OpenMenu

OpenMenu provides structured menu data and menu publishing for restaurants, built on the open OpenMenu Format specification. Its public REST API helps developers locate restaurants, menus, and menu items, returning structured data including names, descriptions, prices, locations, and dietary attributes such as vegan, vegetarian, halal, kosher, and gluten-free. The standard API covers search, restaurant, location, deals, and ingredients endpoints, while an Enhanced enterprise tier adds DishDNA machine-learning analysis, trends, heatmaps, and gap analysis. The API offers a sandbox mode (s=sample / id=sample), API key authentication via the key query parameter, and tiered pricing from a free plan up to enterprise on a daily/monthly credit model.

OpenMenu publishes 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Analytics API, Deals API, Ingredients API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Restaurant, Menus, Menu Data, Search, and Nutrition.

The OpenMenu catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

OpenMenu’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, signup flow, and 6 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/openmenu: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
