Autocomplete

Please refer to the Food Search section for a new and improved way for searching for foods for food logging or other purposes.

The Autocomplete search covers all object types (recipes, products, own recipes) and is mostly used for Food Logging purposes.

Required Arguments

Argument	Required	Type	Description
query	true	String	Search query
mealType	true	MealType	Type of meal/food that is being searched

Leaving the mealType argument empty will result in a search that covers: RECIPE and USDA_MEAL. Using the argument will narrow the search to that particular domain.

Available Fields

Field Name	Type	Description
enter	Boolean	True to complete the value based on which the user entered. If this value is not defined, by default it will be set as true.
first	String	Retrieves the first results from the list.
after	String	For more information, refer to the Search documentation
