# Vivino API

> Vivino returns wine ratings, prices, and recommendations through a workflow and API.

Vivino, also called the Vivino wine app, finds wines by name and optionally vintage, returning ratings, origin, photos, and prices when shown. List recommended wines returns top-rated bottles by required wine type, with optional grape, country, budget, and minimum rating filters.

## Quick start

Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with a Fous API key. To create one, open Developers at the bottom of Fous Studio, turn on Developer mode, then go to API keys (https://app.fous.com/keys). Change the values in `input` to run the same tool on new data.

```bash
