Hi everyone,
I’m integrating the FatSecret Platform API and running into an issue when calling the /foods.get endpoint using a valid food_id. The response is successful (HTTP 200), but the returned object is empty — no nutritional values or description included.
What I’ve checked:✅ The food_id is valid and exists in the search result from /foods.search
✅ OAuth 1.0 signing is correct (other endpoints work fine)
✅ Using the correct app credentials and sandbox is disabled
This happens intermittently — sometimes the same food_id returns data, other times it’s blank. I even tested it while casually checking out menu marugame udon for a calorie estimate, and it gave me nothing back 😅
Has anyone experienced similar inconsistencies with this endpoint?
Is there a known limit, cache issue, or fallback condition I should be aware of?
Appreciate any guidance — happy to share headers or full request payload if needed.
Thanks!
