I built a recipe API because the existing ones were too expensive and too inconsistent

Short summary

Developer built Foodashi, a recipe API addressing pain points with existing solutions: high pricing and data inconsistency. Every recipe has identical fields (nutrition, allergens, images, dietary info), sourced from 11 official government databases. Free tier offers 10k calls/month; Pro includes AI meal planning and recipe extraction.

  • •Foodashi solves expensive and inconsistent recipe APIs through consistency-first design
  • •All recipes have identical field schemas with nutrition from 11 government databases
  • •Free tier (10k calls/month) and Pro with AI meal planning, photo recognition, recipe extraction

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
