Basic BMI Calculator API

The Basic BMI Calculator API is a powerful and easy-to-use tool designed to calculate an individual's Body Mass Index based on their height and weight.

About the API:  


Developed to facilitate health and fitness applications, this API provides a straightforward and efficient way to obtain crucial health metrics, making it an invaluable asset for developers and healthcare professionals alike.

The primary function of the Basic BMI Calculator API is to calculate a person's Body Mass Index. BMI is a widely used metric to assess whether an individual is within a healthy weight range for their height. To use the API, developers can submit requests with height and weight data in metric units (kilograms and meters). The API then processes the data and returns the BMI value, along with an indication of the corresponding weight category (e.g., underweight, normal, overweight, or obese).

The API is designed with simplicity and ease of integration in mind. Developers can seamlessly incorporate it into their web or mobile applications, fitness trackers or electronic health record systems.

The Basic BMI Calculator API is designed to ensure accuracy and reliability. The underlying algorithm is based on the standard BMI formula: BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m) * height (m)).

The Basic BMI Calculator API is hosted on a scalable and robust infrastructure, allowing it to handle a large number of requests efficiently. With minimal downtime and high availability, the API ensures uninterrupted service for users and applications, making it the ideal choice for critical, high-traffic healthcare platforms.

The API is accompanied by comprehensive documentation that provides detailed instructions on how to implement and use its functions effectively. In addition, developers can access technical support, which ensures a smooth integration process and resolves any queries promptly.

In conclusion, the Basic BMI Calculator API is a versatile and valuable tool for developers and healthcare professionals looking to integrate BMI calculations seamlessly into their applications. With its accuracy, security and customization options, this API is a critical component in promoting health awareness and helping people make informed decisions about their weight and overall wellness.

Zyla provides a wide range of integration methods for almost all programming languages. You can use these codes to integrate with your project as you need.

To use this API the user must indicate a height and weight.

The Basic BMI Calculator API is a powerful and easy-to-use tool designed to calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI) of an individual based on their height and weight.

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.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

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.

To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, look at the β€˜X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this header will show 900.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.

The β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.

You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]

To let you experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make API calls at no cost during this period. Please note that you can only use this trial once, so make sure to use it with the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs provide a free trial, but some may not support it.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.

When you subscribe to an API trial, you can make only 25% of the calls allowed by that plan. For example, if the API plan offers 1000 calls, you can make only 250 during the trial. To access the full number of calls offered by the plan, you will need to subscribe to the full plan.
