Inquiry for Food Image Recognition API

[Milan Kyada]

We are building a calorie tracking application. During testing of the Image Recognition API, a sandwich image returned individual ingredients/components rather than a single dish name with nutrition.

Do you offer any API or configuration that returns:

• Dish/meal name (e.g. "Chicken Sandwich")
• Serving size
• Calories
• Macronutrients

as a single food item instead of decomposed ingredients?

If not, what is the recommended workflow for obtaining a consolidated meal name and nutrition from an uploaded food image?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reaching out.

Currently that is not supported i.e. we always try and break down the food item into its ingredient for most precise matching and nutrition analysis.

That said, we are working on having the meal/dish summary as an additional output field.

This will probably be available via the API in either Q3 or Q4.

Kind regards,
