Manufacturers

Match a manufacturer

Resolve a full name, partial name, or alias to canonical Zenode manufacturers — useful for normalizing a "supplier" column or getting the slug to pass as a manufacturer hint elsewhere. Free — no match or part-record billing (abuse-tracked only).

Each result is { manufacturer, confidence }, ranked best-first — manufacturer is a Manufacturer (slug, name, logo).
