The Community Identity API
Let your platform display verified community ownership badges for any SmartLogoz-registered business. One registration. Every platform.
This is not a DEI program.
SmartLogoz is verified public business data — the same category as a BBB accreditation, a state license, or a Google rating. Business owners self-declare and self-register their community identity. Your platform simply displays a publicly declared fact.
Owned by the business
The badge belongs to the business that registered it — not to your platform, not to a policy. You're a display layer, not a decision-maker.
Compliance-friendly framing
"We surface publicly verified business identity data from a third-party registry" is a very different sentence than "we have a DEI program."
Immune to internal policy
A corporate memo can remove an internal classification. It cannot remove a verified external data field that a business owner controls.
SmartLogoz does not tell companies who to hire, who to promote, or how to spend their budgets. It is an opt-in public registry. Displaying its data is an act of market transparency, not corporate policy.
How it works
Business registers once
A business registers on SmartLogoz, selects their community codes (Black-owned, Women-owned, Veteran, etc.), and gets a verified SmartLogo badge.
You query our API
Your platform calls our API with the business EIN or name. We return their verified community codes and a ready-to-embed badge.
Display on your platform
Render the badge JSON with your own UI, or drop in a single <img> tag pointing to our SVG badge endpoint. Zero setup required.
Authentication
Pass your API key in the X-SmartLogoz-Key request header on every call.

}Drop-in Badge Embed + Interactive Widget
Option A — static image, no JS required. Option B — embed.js widget: hover shows community identity card, click opens the SmartLogoz verification page.
<!-- Option B: Interactive widget (no API key needed) --> <script src="https://smartlogoz.com/embed.js" data-business="BUSINESS_ID" data-theme="dark"> </script>
Hovering the badge shows business name, community codes, and a "Register your business" CTA. Clicking opens smartlogoz.com/verify/BUSINESS_ID.
