# LogMeal (slim)

> LogMeal's Food AI Engine is a REST API from AIGecko Technologies, a University of Barcelona spin-off, that recognises dishes in a photo, returns ingredients, quantities and nutrients, and logs intakes, goals and plans per end user.

Assessment: Photo recognition that returns dishes, ingredients, grams and nutrients, with per-user tokens, rate-limit headers, backoff guidance and a 30-day trial with no card. No price is published, there is no status page, SLA or security programme, and submitted images are kept indefinitely and used to develop models unless the user asks for deletion.

## Facts

- Kind: HTTP API · vendor: AIGecko Technologies S.L. · category: Cooking, recipes & meal planning · legal entity: AIGecko Technologies S.L. · provenance 64/100
- Auth: API key · pricing: Paid · x402: no · licence: unknown
- Probe metrics: not measured yet (probes haven't run)
- Surface listed: The Food AI Engine API v2 at api.logmeal.com, read from docs.logmeal.com (welcome, quickstart, plans and limits, user types and tokens, how to use, troubleshooting, the feature overview, llms.txt, the segmentation, rotate and getting-started reference pages) and logmeal.com (home, pricing, Food AI Engine pricing, about, team, terms, privacy, contact) on 3 November 2026. No account was made and no call was sent
- Plans: Free trial for 30 days (all endpoints, 200 queries, 5 users, no card), then Analyse (recognition, ingredients, nutrition), Monitor (history, goals, occasions, managers, plans, custom recipes, favourites, body measures), Recommend (diet labels, variety score, Nutri-Score, recommendations, quantity and waste detection) and Custom (dysphagia feedback, white label, kiosk). Prices are not published
- Limits: Monthly credits per company (1 credit per recognised image, none for nutrition and recipe data, extras charged beyond them), 20 images a day per APIUser on a rolling 24 hours, 1 image a second per APIUser, plus per-endpoint restrictions. HTTP 429 beyond them
- Tokens: APICompany (one per subscription, from the dashboard), APIUser (one per end user, from POST /v2/users/signUp) and APIUserManager (from POST /v2/managers, Monitor plan or higher). JWT bearers with no stated expiry; web sessions expire after seven days; POST /v2/users/tokens/rotate replaces all of a user's credentials after a reauth proof
- Recognition output: imageId, processed image size, occasion, food type and family, model versions, and per segment a centre, bounding box, polygon, serving_size in grams and ranked recognition_results with probabilities, subclasses and Nutri-Score fields by plan. Languages spa, cat, eng, ita, nld, fre, ger, tur, gre, heb
- Errors: 400 with a numeric code and message (701 image could not be saved, 708 invalid language), 401 invalid token, 403 token lacks access, 404, 429 too many requests, 500. Troubleshooting says to retry 429 and 5xx with exponential backoff and to respect Retry-After
- Data use: Customers keep ownership of inputs and outputs; the terms allow LogMeal to use submitted data for training machine learning algorithms and anonymised statistics; the privacy policy retains images and nutrition data without a time limit for developing models unless deletion is requested, on Google Cloud in the EU by default
- Support: Email support (support@logmeal.com) answered within 24 to 48 hours Monday to Friday, a contact form, and direct developer contact on the Custom plan. No status page or community channel

## Before you call it

1. Create one APIUser per person with the company token, set the user's country and language first, and call recognition with that user's token only
2. Send JPEG images resized before upload; a 429 may mean the per-second, daily or, on the trial, monthly limit, so wait for RateLimit-Reset or Retry-After and back off exponentially
3. Read GET /v2/info/limitations before a batch, since it reports credits and daily limits without spending any
4. Do not retry a recognition call blindly; each successful POST to /v2/image/segmentation/complete logs an intake and uses a credit, so check for the imageId first
5. Tell the person that uploaded photos are kept and used to develop LogMeal's models unless deletion is requested

## Connect

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.logmeal.com/v2/image/segmentation/complete -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOGMEAL_APIUSER_TOKEN" -F "image=@meal.jpg"
```
