Steps
Confirm your account is on the Untappd for Business Premium tier, since API access is documented as a Premium-only feature.
Generate an API token from the Untappd for Business dashboard, per the setup steps in the official docs at docs.business.untappd.com.
Use a read-only token for any frontend-facing use (e.g., a custom embedded menu on your public website), since exposing a read/write token client-side would let anyone modify your menus.
Reserve read/write tokens for server-side/backend integrations only, such as syncing menus from a POS or tap-management system into Untappd.
Store tokens securely and rotate them if you suspect exposure, since a leaked read/write token could allow menu or tap data to be altered.
Known gotchas
API access is gated behind the Premium tier of Untappd for Business — a standard account will not have API access regardless of correct request formatting.
Using a read/write token in any client-side/browser code is a security mistake specific to this API — the docs explicitly call out read-only tokens for frontend use for this reason.
