API to search by barcode

Hi!

 

I went through the documentation and found API calls to get locales, the databases of which can be searched by barcode, but not the API to search for food by barcode.

 

I would like to pass a UPC barcode in the search query and check the Fitbit database of the US for food with that barcode. 

 

This feature seems to work on the app when a barcode is scanned, but doesn't seem to be open to developers. Could you please let me know if this feature is available and I missed it? Or if it will be added soon?

 

Thank you.

Hi @cadenza_97 

 

Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to search by barcode.
