fatsecret Platform API Documentation

Localization

Localization is a premium feature only made available to select accounts for specific languages and regions. Accounts with access to this feature are able to nominate locale information when executing particular REST API methods.

Responses for these methods are localized by specifying an additional parameter named region. While each region has a default language, unique combinations of region and language can be achieved by adding a further parameter named language.

Thus the options for localizing responses are as follows:

  1. Specify neither region nor language:
    The response will default to the "US" (United States) region and "en" (English) language.
  2. Specify the region only:
    The response will be in the nominated region, using the region's default language.
    For instance, if the region "NL" (Netherlands) is specified, the language will default to "nl" (Dutch).
  3. Specify both the region and language:
    The response will be in the nominated region and the nominated language.
Parameters

Note: The language parameter is ignored unless region is also specified.
