Quick start
Three steps to your first verified menu: get a key, call the endpoint with a Google Place ID, check the grade before you trust the data.
1 · Get a key
The Developer tier is free and includes 500 lookups per month plus MCP server access. Email juan@culinayr.com to have a key issued.
2 · Call the API
curl "https://api.example/v1/menu?place_id=ChIJ…" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY"
3 · Read the grade
Every response carries menu_status, source_url, and verified_at. Branch on the grade rather than assuming every record is equally strong.
{ "menu_status": "verified", "verified_at": "2026-07-28T…", "source_url": "https://…" }
