Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://food.memoryapi.org/x402/food/nutritionWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you have a specific USDA FDC food ID and need the complete, authoritative nutrition profile including both macros and micronutrients. Prefer this over general food search endpoints when the FDC ID is already known. Ideal for detailed nutritional analysis, dietary tracking applications, or when you need comprehensive vitamin and mineral data beyond just macros.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-existent FDC ID returns a 404 or empty result
- Missing FDC ID parameter returns a 400 bad request error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns a 402 payment required response
- Rate limiting may return a 429 error if too many requests are made
- USDA FDC database may not have nutrition data for all FDC IDs (sparse nutrient coverage)
