GSMArena API

GSMArena phone, tablet and watch specifications as clean JSON, with normalized numbers.

The API.SH GSMArena API turns GSMArena's spec database into structured JSON. List every brand, page through a brand's devices newest first, search phones, tablets and watches by name, and read a device's full specification sheet grouped as on the site: network, launch, body, display, platform, memory, cameras, battery, test results and more. Each sheet also carries normalized numbers such as weight, battery mAh, display size, resolution and PPI, RAM and storage options and camera megapixels.

API.SH vs the official GSMArena API

GSMArena has no official public API. What ranks for 'GSMArena API' is unofficial GitHub wrappers and community projects that parse the site and break when it changes. API.SH maintains the parsing for you and returns specs as JSON with one key.

Instead of a GitHub gsmarena-api wrapper, a dated Kaggle dataset or an Apify spec actor, API.SH gives you current data, one key and a fixed price per call.

GSMArena API questions

What GSMArena data can I get?+

Every brand with its device count (/gsmarena/v1/brands), a brand's devices newest first (/gsmarena/v1/brand), device search by name (/gsmarena/v1/search) and a device's full spec sheet with normalized values (/gsmarena/v1/phone).

How much does the GSMArena API cost?+

Every GSMArena endpoint costs 1 credit per call. On a monthly plan 1,000 credits cost $1 (Starter is $50/month for 50,000 credits). Pay-as-you-go is $2 per 1,000 credits, with top-ups from $15 that never expire.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes. Every account gets 1,000 free credits every month. That is 1,000 calls to /gsmarena/v1/brand at 1 credit each.

Is there an official GSMArena API?+

No. GSMArena does not publish a developer API, so the projects you find on GitHub are unofficial parsers. API.SH is a maintained alternative that returns the same public spec data as JSON.

Is there a free GSMArena API?+

Every API.SH account gets 1,000 free credits every month, enough to try every endpoint. Free GitHub wrappers exist too, but you host and fix them yourself.

Do I need a GSMArena account or API key from GSMArena?+

No. API.SH reads public GSMArena pages only. You only need your API.SH key.

Can I use it from Python?+

Yes. Call it with any HTTP client or the official Python SDK. Search with q, then pass the device id to /gsmarena/v1/phone, or call /gsmarena/v1/phone with q to look up a device by name directly.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key from the dashboard. 3. Call /gsmarena/v1/phone with a device name in q, such as Galaxy S25 Ultra. Every parameter and request examples are in the docs at https://api.sh/docs. You can also use the JS or Python SDK, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or the MCP server at https://api.sh/mcp.
