Edamam

Directory entry · last reviewed 2026-08-22

Self-serve tiered freemium, priced separately per product line (Nutrition Analysis, Food Database, Meal Planner) — and each API uses its own app_id/app_key pair that does not carry across. Terms reportedly restrict calls to end-user-driven requests and prohibit scraping: an architectural constraint, not just a cost. No approval gate is documented in the sources we checked, which is not the same as there being none.
