# Get Chipotle's menu presentation metadata

`GET /chipotle/menu/metadata`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/chipotle/menu/metadata`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

Returns Chipotle's menu presentation metadata -- the data no other Chipotle endpoint carries. Categories are the menu nav sections (Burrito, Bowl, Salad, ...) with their own description, imagery and the customization sections each offers. Items carry per-item nutrition (calories and portion) and dietary tag codes. Item sections and item groups describe the customization pick-groups and shared item aliases (e.g. cauliflower rice offered as both an entree side and a taco filling). Dietary tag groups are the full tag taxonomy (Plant Based, Lifestyle, I'm Avoiding, ...) that item dietary tag codes join against for a human-readable name and badge. Join on item_id against /chipotle/menu or /chipotle/restaurant/menu for prices; this endpoint has none.
