About Avocavo Nutrition API

I'm a developer who built this because I needed it myself.

I was working on a health app and spent weeks trying to integrate nutrition data. Every solution I found had the same problems:

  • Parsing nightmares: Raw USDA data dumps that required custom parsers for inconsistent formats
  • Glacial performance: APIs that took 2-3 seconds per ingredient, making real-time features impossible
  • Accuracy questions: Third-party databases with no clear source attribution or USDA verification
  • Pricing barriers: Either free-but-broken or enterprise-only with $500/month minimums

After burning a month on integrations that didn't work, I realized I needed to build the nutrition API I actually wanted to use.

Avocavo Nutrition API is what I wish existed when I started: lightning-fast responses, clean JSON structure, real USDA verification links, and pricing that doesn't punish you for prototyping.

We're always open to suggestions and innovations. If there's a feature that would make your development easier, let us know.

If you're building something that needs fast, accurate nutrition data, start for free and see if it works for you.
