lookup_mac_serialread-onlyResolve a Mac, iPad or iPhone serial number to its exact model, including 2021+ randomized serials whose characters encode nothing (so no character-decoder can read them). status says what came back: resolved, unknown_serial (no such serial; check it), unsupported (a real device whose model cannot be identified yet), or retry (temporary, never charged). device_type is Apple's device class (Mac lap
get_mac_price_statsread-onlyWhat a used Mac configuration actually sells for AND what sellers are asking right now. The sold slice is the headline: verified-sale percentiles when the config has enough recent sales (sold.basis 'direct'; n and window ride along), else the asking band scaled by a measured clearance ratio (sold.basis 'calibrated', ratio disclosed). The asking band (median/p25/p75 with sample size), per-channel m

get_mac_reportread-onlyA verified Macfax condition report as structured data: hardware-verified identity, Activation Lock / MDM / serial-match checks, coverage status, and the signing chain. Use when a listing or seller shares a macfax.com/r/ link and the buyer wants the facts behind it. status "superseded" means the same Mac was re-verified more recently under a newer report; treat the payload as historical state, not

CONSENT CONTRACT: create an alert only for a user who explicitly asked for this alert on this email address. The first alert for a new email stays inactive until the email's owner clicks the confirmation link Macfax sends; nothing is emailed before that, and every alert email carries manage and
