share your code

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,
"age": 35
}

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.

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