Food Info serves harmonised nutrient data for reference foods over a versioned REST API. It merges six food-composition datasets — USDA FoodData Central, McCance & Widdowson's CoFID, ANSES Ciqual, DTU Frida, AUSNUT and Open Food Facts — into a single schema, so a caller can query nutrients across sources without reconciling each publisher's format. Endpoints cover food search, a full nutrient panel per food, a nutrient catalogue, reverse nutrient search for the richest and poorest reference foods, and recipe parsing and analysis that resolves raw ingredient lines into per-line nutrition. Authentication is an X-Api-Key header, with a free tier of 10 requests a minute and 100 a day. HTTPS only and CORS disabled, so it is built for server-to-server use. The underlying dataset carries a citable Zenodo DOI, which is unusual provenance for a commercial data API.
