Makeup vs Foodish: common questions

Which is more reliable, Makeup 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 Makeup and Foodish need an API key?

Neither needs a paid key — Makeup 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 Makeup and Foodish from the browser?

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

Are Makeup and Foodish free for commercial use?

Makeup 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.
