Frequently Asked Questions

What are the caching rights for each plan?

To ensure you're always serving the freshest data, our caching rules vary by plan. Limited plan users fetch real-time data on every request. Standard users can cache data for up to 24 hours to improve app performance. Premium users enjoy full caching rights with no time limits.

Can I keep user history if I cancel my subscription?

Yes. Upon termination, you must delete any cached database results or raw data libraries. However, you are not required to delete user-generated records (e.g., a meal log or diet history) that contain values sourced from our API, as that data belongs to your user's history.

What kind of applications can I build with this data?

Whether you're building a fitness tracker, an AI meal planner, or a smart grocery list, our API is designed to power your vision. Commercial use is fully permitted across all plans. The only restriction is that you cannot repackage or resell our raw data as a competing database or API.

How should I attribute Chomp in my application?

We're flexible, but our requirements vary by plan. Attribution is required for our Limited plan, requested for Standard to support our data efforts, and optional for Premium users. Check out our Attribution Guidelines for quick integration snippets regardless of your plan.

What is your uptime guarantee and update policy?

We target a 99.9% uptime as outlined in our SLA. For API updates that substantially affect functionality, we aim to provide at least 30 days notice whenever possible to ensure production continuity.

Can I opt-out of being listed as a customer?

Yes. While we reserve the right to mention our licensees, we respect pre-launch and stealth-mode statuses. If you prefer to remain off our public "Used by" list, simply let us know and we will ensure your logo is not used without your consent.

Am I allowed to log API performance?

Absolutely! You are welcome to log and monitor latency, status codes, and other metrics to maintain the health of your application. We only ask that you refrain from publishing competitive benchmarks publicly without our consent.
