Live endpoints, real response envelopes, and a Try-it runner against the production dataset — the same calls powering this site.
Financial values without reviewed evidence are null. Brand responses include per-field sources, reporting periods, definitions, and populations in financials. Statutory FDD reports, underwriting PDFs, disclosure comparisons, and filing feeds are currently unavailable and return financial_evidence_unavailable without charging credits.
Getting started
The Franchisedata API serves programmatic franchise intelligence — brand profiles, geocoded store locations, parsed FDD financials, and a live news wire — across 500 tracked U.S. restaurant franchise systems.
Base URL: /api (this app proxies via /fd-api to the API host). All responses are JSON in an envelope: { status, message, data }.
Free tier
Brand catalog, brand profiles, and the news wire are free. Location and FDD endpoints are pay-per-call via prepaid credits or x402 micropayments.
