Overview

Fruityvice is a free, no-auth API that provides nutritional and botanical data for dozens of common fruits. You can look up a fruit by name and receive details like calories, carbohydrates, protein, and fat per 100 g. It is an ideal first API for beginners learning how to parse JSON responses.

💡

Beginner Tip

Start with a well-known fruit name like "banana" or "apple" — the name must match the database exactly (lowercase singular) or you will get a 404.

Available Data

Use case: Integrate data about all kinds of fruit data into web and mobile applications
Fruityvice data via REST API

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

404 Not Found The fruit name does not exist in the database or was spelled incorrectly.
✓ Use lowercase singular English names (e.g., "strawberry" not "Strawberries"). Retrieve the full list first with GET /api/fruit/all.
Unexpected response shape Calling /api/fruit/all returns an array, while /api/fruit/{name} returns a single object — mixing them up causes parse errors.
✓ Check whether you expect an array or an object and handle both shapes in your code.
CORS error in browser Fruityvice allows cross-origin requests but the server occasionally has downtime.
✓ Add error handling around your fetch() call and display a friendly message if the request fails.
