Everything was perfect. No errors for me.

I got mine working eventually - persistence and resilience :)

Here is my code below. I have put a few pointers in brackets in my code to highlight the areas were I was getting problems.

Hope this is of some help :)

import requests

exercise = input("Please tell us what exercise you have done?")
APP_ID = "xxxxxxxxx" (Make sure your APP_ID is submitted as a string)
APP_KEY = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx " (Make sure the APP_KEY is a string and a carbon copy of what appears in your account, just take off the final -, but leave the dead space at the end)
API_ENDPOINT = "https://trackapi.nutritionix.com/v2/natural/exercise"

headers = {
"x-app-id": APP_ID,
"x-app-key": APP_KEY
}

parameters = {
"query": exercise,
"gender": "male", (Please note the gender is a string but the weight, height and age are all integer values)
"weight_kg": 56,
"height_cm": 120,

}

response = requests.post(API_ENDPOINT, headers= headers, json= parameters)
print(response)
result = response.json()
print(result)

"Weight Kg not allowed"
Check your endpoint.
It should be v2/natural/exercise
You have v2/natural/nutrients and for that endpoint Weight Kg is not a valid parameter.

That documentation is so hard to understand, couldn't find query parameters for some reason.

That documentation is so hard to understand, couldn't find query parameters for some reason.

It's there it's just tucked under and expand menu which was not the easiest to find.

Tell me Which exercise you did: ran 3miles and walked 2km. {'message': 'child "query" fails because ["query" is required]', 'id': '95593e38-789e-4cee-8627-15d9193afdac'} This message i received anytime i ran this code , can any one explain it to me

Can you share your cade, So that i can help you to solve the problem

Hi I cant find the documentation that takes weight height and age for the parameters there is just query in the parameters list

Yeah I could not find other parameters too, plus I'm first time facing an api doc like this.

check please the API endpoint, first I also found it as an error and later my API endpoint is different from the one we should use https://trackapi.nutritionix.com/v2/natural/exercise

I don't work in cm/kg...I work in lbs and in...I converted our first exercise and bmi calculator to lbs and in...sorry...kg and cm are useless to me....can you please tell me how to do that here....Please and thank you!

I think I found the answer....thank you

Does anyone has no issue with the environment variable?
Mine all worked fine until I exported some variables to env.
So sad. What's wrong?

Here is the my solution. Im happy if it would be your help.

can anybody provide me api id and api key, i am not able to login and get the data

import requests

App_ID = "my_id"
API_Key = "my_api_key"

Define the endpoint URL

exercise_endpoint = "https://trackapi.nutritionix.com/v2/natural/exercise"

Set up the headers with authentication information

headers = {
"x-app-id": App_ID,
"x-app-key": API_Key,
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}

Define the query for the exercise data

exercise_text = input("What exercise have you done?\n")

Prepare the JSON body for the POST request

data = {
"query": exercise_text,
"gender": "male", # Replace with "male" or "female" as appropriate
"weight_kg": 70, # Replace with the user's weight in kg
"height_cm": 172, # Replace with the user's height in cm
"age": 30 # Replace with the user's age
}

Make the POST request to the API

response = requests.post(url=exercise_endpoint, headers=headers, json=data)

exercise_stats = response.json()

print(exercise_stats)

Print the response in JSON format

if response.status_code == 200:
exercise_stats = response.json()
print(exercise_stats)
else:
print("Failed to fetch data:", response.status_code, response.text)

can anybody provide me api id and api key, i am not able to login and get the data

You need to create an account on https://www.nutritionix.com/business/api to get your own app id and api key.

the app is pending and waiting approval. is it the reason?. did it happen with one of you guys?

Free public trials for the Nutritionix API are no longer available
thats what is happening to anyone that is trying to figure out

Free public trials for the Nutritionix API are no longer available thats what is happening to anyone that is trying to figure out

ya same with me

Yes of course it's the same with you. They just stopped providing it for free for everyone.

You could try with https://api-ninjas.com/api/caloriesburned
This isn't the same and it might be hard to do at this stage of the course but at least it's some way to be able to finish this day..

If you're also on the Discord server, check here for an example: https://discord.com/channels/743099584242516037/1433042220960972851/1433774742531215443

I suppose the AppBrewery will adjust the course eventually but for now, it's either skip the day, use an alternative, or pay for the api (which is overkill for just 1 exercise). Nutritionix is no longer free.

@xzenor I am seriously finding it confusing continuing the course with https://api-ninjas.com/api/caloriesburned .

Like you said, it's hard for me. I'd appreciate some help from you. For now, I guess I'd skip the day. I hope it doesn't hunt me down in subsequent days!

Hey y'all. Just wanted to drop some insight now that it's on the https://app.100daysofpython.dev/ endpoint.

An oddity I found (not sure why) is that you need to copy and paste the API Key and App ID from outside the text block when your setting up the API on the sample site. It seems to copy some trailing whitespaces that seem to be the key for this to work, whereas if you copy it out of the textbox it doesn't seem to work.

As of 30 Nov 2025, I'm able to successfully complete this.
