Welcome to the fatsecret Platform API Developer Forum.

The fatsecret Platform API facilitates the development of practical and innovative diet, nutrition and lifestyle applications.

This group is a place where you can find developers, post questions, share ideas, and post example projects for feedback. Be sure to peruse older topics/answers before posting as many of the nuances associated with the API have already been addressed.

Our Github repository can be found here: https://github.com/fatsecret-group

Our Postman repository is available here: https://www.postman.com/fatsecret

Thanks for taking the time to develop with the fatsecret Platform API. We welcome any feedback and suggestions.
