Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Response contains "error": "auth" Missing or incorrect username/password in the URL path
Register at markerapi.com for a free account and use your exact username and password in the URL path segments.
Empty trademarks array for a known brand The search term must closely match the registered trademark text
Try shorter partial terms — search for "Nike" not "Nike Inc." — and verify the exact registered string in the USPTO TESS database.
Slow or no response The free tier has usage limits and can be slow under load
Cache results for at least 24 hours. For production use, consider querying the USPTO official APIs directly.
