Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Hobby plan is free forever, with no credit card required. You get 10,000 requests/month, 30 RPM, 1 API key, and access to 25 endpoints. Perfect for testing, side projects, and prototyping.
What happens if I exceed my request limit?
By default, additional requests return a 429 error until your limit resets on the 1st of each month (00:00 UTC). However, Indie and Pro plans can turn on extra usage in the Developer Console and keep a prepaid balance (topped up by hand or with optional automatic top-ups). Requests beyond your plan are then paid from that balance at $0.50 per 1,000 credits on Indie and $0.30 on Pro instead of being blocked. Unspent balance is refunded when you move to Hobby or delete your account, minus the card processing fee. Most endpoints consume 1 credit per call; search, bulk lookups and the nutrition calculators use 2 to 5 credits, and AI-powered endpoints (cooking tips, photo recognition, recipe analysis, meal plan generation) use 65 to 400 credits. Full per-endpoint costs are listed in the documentation and visible in Test Kitchen. Hobby plan users must upgrade to increase their limits.
Can I cancel or switch plans anytime?
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Cancel instantly from the Developer Console. Your access stays active until the end of the billing period. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades apply at the end of your current cycle so you keep full access until then.
Who owns the recipe data?
Foodashi grants you a commercial license to use API data in your applications, whatever kind of app you build. This is a license, not an ownership transfer: the underlying database, API infrastructure, and algorithms remain Foodashi’s intellectual property. You may not resell raw API responses, systematically scrape the catalogue, or build a competing data product or AI model from it. Indie and Pro plans include white labeling: no Foodashi branding is required, only a simple credit for the open nutrition databases we use (a link to our Data Sources page is enough). Hobby plan is for non-commercial/personal use only and requires a visible “Powered by Foodashi” credit linking to foodashi.com. Full terms are in our API License Agreement.
How many API keys can I have?
Hobby gets 1 key, Indie gets 3, Pro gets 10, and Enterprise gets unlimited. You can create, rename, and revoke keys anytime from the Developer Console. Revoked keys are permanently disabled and cannot be reactivated.
What endpoints do I get on each plan?
Endpoint access is tiered. Hobby (25 endpoints): core recipe browsing, ingredient search, nutrition reference, and utilities. Indie (54 endpoints): everything in Hobby plus full-text search, autocomplete, bulk and similar lookups, recipe-by-ingredients, meal-plan templates, AI cooking tips, shopping lists from recipes, per-recipe nutrition, allergens and beverages, the NutriMetric calculator, and FDA/EU nutrition labels. Pro (all 74 endpoints): everything above plus AI features (meal plan generation/customization, recipe analysis from text/URL, food photo recognition), semantic vector search, natural-language food logging, AI beverage pairing, and recipe compare/taste/sustainability/medical. See the endpoint matrix above for the full per-endpoint breakdown.
How accurate is the nutrition data?
Every recipe returns 8 key nutrients (calories, protein, fat, saturated fat, carbs, fiber, sugars, sodium), EU-14 allergens, and a 6-axis taste profile on every tier; the NutriMetric A to F grade and beverage pairing are included from the Indie tier up. Values are calculated from official government food-composition data where available; where an ingredient isn’t, they’re AI-estimated at lower confidence, never passed off as authoritative. Each recipe’s aggregate confidence is served by the recipe nutrition endpoint (Indie and up).
Is yearly billing available?
Yes. Switch to yearly billing and get 2 months free. Indie yearly is $250/yr (save $50) and Pro yearly is $900/yr (save $180). You can toggle between monthly and yearly from the pricing cards above.
