The allergen API for independent restaurants.
One request returns a cited, dish-by-dish allergen record for any restaurant, including the independents that no other database covers.
POST https://api.allergytable.com/v1/check Authorization: Bearer sk_live_… { "restaurant": "Lilia", "location": "Brooklyn, NY" }
Query it live, license it in bulk, or direct where it grows.
Real-time API
Query a restaurant by name and location, get a structured allergen record back in one call. Results are cached, so repeat lookups are instant and free.
Request access →Bulk licensing
Take a scheduled export of the growing independent-restaurant allergen dataset and load it into your own stack. Refreshed as coverage expands.
Request access →Coverage on demand
Need a specific city or a named list of restaurants populated first? We direct the research engine to fill coverage where partners need it.
Request access →A record is structured, graded, and sourced.
Every dish is checked against the nine major allergens. Each hit carries how it was established and the page it came from. When a menu can’t be read, the record says so instead of guessing.

}Real output from the research engine. Field shape is stable; the endpoint opens to partners in the private beta.
Chains publish their allergens. Independents don’t.
Every nutrition dataset already ingests the national chains, because the chains hand that data out. For independent restaurants there is no structured allergen source to license anywhere. That gap is the product. We read the actual menu, grade each allergen, and cite it.
Already covered
Public matrices, ingested everywhere. No edge in reselling what a brand gives away.
Covered by no one else
Unstructured menus, seasonal changes, undocumented cross-contact. Generic food APIs guess from a lookalike dish. We read the real one and source it.
An allergen layer for anywhere people choose a restaurant.
Delivery + ordering
A real allergen read next to every indie listing, not just the chains.
Reservation + discovery
Let diners filter and book by what they can actually eat.
Allergy communities
Back recommendations with cited, per-dish data instead of anecdotes.
Health + clinical
Give patients a sourced answer for real restaurants near them.
