Nutrition API plans for every stage

Calorie API pricing is built for developers evaluating a nutrition and food database API, from hobby projects on the free tier to commercial meal-tracking apps on Plus. Each plan includes monthly request quotas, per-minute rate limits, and access to search, suggest, and barcode endpoints.

Non-commercial development and personal use are supported on Free, Basic, and Core. Production apps with paying users should use Plus or Enterprise and send X-API-Usage-Type: commercial on requests. Compare feature limits in the table above or read the FAQ for licensing details.

Food calorie API: frequently asked questions

Answers for developers evaluating our food API, nutrition API, and food database API.

What happens if I exceed my monthly quota?

Requests beyond your plan’s monthly quota return HTTP 402 with a "Monthly API quota exceeded" message until the next billing cycle. You can upgrade your plan from the dashboard at any time to raise the quota immediately.

Can I change or cancel my plan at any time?

Yes. Plans are billed through Stripe and managed from the developer dashboard: upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect without contacting support.

Is there a free tier for development?

Yes. The Free plan includes a monthly request quota intended for development, prototyping, and personal projects. Create an account, generate an API key, and start making requests.

What counts as commercial use?

If your product charges users, serves ads, or otherwise generates revenue, it is commercial use and requires a Plus or Enterprise plan with the X-API-Usage-Type: commercial header. Non-commercial development and personal tools can use Free, Basic, or Core.
