MAC Address Lookup API

MAC address, also known as network interface card (NIC) identifiers, are unique to each device that connects to a network. MAC addresses are used by devices to identify themselves on the network and allow frames to be marked for specific hosts. They are essential to networking and form the basis for most of the link layer (OSI level 2) networking upon which upper-layer protocols rely to produce complex, functioning networks.

When troubleshooting a network issue, knowing the source device’s MAC address can be critical to finding and fixing the problem. To do this, you’ll need to use a tool that can look up the device’s manufacturer or vendor based on its MAC address. This can be done by entering the MAC address on a website or using an API that will provide this information.

The MACvendedors API is one such service that provides a simple method to identify the manufacturer of a network device by its MAC address. It allows users to enter the MAC address or the OUI and displays the corresponding manufacturer along with its address prefixes. It supports a wide range of formats including those with delimiters and zero-padded. It also returns a list of vendors, including their name, MAC prefix and address ranges.

Another MAC address lookup website is HWaddress, which offers a clutter-free platform that does not bombard users with information or links. Simply input the MAC address or vendor name into the field and click “Search.” The website will display the company name, OUI, and MAC ranges of the selected vendor in an instant.
