# Work with brands

> Find the brand IDs used to scope LocalAds products and templates.

An organization API key can access multiple brands. List them before creating
or browsing brand-owned resources:

```bash theme={null}
curl https://makelocalads.com/api/v1/brands \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $LOCALADS_API_KEY"
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "1423f915-beca-4c53-a5e4-7c8c99537be9",
      "name": "Example Beauty",
      "slug": "example-beauty",
      "website_url": "https://example.com",
      "created_at": "2026-07-20T10:00:00.000Z",
      "updated_at": "2026-07-20T10:00:00.000Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

Use the returned `id` as `brand_id` when creating a product or listing products
and templates.

You do not need to send `brand_id` when retrieving a resource by its ID.
Photoshoot creation also omits it because LocalAds derives the brand from the
selected product and requires the template to belong to that same brand.
