What does a sales figure actually cover?
Wendy's · Fiscal year 2025 ended December 28, 2025
Company-reported results in an SEC earnings-release exhibit; not an independent audit, corporate revenue, or franchisee profit. Historical full-year figure, not current sales.

Do I need an account to browse?
No. The directory, rankings, brand profiles, and the disclosure wire are open. An API key is only needed for programmatic or per-call data access.
Can I use the API without a crypto wallet?
Free catalog endpoints need no wallet. Existing prepaid API keys use a normal Bearer header. New credit purchases and x402 settlement are currently unavailable.
What happens when my credits run out?
Paid endpoints return a structured 402 response with the price and accepted payment requirements. The request is not served or charged. New purchases remain unavailable until verified settlement is enabled.
Is there an MCP server for agents?
Yes — /api/mcp exposes the same endpoints as agent tools, so Claude, Codex, and other MCP clients can query the catalog directly.
