Edamam
Edamam sells three keyed REST APIs — Nutrition Analysis (NLP-based ingredient/recipe parsing into macros and allergen labels), Recipe Search (2M+ recipes with 30+ diet/health filters), and Food/Grocery Database (nearly 1M foods and 790,000 branded UPCs, with optional image recognition) — plus a free MCP server wrapping the Food API for AI agents. All three paid tiers start at $9–14/month with only a short trial period (10–30 days), not an ongoing free tier. A live Origin-header probe against api.edamam.com/api/nutrition-data returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin reflecting the request Origin (with credentials), resolving the stored 'unknown' cors to 'yes'.

- 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.
