General & Capabilities

What is FoodVivo API?

FoodVivo is an enterprise-grade multi-modal food and nutrition intelligence API. It parses natural text descriptions, multi-angle plate photos, barcodes, and nutrition facts labels into mathematically verified calories and macronutrients.

How does FoodVivo differ from querying raw foundation vision models directly?

What databases does FoodVivo use for ground truth?

Accuracy, Math & Allergens

How is the 4-4-9 macro consistency enforced?

In human biochemistry, Protein and Carbohydrates yield 4 kcal/g, while Fats yield 9 kcal/g (and Dietary Fiber yields 2 kcal/g). FoodVivo enforces this thermodynamic equation on every response with less than 0.8% allowable discrepancy.

Does FoodVivo detect food allergens?

How do I report inaccuracies or train custom food models?

Latency, Edge Caching & Performance

How does the Tier-0 Edge KV Cache achieve sub-18ms latency?

Can I bypass the cache during development?

Billing, Security & Privacy

Are meal photos retained indefinitely?

Do throttled (HTTP 429) requests count towards my monthly bill?
