Data Sources
TechAtlas aims to use only factual data, licensed datasets, official feeds, and properly attributed sources — no scraped page content or unlicensed images. This page documents exactly where each kind of data comes from.
Phone specifications
- TechAPI curated dataset (GitHub, CC-BY-SA 4.0) — recent models; every record cites its sources including manufacturer spec pages.
- Structured spec dataset (phone-specs-api, GitHub) — factual fields only: chipset, display, battery, camera, connectivity. No text, images, or descriptions are copied.
- We store only factual specification values (numbers, model names, standard terms), which are not copyrightable. Manufacturer names are used nominatively for identification.
Prices
- Amazon product search results via the RapidAPI "real-time-amazon-data" API. We display price, MRP, and a link to the Amazon product page.
- Prices are cached and refreshed on a schedule; they are indicative and may differ at checkout.
Product images
- Wikimedia Commons — freely licensed press/product photos only, matched to devices by model name.
- Amazon product photos returned by the price API as a fallback.
- Where no licensed image exists, we show an original TechAtlas illustration instead of using unlicensed manufacturer imagery.
News articles
- Official manufacturer newsrooms and public RSS feeds (Apple Newsroom, Samsung Newsroom, The Verge, Android Authority, TechRadar, Ars Technica, Wired).
- We ingest headlines and links only — article text is written by TechAtlas editors and reviewed before publication. Original sources are linked in every article.
