Edamam nutrition
Edamam's Nutrition Analysis API parses a free-text ingredient line and returns calories, macro/micronutrients, and diet and health labels for that food or recipe, aimed at meal-tracking apps. A live GET against the real gateway, api.edamam.com, returned a genuine 401 'Unauthorized app_id' JSON error while carrying an echoed Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, resolving cors unknown -> yes and reconfirming API Key auth (an app ID and key pair) in the same probe.

- Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
- Send it on every request as a header
Authorization: <key> - The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
