fatsecret Platform API
by fatsecret HTTP API in Cooking, recipes & meal planning
fatsecret.com since 2006 · who's behind it
The fatsecret Platform API is a REST API over fatsecret's verified food and nutrition database, with food search, barcode lookup, recipes, image recognition and natural-language food logging, plus per-user food, exercise and weight diaries, under OAuth 2.0 and OAuth 1.0.
Best for Agents logging foods and reading serving-level nutrients, allergens and barcodes for a person, with diaries written back; strongest outside the US on Premier with 62 regional datasets.
Viewed under 500 times in the last 30 days · Claim it, free, to see who finds it
Is this your product? Claim it to see how agents find it: lookups through the API, MCP and letme, the comparisons it's in, and what people search for in Cooking. Free, and it never changes the grade. Or verify it, or log in if it's already claimed.
Assessment. OAuth 2.0 client credentials with feature scopes, IP-restricted tokens, a free 5,000-call day with no card, and per-serving nutrients with allergen flags on branded and generic foods. The newest search and image methods need the sales-priced Premier edition, there is no status page, OpenAPI file or official SDK, and the privacy policy and blog could not be read.

No account was made and no call was sent
- Methods
- Foods (search v1 and v5, get by id v5, autocomplete v2, barcode v2, image recognition v2, natural language v1, feedback v1, brands, categories and sub-categories v2, create v2), recipes (search v3, get v2, types v2), and profile methods for foods, recipes, saved meals, authentication, food diary, exercise diary and weight diary
- Editions
- Basic (free, self sign-up, 5,000 calls a day, US data, English, attribution required), Premier Free (free with verification for start-ups under US$1M revenue and raised, non-profits and students, no daily cap), Premier (on request, 62 regional datasets, 26 languages, white label, month-by-month SLA with service credits, email, phone, Slack and video support)
- Add-ons
- Image recognition and natural language processing, billed monthly by usage in tiers of 25,000 inputs, with a 50 per cent discount on Premier Free. The platform page says a 14-day trial of image recognition can be started from the dashboard
- Rate limits
- 5,000 calls a day on Basic per the terms and editions page; Premier unlimited without throttling per the platform page. Error code 11 for the application limit and 12 for a user's actions. No per-second figure, 429 or Retry-After documented
- Localisation
- 212 region codes and 26 language codes;
languageis ignored unlessregionis set; a premium feature for select accounts - Data licence
- Content not marked storable indefinitely must be removed or re-requested within 24 hours; foods.search v5 marks only food_id and serving_id as storable. Attribution with the web badge or snippet wherever content is shown, in app store listings and on the app's website, except on white-label Premier. fatsecret may crawl and monitor applications
- SDKs
- None official. An official Postman collection and walkthrough (fatsecret-group/postman-fatsecret-apis, last push 1 July 2025). Community libraries pyfatsecret (Python), fatsecret-laravel (PHP) and FatSecretSwift (Swift, proof of concept)
- Legal entity
- Not established. The terms name 'Fatsecret.com (fatsecret)' under the law of Victoria, Australia; the about page says fatsecret was founded in 2006 and names its CEO, CTO and VP Business Development; www.fatsecret.com/about-us answered 403
Facts verified 3 November 2026 from vendor docs, repositories and package registries. JSON · Markdown
Strengths
- OAuth 2.0 client credentials with seven scopes, 24-hour tokens and token requests limited to registered IP addresses
- Basic edition free on self sign-up with 5,000 calls a day and no card
- Serving-level nutrients with allergen and preference flags, barcode lookup and 212 region codes in 26 languages on Premier
- Numeric error codes with messages documented centrally and per method, with JSON or XML responses
- Per-user food, exercise and weight diaries can be written through profiles, so a plan can reach a person's log
Weaknesses
- Natural language, image recognition, autocomplete, barcode scanning and foods.search v5 are Premier Exclusive, priced on request by market
- No status page, SLA figures outside Premier, OpenAPI document, llms.txt, changelog or official SDK found
- No HTTP 429 or Retry-After documented; limits surface as error codes 11 and 12 in the body
- Content not marked storable must be removed or re-requested within 24 hours, and attribution is required wherever it is shown on Basic and Premier Free
- The privacy policy on foods.fatsecret.com and the blog's release notes could not be read, and the terms name no legal entity or date
Before you call it notes for agents
- Request a token with
grant_type=client_credentialsand only the scopes the task needs; a token request from an IP not registered on the key fails, so run from a fixed address - Use
foods.searchv1 on Basic, since v5, autocomplete, barcode and image methods answer with a scope error without Premier - Pass
format=jsonand keepmax_resultsat or below 50 with a zero-basedpage_number; treat error code 11 or 12 in the body as the rate limit, since no 429 is documented - Store only food_id and serving_id between sessions and re-request other values within 24 hours, as the terms require
- Use a delegated profile token for diary writes and keep the profile's oauth_token and oauth_secret, since fatsecret does not return them again

The document · read 2026-11-03 · 3,006 words
A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.
The Platform API terms name the provider only as Fatsecret.com, under the law of the State of Victoria, Australia, with no effective date. They forbid robots, spiders or other automated applications retrieving or indexing API content except as the documentation allows, and say fatsecret may crawl or monitor applications; no clause addresses automated reading of the website.
platform.fatsecret.com/robots.txt disallows /rest* for all crawlers, which is the API itself, and nothing was fetched under it. foods.fatsecret.com/robots.txt disallows the whole site for ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai and other named crawlers, so the privacy policy there was not read. blog.fatsecret.com/robots.txt answered 403, so the blog's release notes were not read. www.fatsecret.com has no robots.txt (404) and its about-us page answered 403.
No status page or changelog found. platform.fatsecret.com/.well-known/security.txt answered the site's generic error page with a request id, so security.txt is unknown. No llms.txt (302 to another page).
RDAP gives fatsecret.com a registration date of 7 April 2006, the year the about page gives for the company's founding.
Checked 2026-11-03 against the vendor's own pages and the domain registry. Provenance is half of Transparency & trust.

Researched 3 November 2026 from public pages. The Platform API about page, read 3 November 2026, says fatsecret was founded in 2006 and lists Lenny Moses (Chief Executive Officer), Sebastian Loch (VP Business Development) and Ran Dulberg (Chief Technology Officer) with LinkedIn links. It names no founders, so the founder flag is left off; search results calling Lenny Moses a co-founder are third-party profiles and not used. www.fatsecret.com/about-us answered 403 and foods.fatsecret.com disallows our reader, so no legal entity, headquarters or founding roster was read. The LinkedIn company link on the about page is the au. regional form of linkedin.com/company/fatsecret. Investors were looked for on the about, platform-api, editions and terms pages and in a search; no first-hand page mentions funding or owners, and the aggregator profiles that came up are not used.

- Per-user data (favourites, saved meals, food, exercise and weight diaries) is reached through profiles created by the developer or linked to fatsecret.com accounts, with OAuth 1.0 delegated requests source
- The terms set the rate limit at 5,000 calls a day, require content not marked storable to be removed or re-requested within 24 hours, require attribution in every place content is shown, forbid robots or spiders retrieving content except as the documentation allows, and let fatsecret change or discontinue the API at any time; they name the provider as Fatsecret.com under the law of Victoria, Australia, with no date source
- foods.search.v5 returns pages of up to 50 results with serving-level nutrients, allergen and preference flags, and says the only storable values are food_id and serving_id source
- Error codes are numeric with a message, 11 for the application request limit and 12 for too many user actions; no HTTP 429 or Retry-After is documented source
- No official SDK; an official Postman collection and three community libraries (Python, PHP, Swift) are listed, the Swift one marked proof of concept source

Score breakdown methodology v0.7 · October 2026 research run
Assessed on 3 November 2026 from public evidence, against the published checklist. Confidence medium. Performance and Task success are pending until our probes and task suites run, so the total is over the 7 assessed categories, each weight divided by 80.
| Category | Weight this run | Score | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reliabilitychecked 3 November 2026 | 16%20 | 7.0 | |
| Read with the hosted lines. No status page was found on the platform site, the guides, the editions page or the about page (0), so there is no incident history to read (5). The limit is published with a number, 5,000 calls a day on Basic in the terms and on the editions page, and Premier is unlimited (15). Limits surface as error codes 11 and 12 in the body; no HTTP 429, Retry-After or backoff guidance was found, and diary writes have no idempotency key (5 of 15). Premier carries a month-by-month SLA with service credits, named on the editions page without figures, and every edition claims more than 99.9 per cent uptime (5 of 10). The API is generally available, with versioned methods (10). 0 + 5 + 15 + 5 + 5 + 10 = 35. | |||

No OpenAPI or similar document was found; the official Postman collection is the only machine-readable contract (8 of 25). No llms.txt (a redirect) and no Markdown docs (0 of 10). Each method page states purpose, parameters, response fields and Premier status, with little on when not to use a method (12 of 20). Parameters are typed with defaults and allowed values, max_results is capped at 50, but the field tables mistype allergen names as Long and leave food_images out of the food-level fields (11 of 15). Example responses in XML and JSON on each method, a central error code list with the body shape, and per-method error codes (13 of 15). Methods carry versions (v1 to v5) and older versions stay documented, but no changelog is on the platform site and the blog's 'What's new' could not be read (8 of 15). 8 + 0 + 12 + 11 + 13 + 8 = 52. | |||

max_results up to 50 (default 20), format=json, and include_* switches add sub-categories, images and attributes only when asked, but there is no field selection and each food carries every serving (15 of 25). Zero-based page_number, food_type generic or brand, region and language filters (18 of 20). Numeric error codes with messages, for OAuth, parameters and application errors, but limit errors come as codes 11 and 12 with no HTTP status or retry hint (13 of 20). Food and recipe methods are reads and safe to repeat; diary and saved-meal writes have no idempotency key (10 of 20). No parameter is required on foods.search, but there is no official SDK in any language (8 of 15). 15 + 18 + 13 + 10 + 8 = 64. | |||
| Security & authchecked 3 November 2026 | 14%17.5 | 8.9 | |
OAuth 2.0 client credentials with seven scopes gating capabilities (basic, premier, barcode, localization, nlp, image-recognition and feedback), tokens of 86,400 seconds, a Client Secret that stays on the server, and token requests limited to IP addresses or CIDR ranges registered on the key; OAuth 1.0 with HMAC-SHA1 remains for delegated calls. The scopes gate capabilities rather than read or write, and no rotation procedure was found (26 of 30). Per-user data is reached only through a delegated profile token, and the shared data methods are reads, but there is no read-only scope and no confirmation step for diary writes (14 of 20). Food and brand names are verified by fatsecret and recipes are its own content, with no guidance on treating them as untrusted (8 of 15). No request log or per-call visibility was found beyond the dashboard (3 of 15). The security.txt path answered the site's generic error page, and no disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification was found (0 of 20). 26 + 14 + 8 + 3 + 0 = 51. | |||

Basic is free and Premier is priced on request by market, with add-ons billed in tiers of 25,000 inputs and no price given, so the paid prices are contact sales (5 of 20). Basic is free on self sign-up with no card, and the platform page says Premier needs no upfront payment or card (20 of 20).

Graded 42 E methodology v0.7
Fix list 20 items, the biggest gain first
Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on fatsecret Platform API. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.
You're lucky. As part of the beta, your first month is free.
What we couldn't check
- unchecked: the privacy policy at foods.fatsecret.com, whose robots.txt disallows ClaudeBot and anthropic-ai, and the blog's 'What's new' release notes, whose robots.txt answered 403. Transparency and maintenance score them as absent.
- unchecked: www.fatsecret.com/about-us (403), so the legal entity, headquarters and founders are not established; the terms name Fatsecret.com under the law of Victoria, Australia.
- firstReleased is 7 April 2006, the domain's registration date, which matches the founding year on the about page; no first-hand page dates the Platform API's launch. lastRelease is empty for want of a dated API change.
- The security.txt path answered the site's generic error page ('An error occurred while processing your request') rather than 404, so securityTxt is unknown.
- The platform page says fatsecret supplies data exports and API capabilities 'to help LLM providers train their latest models'; recorded as a vendor statement.
- The official MCP registry lists two third-party fatsecret servers (io.github.fliptheweb/fatsecret-mcp 0.0.10 and io.github.jaronskijakub/fatsecret-mcp 0.3.0, both updated in late October or November 2026) and nothing from the vendor.
- unchecked: the developer forum's activity and reply times, which were not read.

Pricing & changes
Freemium Freemium Basic is free on self sign-up with 5,000 calls a day, US data, English and attribution required. Premier Free (start-ups under US$1M revenue and raised, non-profits, students) needs verification and removes the daily cap. Premier is priced on request by market, with 62 regional datasets, 26 languages, white label and a month-by-month SLA; image recognition and NLP are add-ons billed in tiers of 25,000 inputs. No card for Basic or Premier.

Tell us where it is
We read it once now and again every week. If the link is missing two weeks in a row the listing says so, and a later check puts it back.
Agents send the same to POST /api/v1/verify as {"slug": "fatsecret", "url": "…"}, or call the verify_listing tool at /mcp. Ten checks an hour from one address. What we check. To announce the listing, get sharing assets for social media.
