Steps
Authenticate with Basic Auth using your base64-encoded email:token as described in the UTFB API's Authentication section, prefixing all calls with /api/v1.
Use the current-user endpoint (GET /api/v1/current_user) to confirm your token is valid before building menu logic.
Use the documented Menus endpoints to list all menus, create a menu, retrieve a specific menu, and update a menu's contents/positions for a location.
Use the Publish/Unpublish endpoints to control whether a given menu (or all menus for a location) is live and visible to the public embed or app.
Pair menu publishing with the Menu Announcements endpoints if you also need to push time-boxed announcements alongside a menu.
After publishing, verify visibility by checking the menu-view analytics/insights endpoints to confirm traffic is flowing to the new menu.
Known gotchas
This is a Premium-only API — confirm the account tier before building an integration around it.
A read-only token cannot create, update, publish, or delete menus; menu-management calls require a read & write token, which should only ever live in backend code, not a public web page.
Location ID (used to scope menu calls) is not the same as your public-facing Venue ID on Untappd — get it from Settings & Integrations > Location Settings, not from the app.
