Introduction
Chronon is a set of free utility APIs built, hosted and maintained by Webrizen AI Labs. There's no paid plan and nothing to buy. All you need is a Webrizen account and an API key.
What's here
| API | Status | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Regional menus | Live | Dishes and regions with course, diet, spice level and ingredients |
| Structured data feeds | Planned | Clean, versioned datasets behind one consistent API |
| Automation tools | Planned | Small utilities you'd otherwise host yourself |
Why keys, if it's free?
Chronon runs on Webrizen's own servers. A key tells us which account a request belongs to, so we can give every developer a fair share and stop one misconfigured script from taking the service down for everyone else. Keys are never used for billing. See Limits & fair use.
How it fits together
- You sign in to the dashboard with Webrizen SSO, the same account used across Webrizen products.
- You create an API key (up to five, one per project is a good habit).
- You call
https://chronon.webrizen.com/v1/…with the key in theAuthorizationheader.
Every response is JSON, every error has the same shape, and every endpoint lives under /v1. When something
changes incompatibly it will ship as /v2, and /v1 keeps working.
Open source
The whole service, including the datasets, is MIT-licensed. Found a wrong dish or want a new region? See Contributing.
