The Trustwell Genesis Foods API provides a powerful way to access food data, perform analyses, query standard entities, and create new ingredients or recipes. Built on GraphQL, the API allows you to define precisely what data you need and retrieve it efficiently. This guide will walk you through how to authenticate and start making queries and mutations using the API.
