FatSecret Platform API Documentation
Foods: Search
Description
Conducts a search of the food database using the search expression specified. The results are paginated according to a zero-based "page" offset. Successive pages of results may be retrieved by specifying a starting page offset value. For instance, specifying a max_results of 10 and page_number of 4 will return results numbered 41-50.
Returns detailed nutritional information for the specified food. Use this call to display nutrition values for a food to users.
An interactive demonstration of our Food Search API can be accessed here
Why are we introducing version 3?
We are introducing version 3 to correspond to an update for the food.get.v4 which includes images for generic foods and allergen / dietary preference information.
Allergens, dietary preferences and images have separate access to our normal premier offerings. Please contact us here for enquiries on access to this data.
