Duplicate Food ID entries

Question

Has anyone else discovered that some foods have duplicate food id's returned but then when you pass the food id in as a parameter then only one food item is returned?

Example:  Search for "Steak Filet"

Results:
filet mignon, tenderloin steak, beef medallions

100g Cal/C/F/P: 198.00/ 0.00/ 8.32/ 30.70

Search for:  food_ajc4znfaefk7bwb1dt3j7bo9ch5u

Results:
Beef, loin, tenderloin steak, boneless, separable lean only, trimmed to 0" fat, all grades, cooked, grilled

100g Cal/C/F/P: 198.00/ 0.00/ 8.32/ 30.70

Same Food ID but different Hints.Food.Label values.

Apologies with the "required" parameters. This has now been fixed. As for the original topic of this discussion, some items are variations of other items with the same nutritional values, these items are connected and hence why the IDs return a seemingly different food item.

sorry for the late reply, I found this topic now.

If you are interested, please read the API documentation for a detailed answer
https://developer.edamam.com/edamam-docs-recipe-api#/

I mean you can find the answers if you use ctrl+f and find the **PROCNT** acronym for example. Then you will get the description:

> Protein. Unit: g. Input the range which is one of MIN+, MIN-MAX or MAX, where MIN and MAX are non-negative floating point numbers.
> See calcium for an example for how to fill in the range.

Cheers
