Food Database API allows you to search for nutrition and diet information within our Food Database.

**Covered Use Cases**

- Search for food by keyword, food name or UPC/Barcode
- Sourcing of nutrition facts for a given food, including: macro and micro nutrients, allergen labels, lifestyle and health labels
- Search for food by given nutrient quantity for 28 nutrients
- Search for foods within a given brand

Here are some of the core features of Food Database API:

- **The Food API uses Natural Language Processing and semantically structured data.**
Each search string you input in the API goes through Edamam's proprietary natural language analysis engine. Food entities are found and quantities are attached to them when available.
In Food Logging mode the API allows for development of food logging chatbots. All text is analyzed and quantities of the food are estimated on the fly.
With Edamam's Food Database API you can use the native iOS or Android voice recognition for one click data entry. No more drop downs and search boxes are required.

- **Food database**
Edamam provides access to a food and grocery database with close to 900,000 basic foods, restaurant items and consumer packaged foods
The foods in the Food API can be filtered by Diet and health filters generated by Edamam. All food database data is enriched with diet, allergy and nutrition labeling, as calculated by Edamam based on the food's ingredients. Peanut Free, Shellfish Free, Gluten Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian are some of the 70+ claims generated automatically.
For basic foods from the food database (flour, eggs, flour etc.), Edamam returns data for calories, fats, carbohydrates, protein, cholesterol, sodium, etc. for a total of 28 nutrients. For UPC foods and fast foods data is return as listed on their nutrition label

The caching as described here does not allow API subscribers to build a copy of the Edamam data to be reused in any form or to build a food search. The API still provides full nutrient data which can be displayed on call without caching and customers can only cache the nutrients and data elements described above. Active subscription to an eligible plan is required as long as the data is used

- **UPC or Barcode search**
The Food Database API provides access to over 615,000 unique UPC codes.

- **Low-cost solution**

The FoodData Central API provides REST access to FoodData Central (FDC).

The **FoodData Central API** provides REST access to FoodData Central (FDC). It is intended primarily to assist application developers wishing to incorporate nutrient data into their applications or websites.

To take full advantage of the API, developers should familiarize themselves with the database by reading the database documentation available via links on Data Type Documentation. This documentation provides the detailed definitions and descriptions needed to understand the data elements referenced in the API documentation.

NOTE: The API that was available on the USDA Food Composition Databases Web site is no longer being updated and will be discontinued March 31, 2020. Users are encouraged to begin working with the new FoodData Central API system described on this page. This new API allows users to obtain Standard Reference (SR) Legacy data, provides the most current data from the USDA Global Branded Foods Database, and give users the ability to search for specific foods in Foundation Foods and the Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS) 2017-2018.

What's Available
The API provides two endpoints: the Food Search endpoint, which returns foods that match desired search criteria, and the Food Details endpoint, which returns details on a particular food.

**FoodData Central is an integrated data system that provides expanded nutrient profile data and links to related agricultural and experimental research.**

At this time, only a basic view of search results is available for viewing on mobile devices. Advanced filter features, such as searching by data type, are not yet mobile-enabled and are available only in desktop view. Users are encouraged to use a desktop computer to conduct food item searches

FoodData Central takes the analysis, compilation, and presentation of nutrient and food component data to a new level. FoodData Central:

- Can be used by, and has benefits for, a variety of users, including researchers, policy makers, academicians and educators, nutrition and health professionals, product developers, and others.
- Includes five distinct data types that provide information on food and nutrient profiles: Foundation Foods, Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies 2017-2018 (FNDDS 2017-2018), National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference Legacy Release (SR Legacy), USDA Global Branded Food Products Database (Branded Foods), and Experimental Foods. Each of these data types has a unique purpose and unique attributes.
- Links these distinct data types in one location, thus strengthening the ability of researchers, policy makers, and others to address vital issues related to food, nutrition, and diet-health interactions.
- Provides a broad snapshot in time of the nutrients and other components found in a wide variety of foods and food products..

**Trademark Search API**
Use  Trademark search API to search the US trademarks database (USPTO) based on a search string. The API allows search by serial number, trademark, owner, upcoming expiration date, and product/service description. Sign up to integrate trademark data into your application.

Our API (application programming interface) is a REST API that searches the US trademark database (USPTO) of wordmarks and returns a JSON-encoded result set of matching trademarks based on a search string.

Marker API V2 has 5 different API endpoints: Serial Number Search, Trademark Search, Description Search, Owner Search, and Expiration Search.

The Serial Number API endpoint returns one record per search and includes all registration data for the trademark.

The Trademark Search API endpoint allows for either exact match or wildcard searching using asterisks for wildcards. The trademark search can return trademarks of all statuses (pending, active, expired) or only active trademarks by setting "status" to "all" or "active".

The Description Search API endpoint searches the goods/services description and performs a wildcard search within the trademark descriptions. The description search can return trademarks of all statuses (pending, active, expired) or only active trademarks by setting "status" to "all" or "active".

The Owner Search API endpoint searches for trademarks registered by a certain person, group, or company.

The Expiration Search API endpoint searches for expiring trademarks within a given, future, time frame ("6 months", "1 year", etc).

All API endpoints implement paging for faster API responses with large result sets with 100 results per page. When a response has more results than what is returned the "next" key is set in the response. The next key is an integer that you should use as your "start" parameter in your next API call to see the next page. You should send all the same parameters (search, status, etc) but change the start parameter for each subsequent page request.

The data returned consists of:
- serial number
- trademark
- goods and services code
- description
- status code
- status
- status description
- owner and address
- filing date
- registration date

BlaBlaCar search API allows to search for carpool trips, just as the BlaBlaCar’s website does. 

### Easily search for trips!
The BlaBlaCar API provides functions for searching and retrieving carpool data. With the API, developers can implement a trip search that displays trips, distance, duration, recommended price, savings, and links. BlaBlaCar API returns JSON data and accepts Key as the authentication method. 

#### Get an API key
In order to access to BlaBlaCar's search API, you first need to ask for an API key [here](https://support.blablacar.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000312100).

#### Keep posted
From time to time, we will send planned maintenances, status and important evolutions on this [awesome mailing list](http://eepurl.com/cHubeL). Feel free to register if you want to stay informed.

#### How NOT to use the API?
- As a realtime platform, seats availability may change very often and there might be new trips offered anytime. For this reason, you shouldn't cache the results you retrieve from the API, or for a very small time (10 min max). Also, caching may bypass the "locale" parameter which would result into not the best relevant experience for the user.
- Every query should be triggered by a real user input.
- There is no bulk query so you need to make 1 query for each user's request.
