API PLAYGROUND

Try GET /api/v1/recipes

Issue a key from Integrations in your workspace, then call the v1 API from this marketing page. Requests go to your tenant host with Authorization: Bearer — no session cookie required.

// LIVE REQUEST
GET https://{slug}.staging.recipeanalytics.ai/api/v1/recipes

Keys are created under Integrations → API keys (workspace owner only). This playground never stores your key — it stays in the browser until you leave the page.

WHY DEVELOPER APIS

Best-in-class Developer APIs for independent operators

Interactive API playground

Try GET /api/v1/recipes from the marketing site with your workspace slug and API key — responses render as JSON with no SDK.

Operators already have POS, accounting, and inventory tools. CulinaryInventory meets them where data lives — not as another silo that requires double entry.

  • Live playground: GET /api/v1/recipes
  • Vision extract: POST /api/v1/vision/recipes/extract
  • Webhook events for price index updates
OUTCOMES
  • Embed AI costing in existing operator workflows
  • Reduce double entry between POS and finance
  • Extend CulinaryInventory without forking the data model
