Culvers API endpoint
Returns the items in one Culver's menu category, each with name, description, image, and a link to Culver's nutrition guide. Category slugs come from GET /culvers/categories. Prices are not published on the national catalog -- Culver's only prices items once a specific restaurant is selected; see GET /culvers/item for full modifier/topping detail.
/culvers/menuNo price field. Every item's cost on the national catalog is always the literal 0, because national menu content is location-agnostic and items are only priced once a specific restaurant is selected, so this endpoint exposes catalog content without a price field rather than a misleading always-zero one. Use /culvers/item for full modifier/topping detail.
Response also carries the category's own metadata alongside its items — name, description, image_url and featured — so a caller rendering a category page does not need a second call to /culvers/categories just to label it.
Query parameters:
category (required) — category slug from /culvers/categories, e.g. butterburgers.An unknown category returns 404.
Response includes category, items[], count, source_url, and fetched_at. Each item has item_id, name, slug, description, image_url, nutrition_url, banner (a promotional badge such as "Limited Time Only", omitted when the item carries none), sort_order, and url.
