AI training and grounding

Training a model on iFixit content needs a separate data license. Reach out and tell us what data and update cadence you need, and we will scope it with you.

Rules of the road

All API use must comply with our Terms of Use.

Keep part and tool links

Wherever you show our content, you must keep the links to iFixit parts, tools, and kits. If you need them out, that is a custom deal, and it costs more.

You may cache content for a day

Cache responses for up to 24 hours so your product stays fast. You are not allowed to permanently store our data, replicate our database, or create a derivative dataset.

No training AI models

Every self-serve plan prohibits using iFixit content to train or fine-tune a model.

Credit the people who wrote it

Attribution is required on every plan. Each document includes authorship information. Community use is under CC BY-NC-SA. Paid plans include a commercial license.

What counts as commercial use?

Using our content to make money or to run a business. Examples include a paid app, a repair shop's software, an ad-supported site, or a tool your company uses internally. Fixing your own things, a class project, research, or a repair cafe is not commercial. If you're not sure which side you're on, email api@ifixit.com and we'll help you out.

What is the difference between content calls and other calls?

A content call is a GET request that returns a guide, a device page, wiki page, a troubleshooting page, or a document. Everything else is an other call: search, lists of guides or devices, reading and writing to Workbench, listing comments, and every request that writes.

What happens when I use up my included calls?

API calls keep working and the extra ones bill based on usage. We won't shut you off mid-month. Community keys stop at 1,000 content calls or 10,000 other calls and reset at the start of the next month.

How does the free tier work?

Make a key on your profile and start using the API! You get 1,000 content calls and 10,000 other calls a month, for non-commercial use with attribution. Reasonable rate limits apply. No credit card is required.

Do part links need to stay with content?

Yes. You must include parts purchase links with any repair guide or schematics that you display. This helps us keep API prices down and fund new content development. Links must be plain, visible hrefs without nofollow.

Do you have a trial?

Yes, you can use a personal account key while developing your app. You must switch to paid plans for anything in production, whether for internal or external use.
