In 2016, EveryMac.com launched its groundbreaking EveryMac Lookup API. This Application Programming Interface makes it straightforward for technical individuals, programmers, and businesses to use EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup functionality to identify Macs and other Apple hardware by serial number, order number, and other identifiers on their own websites, in internal inventory systems, and more.

Using the EveryMac Lookup API makes it possible to save a great deal of time and money not having to worry about the hundreds of thousands — and always growing number — of identifiers for Apple hardware.

Based on reader feedback, there are some trustworthy humans who are not programmers, but who still want to pay to use EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup without having to deal with the captcha that unfortunately is necessary to stop the constant attacks from bots and bad actors these days.

There also are at least a handful of wise readers who want to pay EveryMac.com directly — one Mac repair shop even sent in €100 recently — instead of being exclusively dependent on advertisers.

EveryMac.com Captcha-Free Lookup Service & Supporter Option

Accordingly, after months of hard work, EveryMac.com is pleased to launch two new features -- the EveryMac.com Captcha-Free Lookup service and the EveryMac.com Supporter option.

The EveryMac.com Captcha-Free Lookup service makes it possible to use the standard EveryMac.com Ultimate Mac Lookup directly without the captcha in just a few clicks with no technical skills or programming required.

The EveryMac.com Supporter option makes it easy to pay a modest amount to EveryMac.com each month for those who find the site valuable and who would like to do so.

EveryMac.com is doing well, with more readers and more dedicated sponsors from more countries around the world than at any point in its nearly 24-year history.

EveryMac.com already has done its best to disable tracking from Google's network advertising where the search giant allows. In the months and years ahead, if the number of dedicated sponsors around the world continues to grow, readers continue to support the companies that sponsor the site, and now some readers choose to support the site directly, it should be possible to further reduce network advertising.

As always, please tell all your Mac-using, iPod-wearing, iPhone-packing, iPad-toting, and Apple Watch-strapping friends about EveryMac.com.
