Hi there,

1st off thank you for the great API, I am just getting to grips with
the REST side of things at the moment but can already see great
potential with it.

I am just wondering if you have any plans to add the remaining
nutritional facts other than calories, fat, carbs & protein to the
returned food description in a food search?
Almost all of my potential customers I have questioned see them as
essential components with Dietary Fiber being the biggest omission
from your return list and a major reason for not purchasing it.

If they are already available using the REST API and I have just
missed them could you perhaps point me in the right direction please?

Thanks,

Ian

Hi Ian,

Thanks for your kind words.

The food.get API method does return values for fiber:

which you should be able to utilize.
