Alcohol and Brewery APIs# Alcohol Brewery API
## About alcohol brewery APIs
Beer APIs, wine APIs, liquor APIs and the like provide everything from general data and information about beers and breweries to drink ratings and popularity estimates, information which goes on to power RateBeer and other sites.
## What is an alcohol brewery API?
Brewery APIs, along with wine and liquor APIs, are usually datasets with crowdsourced input that provide useful information on subjects related to alcohol and brewing.
## How do they work?
Most of these APIs are essentially compendiums that operate like wikis, meaning that they allow anyone to add the names of new beers and breweries that are not already registered or to contribute information to existing entries.
## Who are they for?
Beer, liquor and wine APIs are for anyone with a website, app or business idea that is related to the alcohol industries.
## Why are alcohol brewery APIs important?
These APIs can help ease the process of developing an alcohol-related app or website or of accumulating relevant data.
## What you can expect from alcohol brewery APIs?
You can expect to access information on breweries, cideries, brewpubs, bottleshops, distribution and nutrition. Some of these APIs are writable APIs, which means you can integrate them into your own site or app. Others you can access solely in sandbox environments, which are designed so that you can use them to test the API.
## Are there examples of free brewery APIs?
Open Brewery DB is a free alcohol brewery API that is committed to maintaining a community-generated dataset. The Beer Mapping API allows you to find the exact location, phone number, address and ratings for breweries and other beer venues. In terms of liquor APIs, TheCocktailDB is perhaps the best-known API. Access is to its basic tier is free.

Global Wine Score is designed as a REST API for multiple clients: you can use it for your web app on computers as well as any mobile devices. A client is a program that will consume our API, that will use its endpoints and returned data. You can do pretty much anything our web client can. This will be most useful to integrate Global Wine Score capabilities into your own website, with your own layout and your own way of managing rights. Search for a wine by name. The API returns 1 unique score for that specific wine.
