Food Hygiene Rating API — common questions
Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.
Is Food Hygiene Rating API free to use?
Food Hygiene Rating API is listed in our free catalogue, but it requires some form of authentication, so you will need to register before your first call. Providers frequently reserve higher limits and commercial use for paid plans.
Does Food Hygiene Rating API need an API key?
Food Hygiene Rating API requires some form of authentication. Check the provider's documentation for which scheme it expects.
Can I call Food Hygiene Rating API from browser JavaScript?
Not directly. Food Hygiene Rating API did not return CORS headers when we checked, so the browser will block your page from reading the response even though the request itself succeeds. Call it from a server, or put a small proxy in front of it.
Is Food Hygiene Rating API still working?
Not at our last check on 2026-09-18. Food Hygiene Rating API did not respond successfully, which is why it is marked as down here. This may be temporary; we re-check on a schedule and the badge above reflects the most recent run.
Is Food Hygiene Rating API available over HTTPS?
Yes. Food Hygiene Rating API serves over HTTPS, so you can call it from a secure page without triggering a mixed-content block.
