Attribution Requirements

Free plans require a visible link back to Motomarks on your production site. Upgrade to any paid plan to remove this requirement.

How Attribution Works

Attribution ensures proper domain verification and helps us maintain free access to Motomarks. Your attribution link:

Must be on your production site (not staging or localhost)
Must be publicly accessible and viewable in browsers
Must pass referrer data (remove any noreferrer attributes)

Implementation

Add this link on any page that displays Motomarks logos:

<a href="https://motomarks.io">Logos provided by Motomarks</a>

Example Implementation

<div class="brand-logos">
  <img
    src="https://img.motomarks.io/toyota?token=YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
    alt="Toyota"
  />
  <img
    src="https://img.motomarks.io/bmw?token=YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
    alt="BMW"
  />
  <img
    src="https://img.motomarks.io/mercedes-benz?token=YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
    alt="Mercedes-Benz"
  />
</div>
<p class="attribution">
  <a href="https://motomarks.io">Logos provided by Motomarks</a>
</p>

Placement Options

Place attribution where users can see it:

Near Logo Displays

Directly below or beside where you display brand logos.

In Page Footer

Alongside other credits and third-party links.

On About Pages

Useful for apps behind authentication with a public marketing site.

Verification Process

Once you've added the attribution link to your site, verify it in your dashboard settings. Motomarks will:

Fetch your page and check for an <a> tag linking to motomarks.io
Mark your attribution as verified and activate your API keys
Re-check the link automatically every 3 days to ensure it's still present

If the attribution link is removed or the page becomes unreachable, your API keys will be deactivated until the link is restored and re-verified.

Development Workflow

Your API key works immediately for development and testing on localhost or staging environments. Attribution verification only applies when your production site goes live.

Sign up for a free account at motomarks.io
Get your API key from the dashboard
Start building — the API works right away
Add attribution when you deploy to production
Verify the link in your settings

You won't be blocked from using the API while developing on localhost. Complete attribution when you're ready to launch.

FAQs

What if my app is behind a login?

Add attribution to your public marketing site as well, either in the footer or about page. The attribution must be on a publicly accessible page that our checker can reach.

What about native mobile apps?

Include the attribution link on your app's website or in your app store listing description.

Can I use localhost during development?

Yes. Your API key works immediately on localhost. Attribution verification only applies to your production domain when you launch.

What if my attribution link isn't being accepted?

Reach out to us at support@motomarks.io and we'll be happy to do a manual override if our system isn't working, or investigate further.

How do I remove attribution?

Upgrade to the Startup or Pro plan. All paid plans include attribution-free usage with higher request limits.
