Foodashi

The Recipe & Nutrition API

What it does

Other recipe APIs are pricey and inconsistent. Some recipes have no image or a bad one, some are missing a description or have gaps in the data. Foodashi gives you complete, consistent data for every recipe: a real photo, a description, ingredients, nutrition, EU-14 allergen flags, dietary tags, a taste profile, and a NutriMetric A to F score. Nutrition is computed from 11 official databases, and any value not found there is clearly flagged as estimated. Affordable, white-label, free tier.

    OpenNutrition – A free, public nutrition database2025 · opennutrition.app · ▲311

    Hi HN! Today I’m excited to launch OpenNutrition: a free, ODbL-licenced nutrition database of everyday generic, branded, and restaurant foods, a search engine that can browse the web to import new foods, and a companion app that bundles the database and search as a free macro tracking app. Consistently logging the foods you eat has been shown to support long-term health outcomes (1)(2), but doing so easily depends on having a large, accurate, and up-to-date nutrition database. Free, public databases are often out-of-date, hard to navigate, and missing critical coverage (like branded…

    Plain Text Nutritional Data Parser2018 · ▲8

    https://github.com/galvez/contagrama Right now I've got a tagger UI and an API that correctly identifies foods you've tagged (from the USDA Food Nutrition Database) and processes gram-amounts from plain text to produce a combined nutritional chart. This is very early stage so more of a call for help: the nutrient chart needs a better design and the API needs work in properly processing g/mg/ml and all the weight conversions defined in the usda_weights table. If you're into nutrition, liked the project and would like to help, drop me a note.

    Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
