# Branding API

> Read effective branding for a host — logo, colors, brand name. Read by the dashboard middleware on every authenticated render.

# Branding API

Resolves the effective branding (logo, colors, brand name, support email) that should apply for the calling org or, when called by an unauthenticated subaccount surface, for a custom-domain host.

**Base path:** `/api/v1/branding`

**Authentication:** API key (`X-API-Key`) or session JWT.

| Method | Path                         | Purpose                                           |
| ------ | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `GET`  | `/api/v1/branding/effective` | Get the effective branding for the calling tenant |

This endpoint is hot — the Next.js dashboard middleware polls it on every authenticated render. Responses carry `Cache-Control: private, max-age=60`, so each client caches for \~60 s.
