LCBO vs Foodish: common questions

Which is more reliable, LCBO or Foodish?

Only Foodish is on our probe schedule so far (—% uptime over 90 days). The other is catalogued but not yet live-checked, so we can't compare measured reliability head-to-head — check the uncovered API's own status page for now.

Do LCBO and Foodish need an API key?

Neither needs a paid key — LCBO is callable with no signup, and Foodish is callable with no signup. Both are quick to prototype with; rate limits still apply.

Can I call LCBO and Foodish from the browser?

Only Foodish is browser-friendly — it returns CORS headers over HTTPS. LCBO needs a server-side call or proxy, so factor that into which one fits a front-end project.

Are LCBO and Foodish free for commercial use?

LCBO has unclear commercial terms, and Foodish has unclear commercial terms. We track service terms and the data license as separate fields — see the Commercial use and Data license rows above, and confirm both before shipping either in a paid product.
