Food Search gives you food discovery, media lookup, and conversational food responses in one API. Send a search query, image URL, or text prompt, and get structured results back for recipes, menu items, grocery products, videos, trivia, jokes, and chatbot answers.
Use /food/search to search across food content with query, and optionally number and offset. Use /food/site/search to look up site content by query across Recipes, Articles, Menu Items, and Grocery Products. For richer discovery, /food/videos/search supports query plus filters like diet, type, cuisine, includeIngredients, excludeIngredients, minLength, maxLength, number, and offset, returning video metadata and totalResults.
If you work with images, /food/images/classify accepts an imageUrl and returns a category with probability. /food/images/analyze also takes imageUrl, and returns nutrition, category, and matching recipes. For text-based workflows, /food/detect accepts a body with text and returns annotations, while /food/converse and /food/converse/suggest provide answerText, media, suggests, and words for food-focused chat flows.
You can also generate lightweight engagement content with /food/trivia/random and /food/jokes/random, both returning a single text field. This makes Food Search useful for recipe apps, content sites, assistants, and product experiences that need food search, classification, and conversational output without building the logic yourself.
