What the API returns

Bacterial Relationships

For each food, know which microorganisms it promotes, contains, or inhibits — with a numeric score indicating strength of the relationship.

Taxonomic Family

Every microbiota entry includes its bacterial family (e.g. Bifidobacteriaceae, Lactobacillaceae), useful for grouping and filtering.

Substrate Processing

The specific substrates each organism digests — fibers, sugars, amino acids — so you understand downstream metabolic activity.

Simple, RESTful

Two endpoints. A single food by name, or a batch of up to 50. Authenticate with an API key in the request header.

GET/api/microbiota?food=chickpeas
