# Analyze Nutrition Image

`POST /nutrition_records/image`

##### Upload a food image and analyze the nutritional content.

The system uses advanced computer vision and machine learning models to identify ingredients, calculate nutritional values, and provide detailed food composition data.

### Processing Flow

The processing mode is controlled by the `wait_on_process` parameter. The API supports two processing modes, each suited for a different use case:

- **Asynchronous** (recommended) — returns immediately and processes the image in the background (see [Asynchronous Processing](/nutrition-ai/async)); use webhooks for real-time notifications
- **Synchronous** — waits for analysis to be completed before responding

If your application is configured to use asynchronous processing and ready to consume webhooks, our API will send a webhook notification in both processing modes, synchronous or asynchronous, once the nutritional analysis is completed.

### Analysis Modes

- **`precise`** (default) — uses advanced AI models for the highest accuracy and detail with good processing time
- **`fast`** — uses optimized AI models for good accuracy and detail with the fastest processing time

### Localization

Optionally provide `country_code` and/or `language_code` in lowercase (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code) for region-specific analysis.

### Including Optional Data

If `include_nutrition_fields` is omitted or empty, only four basic fields are included by default:
- `carbohydrate_g`
- `energy_kcal`
- `fat_total_g`
- `protein_g`

Example of how to include optional fields and custom nutritional fields:

```json
{
  "include_nutri_score": true,
  "include_dish_description": true,
  "include_ingredients": true,
  "include_nutrition_fields": [
    "energy_kcal",
    "protein_g",
    "fat_total_g",
    "carbohydrate_g",
    "fiber_total_dietary_g",
    "sodium_mg",
    "calcium_mg",
    "iron_mg"
  ]
}
```
