Purdue HFS Dining Menus API
A public, keyless HTTP API operated by Purdue University Housing and Food Services at api.hfs.purdue.edu, serving dining-court locations, published daily menus by location and date, and per-item nutrition and allergen data. The host is Purdue's own web infrastructure (CNAME wpvwebasp03-01.www.purdue.edu, 128.210.7.106) and the service identifies itself as Purdue.Hfs.Menus.Domain in its own error stack traces, so this is Purdue software on Purdue servers rather than a vendor platform behind a Purdue hostname. HFS publishes no documentation, no OpenAPI, no terms of use and no rate limit; the contract in this repository was written from live probes and is marked generated accordingly.
