Overview

The US Obesity Rates API specializes in delivering comprehensive data on obesity rates by state, focusing on the year 2025 and historical trends. It processes data fields such as state names, obesity rates, and confidence intervals, allowing users to retrieve precise statistics regarding obesity prevalence across different demographics. The API utilizes standard JSON format for data exchange, ensuring compatibility with various applications. Key terminology includes 'obesity rate', defined as the percentage of the population classified as obese based on BMI (Body Mass Index) criteria. The API also adheres to statistical standards for confidence intervals, providing users with a range of expected values for each state's obesity rate. Technical requirements include a stable internet connection and adherence to API rate limits to ensure optimal performance. The output format is structured in a JSON schema that includes state identifiers, corresponding obesity rates, and their respective confidence intervals, facilitating easy integration into health analytics platforms.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
