The Live Tap Lists Custom API gives you your live menu as JSON, so you can build it into anything: your own app, website, kiosk, or signage.

How does the Custom API work?

Activate Custom API on your Integrations page, add a connected menu, and choose which categories and fields it includes. Then request your menu by its code:

GET https://connect.livetaplists.com/menu?code=YOUR_MENU_CODE

The response lists your chosen categories, each with its active items and the fields you selected. Inactive items are left out, and lastUpdated tells you when the menu last changed.

What does a response look like?

An example response, with illustrative values:

{
  "code": "ABC",
  "name": "Taproom",
  "lastUpdated": "2026-10-11T18:04:00.000Z",
  "categories": [
    {
      "name": "Beer",
      "items": [
        { "title": "Hazy IPA", "abv": "6.5%", "ibu": "40", "sizes": [ { "size": "16oz", "price": "7" } ] }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Why use the API?

Your menu already lives in Live Tap Lists, often synced from your POS. The API means your custom app or display uses the same menu as your TVs, print menus, website, and QR menus, with nothing to keep in sync by hand.
