Fly By Jing

Fly By Jing is a premium Chinese food brand founded by James Beard Award-winning chef and entrepreneur Jing Gao in 2018, best known for its small-batch Sichuan Chili Crisp made in Chengdu without preservatives or added sugar. The company sells its signature sauces, noodles, gift sets, and pantry staples direct-to-consumer through a Shopify-powered storefront at flybyjing.com. From an API Evangelist perspective, the storefront exposes a real, live machine surface: a Shopify Storefront MCP server at /api/mcp (search_catalog, get_cart, update_cart, get_product_details, search_shop_policies_and_faqs) and a Shopify Customer Account API secured with OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect, discoverable via the domain's /.well-known/openid-configuration document. Surfaced originally as a Techstars portfolio lead and enriched here from live discovery probes of the store domain.

Fly By Jing publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Food and Beverage, Consumer Packaged Goods, Ecommerce, and Shopify.

Fly By Jing’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, pricing, authentication, and 12 more developer resources.
