4.2M foods, one fast nutrition API
12 followers
DietlyAPI gives your app calories, macros, micronutrients and barcode lookup for 4.2M+ foods. We merged Open Food Facts with community data, normalized and deduped it, and rank search results by a confidence score, so you get one clean endpoint instead of a months-long data-wrangling side quest. ~40ms responses, EU-hosted, live public status page. Free tier: instant API key, no card required.

Hi PH! I built DietlyAPI after hitting the same wall every nutrition-app builder hits: Open Food Facts is a goldmine but messy, duplicates, unit chaos, half-filled rows. DietlyAPI merges and normalizes millions of products, ranks results by confidence, and serves them in ~40ms, from a single small EU server, which keeps pricing honest (free tier + €27/mo Pro, no overage charges ever). Ask me anything about the data pipeline!
Confidence scoring is a nice touch since deduped datasets are usually a mess. One thing that would help us ship faster is a TypeScript SDK or at least fully typed response examples in the docs, so we can plug it into our Next.js app without hand-writing types for every endpoint.
@canselylma7p9q Thanks so much! Really happy to hear the speed stood out. A TypeScript SDK is definitely planned, our goal is to make getting started as close to plug-and-play as possible.
Love how clean the data looks and 40ms is genuinely impressive. One thing that would help me as a developer: add a small SDK or official client library for at least one popular framework, so I can drop it into a project without writing the HTTP wrapper myself.
@senses36834 Thanks for the suggestion! A TypeScript SDK is already on our roadmap, and we're also working on adding typed response examples to the docs. Appreciate the feedback!
finally an api that doesn't make you babysit open food facts forever. hit it with a few barcodes from my kitchen and the response came back basically instant, like genuinely impressed by the speed for a free tier.
