Est. 2018 · Type Allocation Code registry
Fifteen digits in.
One device out.
Every handset ever built carries an IMEI. We maintain the register that turns it back into a manufacturer, a model and a hardware profile — and we answer in under 200 milliseconds.
01 — The record
Five facts, and nothing you didn't ask for.
No upsell fields, no speculative scoring, no schema that quietly grows a sixth key the week after you ship. What you integrate against today is what answers next year.
“Need more than five? We hold considerably deeper hardware detail — and we'll build the feed around your workflow.”

}02 — Access
Three steps, no sales call.
Open an account
7 days, a hundred lookups a day, no card. Enough to build the integration properly and see real answers before you decide anything.
Take your key
Issued the moment you sign up. Send it as an
X-Api-Keyheader, or atokenparameter if that suits your stack better.Ask the register
One GET, one JSON object back, typically inside 180 ms. Malformed numbers fail the checksum locally and never touch your quota.
03 — Rates
Buy a pot of lookups. Draw it down.
No subscription, no seats, no monthly reset that throws away what you didn't use. Pay once for a bundle and spend it at your own pace.
