How this service works
Pay-per-call company registry, government, legal and B2B data tools for AI agents, from official registers and public sources. Payment: x402, USDC on Base, Solana, Arc, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad, World Chain, Optimism, Avalanche, Celo or Stellar, or RLUSD/XRP on the XRP Ledger. No signup, no API key; a failed call is not charged.
Output
A JSON object containing the full MAC address queried, the OUI prefix (first three octets), the registered vendor name (e.g. 'Cumulus Networks, inc'), the source URL (macvendors.com API), and a checkedAt timestamp indicating when the lookup was performed.
Example use cases
Identify rogue device on network
“I see an unknown device on my network with MAC address B8:27:EB:12:34:56 — can you look up who manufactured it so I know if it's suspicious?”
Network asset inventory enrichment
“I have a list of MAC addresses from our office network scan; start with DC:A6:32:AA:BB:CC and tell me which hardware vendor is registered for that address.”
Cybersecurity forensics investigation
“During a packet capture analysis I found traffic from 00:50:56:AB:12:34 — what vendor made that NIC so I can narrow down what kind of device it is?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.companyrecords-api.workers.dev/api/b2b/macvendors-lookup?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to quickly identify the hardware manufacturer of a device given its MAC address or OUI prefix, especially for network inventory, security auditing, or device identification tasks. It is ideal when you want a simple vendor name lookup without needing full device profile data. Prefer this over manual IEEE registry lookups or building your own OUI database.
Side effects
- Unknown or unregistered OUI returns an error or empty vendor field if the MAC prefix is not in the IEEE registry
- Malformed MAC address input (wrong format, wrong length) may return a 400-level error
- Rate limiting or upstream macvendors.com availability issues could cause failures
- Private/locally administered MAC addresses (second bit of first byte set) are not registered and will not resolve to a vendor
