⚫🔵 Modify a user's profile information.

post

https://api.logmeal.com/v2/managers/modifyUserProfileInfo/{userId}

This endpoint allows you to modify the profile and main attributes of an end-user (APIUser). This information associated to the user can be used for features like improving and customizing the output of the food recognition capabilities, personalizing the nutrition recommendations and nutrition plans, adapting to the user intake patterns, etc.

Read the specification of the request body to see the available fields with their descriptions.

This endpoint is the same as /v2/profile/modifyUserProfileInfo and /v2/users/modifyUserProfileInfo.

🌍 Geographic and Language Personalization

We highly recommend including the optional fields country and language in the request body:

country (ISO 3166‑1 alpha‑2 code, e.g., US, FR, JP):
Providing the country allows LogMeal to geographically refine its food recognition capabilities.
This enables improved detection accuracy for region-specific dishes and eating patterns, leading to better personalization in nutrition analysis.
language (e.g., en, es, fr):
Setting the preferred language ensures that the names of food items, ingredients, nutrients, and other elements are returned in the specified language, offering a better user experience tailored to each APIUser.

Including these parameters increases the contextual accuracy and relevance of all subsequent API responses.

🥗 Customizing Recommended Food Group Consumption

You can also use this endpoint to customize the recommended daily or weekly food group portions for a user by passing the min_max_food_groups field.
This allows setting personalized minimum and/or maximum portion limits per food group, which will be taken into account during dietary analysis and goal calculations.

Important constraints:

If you want to indicate that a food group has no minimum requirement, use null as the min value. You must not use 0, since 0 would imply the user is expected to consume exactly 0 portions, which is incorrect for min.
If you want to explicitly restrict a user from consuming a food group, set the max value to 0. This means that any intake of that group will be considered a deviation from the goal.
