Culvers API endpoint
Returns the full published schedule for one Culver's restaurant: the flavor of the day for every upcoming calendar date, plus the soups served on each date. Culver's publishes roughly a two-month forward window, and the schedule is genuinely per-restaurant -- two restaurants on the same date routinely feature different soups. slug comes from GET /culvers/directory. GET /culvers/store returns only today's and tomorrow's flavor; use this endpoint for the whole calendar.
/culvers/calendarQuery parameters:
slug (required) — restaurant slug from /culvers/directory, e.g. waunakee.A slug that is not a restaurant page returns 404.
Response includes restaurant_id, name, slug, start_date, end_date, flavors[], soups[], flavor_count, soup_count, source_url, and fetched_at.
start_date and end_date (both YYYY-MM-DD) bound the window actually published for this restaurant, computed across both schedules. They are omitted when the restaurant publishes no calendar; in that case flavors and soups are empty arrays rather than null.
flavors[] carries one entry per date, each with menu_item_id, name, slug, date (YYYY-MM-DD), description, and image_url.
soups[] carries one entry per soup per date, so dates repeat — a restaurant typically serves two to four soups a day. Each entry has menu_item_id, name, slug, date, description, and image_url.
flavor_count and soup_count are entry counts, not distinct-day counts.

| Field | Type | Required | Enum | Bounds | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| code | integer | No | Code is the HTTP status code or a custom code used to indicate the result of the request @example 200 | |||

| data.end_date | string | No | 2026-10-31 | |||
| data.fetched_at | string | No | ||||
| data.flavor_count | integer | No | 61 | FlavorCount and SoupCount are the entry counts, not distinct-day counts -- several soups share one date. | ||
| data.flavors | array | No | ||||

| data.flavors[].image_url | string | No | ||||
| data.flavors[].menu_item_id | integer | No | 69 | MenuItemID matches the flavor's menu item. Culver's also publishes a separate `flavorId` on each calendar entry, but it is redundant -- across 214 entries sampled from 4 restaurants it was identical to menuItemId every time (2026-09-05) -- so it is not surfaced, keeping this DTO's id field consistent with CalendarSoup's. | ||
