Capabilities
Everything needed to ship nutrition features.
A focused API surface for the data work most health, fitness, grocery, and recipe products need.
Nutrition02
Ingredient computation
Turn an ingredient list into structured macros, vitamins, minerals, daily values, and serving totals.
Discovery03
Recipes and drinks
Search by name, diet, cuisine, ingredients, time, or nutrient range, then retrieve full instructions and nutrition.
Products04
Barcode lookup
Resolve UPC and EAN products into names, brands, servings, nutrition, dietary attributes, and processing signals.
Images05
Photo and label analysis
Estimate a meal from a photo or convert a Nutrition Facts label into structured JSON with clear failure states.
Intelligence06
Scoring and parsing
Analyze ingredients, score foods against goals and allergies, parse meals, and suggest healthier alternatives.
Data model
Corpus first. Better coverage over time.
FitVete checks its validated library before any fallback. Qualified misses can be normalized, scored, and retained, so repeat requests increasingly stay inside the FitVete data layer.
01
Search owned data
Exact keys, aliases, and ranked text matching resolve common foods before any fallback.
corpus02
Resolve the gap
Unknown queries enter a miss queue and may use a licensed or public-data source as temporary coverage.
miss03
Normalize and validate
Units, macros, nutrients, and confidence are shaped into one contract before promotion.
score04
Own the delivery path
Approved images are cached in FitVete Storage. Public response URLs stay on FitVete domains.
host05
Answer faster next time
Corroborated records gain confidence and future consumers benefit from the stronger library.
learnEndpoint directory
A predictable API surface.
Every endpoint returns JSON. Most requests cost one point; compute-heavy intelligence and vision routes declare their higher cost clearly.
