There are other API providers that offer similar features as FatSecret with comparable pricing. The distinction would be the people behind this product, the culture of the company, and the integrity of the team that makes the difference for us.

Our data and content team utilizes and relies on a number of sources to curate and update the databases of generic foods, branded and restaurant products and their associated servings and nutritional information. These include official local and national government publications and reference materials, manufacturer/brand submitted products via FatSecret Brand Tools, publicly available information and verified user contributed data.
Thousands of updates to datasets occur daily with our team utilizing systematic processes for reviewing and verifying information on a daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly basis with a view to keeping the databases as up to date, accurate and relevant as possible. No data is accessible through the API until it is reviewed and verified to ensure it satisfies high fidelity criteria which are applied on a continual basis to all items to maintain the accuracy of the data.
As part of FatSecret Platform API Premier, we work with many multinational organizations and as part of commercial arrangements provide professional Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with guaranteed uptime, minimum customer support response times as well as service level credits.
We also provide technical support via email, phone and video chat for all our Premier clients.

Yes, full 3-legged OAuth enables you to provide your application to users who are members of FatSecret (who are using one of our websites or our mobile app). This facility allows users to approve your application to act on their behalf without sharing their FatSecret account credentials with you. Essentially FatSecret members can consent to share their data with your application.
You can use this mechanism to attain a valid access token for a profile that is directly linked to a user account on FatSecret (instead of creating your own profiles for users), so you can build whatever applications and services you wish for existing FatSecret members.
We have worked with hundreds of corporate clients globally and Premier customers include Amazon, Fitbit, LifeScan, Medtronic, Nestlé, Samsung and Welldoc together with entities that trust and rely on us to deliver an unparalleled nutrition experience for their customers.
You can register for free here and start testing our API today. If you need access to any of our Premier features or non-US data sets, please get in touch with us.
Alternatively, you can try using any of our free FatSecret international websites or our free "Calorie Counter by FatSecret" mobile app available for Android and iOS.
