Edamam's Nutrition Data API(Version Retired)
More than 100,000 foods
The Nutrition Data API returns the nutrient content and diet tags of foods submitted in a natural language. It is the most advanced nutrition analysis technology.
You submit any combination of food and its quantity as a free text (e.g., “1 bunch kale,” “3/4 cup buttermilk,” “a pinch of salt”).
We return detailed information about nutrient content and the applicability of the food for most major diets.
- Edamam will process the free text, extract the relevant data and calculate accurately the nutritional data.
- No need for separate submission of food and quantity and no need to submit the food in a specific format.
- Data is returned for calories, fats, carbs, protein, cholesterol, sodium and another 30 micronutrients.
- Each food will be also tagged for 25+ diets such as paleo, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, etc.
- Access to 100,000 basic and packaged foods (CPG)
