from fatsecret import Fatsecret

CONSUMER_KEY = ""

CONSUMER_SECRET = ""

fs = Fatsecret(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET)

search_results = fs.foods.get_v5("Banana")

print(search_results)

i have this code with Premier Free Plan api keys, i have tried using get_v1,get_v2... or search_v1,search_v2..search_v5 but same error pops up..

Thanks, looks like you have mis-configured your OAuth2 signature requests

how to fix it? i found a way with out using from fatsecret import Fatsecret

look this out

import requests

from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1

CONSUMER_KEY = ""

CONSUMER_SECRET = ""

auth = OAuth1(CONSUMER_KEY, client_secret=CONSUMER_SECRET)

# 2. Set up the REST API URL and parameters

url = "https://platform.fatsecret.com/rest/server.api"

params = {

"method": "foods.search",

"search_expression": "dosa",

"format": "json"

}

response = requests.get(url, auth=auth, params=params)

if response.status_code == 200:

data = response.json()

if "error" in data:

print(f"FatSecret API Error {data['error']['code']}: {data['error']['message']}")

else:

foods_list = data.get("foods", {}).get("food", [])

if foods_list:

for i in foods_list:

print(i)

for j in range(5):

print()

else:

print("No foods found matching that description.")

else:

print(f"HTTP Request Failed with status code: {response.status_code}")

print(response.text)

this works but i prefer fatsecret module but idk how to use it..
