Localization

There is an extensive section on our Localization capabilities which explains how to access non-US and non-English data. In total, our Platform API provides access to more than 55 unique and stand-alone country datasets which will cover local generics, branded/manufactured products as well as restaurant items and recipes.

By default, the API will return food data from the US dataset while the default language is English.
