No long-term commitment. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime. Free Trial includes up to 50 requests.
The Food Data API returns comprehensive nutritional information for food items, including calorie counts, macronutrients (fat, protein, carbohydrates), vitamins, minerals, and serving sizes. The data is structured in JSON format for easy integration.
Key fields in the response include food description, energy (kcal), protein (g), carbohydrates (g), sugars (g), fiber (g), fat (g), and various vitamins and minerals. Each food item is uniquely identified by a food code.
The response data is organized in a JSON structure with a "total" count of results and an array of "result" objects. Each object contains detailed nutritional information for a specific food item, making it easy to parse and utilize.
The API provides detailed nutritional information, including macronutrient values, vitamin and mineral content, serving sizes, and food descriptions. This data helps users analyze and understand their dietary choices.
The data is sourced from reputable nutritional databases and food composition tables. Regular updates and quality checks ensure the accuracy and reliability of the nutritional information provided.
Users can customize their requests by using the "nutrientSearch" parameter to specify the food item they want to retrieve information about. This allows for targeted searches based on specific dietary needs or interests.
Typical use cases include tracking nutritional intake in fitness apps, creating personalized meal plans by dietitians, providing nutritional information in restaurants, and educating users about healthy eating through recipe websites.
Users can utilize the returned data to track daily nutrient intake, compare food items, create meal plans, and make informed dietary choices. The detailed breakdown of nutrients helps in understanding the nutritional value of foods.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
