Overview

Phone Specification API is a free REST API that returns detailed hardware and software specifications for thousands of smartphone models. You can search by brand, model name, or browse all available phones without any API key. It is a great resource for building phone comparison tools, spec sheets, or device lookup features.

Beginner Tip

Start by calling the /brands endpoint to get a list of all supported phone brands, then use a brand slug to fetch models for that brand.

Available Data

Example Response

Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

404 Not Found for a phone model The phone slug in the URL does not match the API's naming convention.
✓ First call /brands/{brand_slug} to get the exact model slugs, then use those to query /phones/{model_slug}.
Deployment URL has changed This is a community-maintained API and may be redeployed at a new URL.
✓ Check the GitHub repo (github.com/azharimm/phone-specs-api) for the latest deployment link.
Missing spec fields in response Not all phones in the database have complete specification data.
✓ Check for null or undefined values before displaying specs, and show a fallback message for missing fields.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
