Fruityvice API

Beginner's Pick Food & Drink / No Auth Required Beginner HTTPS
Free to Use Varies (check documentation)

Overview

Fruityvice is a free, no-auth API that provides nutritional and botanical data for dozens of common fruits. You can look up a fruit by name and receive details like calories, carbohydrates, protein, and fat per 100 g. It is an ideal first API for beginners learning how to parse JSON responses.

Beginner Tip

Start with a well-known fruit name like "banana" or "apple" — the name must match the database exactly (lowercase singular) or you will get a 404.

Available Data

Use case: Integrate data about all kinds of fruit data into web and mobile applications

Example Response

JSON Response
{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "result": "Data from Fruityvice",

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

What Can You Build?

Note: These code examples are AI-generated and unverified. Always refer to the official API documentation for accurate usage.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

404 Not Found The fruit name does not exist in the database or was spelled incorrectly.
Use lowercase singular English names (e.g., "strawberry" not "Strawberries"). Retrieve the full list first with GET /api/fruit/all.
Unexpected response shape Calling /api/fruit/all returns an array, while /api/fruit/{name} returns a single object — mixing them up causes parse errors.
Check whether you expect an array or an object and handle both shapes in your code.
CORS error in browser Fruityvice allows cross-origin requests but the server occasionally has downtime.
Add error handling around your fetch() call and display a friendly message if the request fails.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
