This API no longer responds. Our last check on 2026-07-31 found no working endpoint — the service appears to have shut down or moved. The documentation, code samples and score below are kept for reference only; do not build against this API. See working Food & Drink APIs →

The Report of the Week API

Free to Use

Overview

The Report of the Week API provides structured data from the popular YouTube food and drink review series by ReviewBrah. It includes review titles, scores, products reviewed, and video links. No authentication is required, making it a fun, low-barrier API for beginners who want to build a fan site or practice data display.

Beginner Tip

The API returns all reviews in a single call with no pagination — filter the results in your own code using JavaScript array methods like .filter() and .find() rather than making repeated requests.

Available Data

The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.

recipe name and ingredients
nutritional values
calorie count
serving size
preparation time
Use case: Integrate food & drink reviews data into web and mobile applications

Example Response

Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

Large payload or slow page load The reviews endpoint returns all reviews at once with no pagination, which can be a large JSON array.
Fetch once, cache the result in memory or localStorage, and paginate or filter client-side rather than making repeated API calls.
Unexpected endpoint URL The API base URL is hosted separately from the GitHub repo linked in the directory and may differ from documentation examples.
Verify the current base URL in the official GitHub repository README before making requests.
Missing score for some reviews A small number of reviews do not have a numeric score if the episode was a comparison or special format.
Check for null or undefined score values before displaying or sorting by score in your UI.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
