Chomp

About Chomp

Chomp is a food and nutrition database API providing access to over 1.2 million grocery products, branded foods, and raw ingredients, including barcode lookup, name search, and ingredient search endpoints. Data is normalized and audited daily. Applications built with the API include fitness trackers, AI meal planners, and grocery list tools, with commercial use permitted across all plans, though raw data cannot be repackaged or resold as a competing database or API.

The API offers three tiers: a free Limited plan restricted to barcode lookup on branded foods only, with per-request fees and required attribution; a Standard plan at $25/month with a 5-day free trial that unlocks all search endpoints, lower per-request fees, and 24-hour data caching; and a Premium plan at $299/month with a 5-day free trial offering access to all endpoints, no per-request fees, indefinite data storage, and priority support, billed instead through a tiered monthly active user (MAU) fee. MAU billing charges per unique user who accessed API data during the billing period, with progressive per-tier rates that decrease at higher volumes, and custom enterprise pricing is available for usage over 20 million users.

The service targets a 99.9% uptime SLA and aims to give at least 30 days notice for updates that substantially affect functionality. Support is provided via tickets on all plans, with priority and email support added on the Premium plan, and all plans are month-to-month with prorated refunds and cancellation available at any time.
