
“Can you check the MAC address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and tell me whether it's a broadcast or multicast address and give me a full breakdown of its properties?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://id-validators.x402tookit.com/mac-parse?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to parse, normalize, or validate a MAC address in any common notation (colon, hyphen, bare hex, Cisco dot) and want structured output including OUI, cast type, and administration scope. It is purpose-built for MAC addresses specifically, unlike generic regex validators. Prefer it when downstream logic depends on canonical formatting or OUI lookup.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed MAC address returns a non-null reasons array explaining the parse failure
- Missing 'id' query parameter results in a 400 or error response
- Ambiguous or partial MAC strings (too short/long) yield a verdict of invalid with reason codes
- OUI lookup may return null if the OUI is not found in the database
