Zestful
Zestful parses free-text recipe ingredient lines into structured quantity, unit, and food fields for apps that need to normalize user-submitted or scraped ingredient text, with a limited free daily quota plus pay-per-parse and enterprise tiers. A live GET against the real gateway, zestful.p.rapidapi.com (the standalone API's replacement, now RapidAPI-only), returned a genuine 401 'Invalid API key' JSON error while carrying an echoed Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, reconfirming both cors yes and API Key auth in the same probe.
GreatAPIs Score
Auth quickstart
- Get a key at the provider
- 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.
