Get product
get_productRead-only
Retrieve current product information from Open Food Facts by barcode. Directly reads the primary database for up-to-date nutrition, ingredients, and labels. Use when you have a barcode for accurate results.
Instructions
Get product information from Open Food Facts by barcode. Reads the primary database directly (no sync lag), so this is always current even when search_products returns stale results. Prefer this over search whenever you have a barcode. If this returns "product not found", the product genuinely isn't in the database — you can add it with add_or_edit_product.

| fields | No | Fields to return. Defaults to: product_name, brands, categories, nutriscore_grade, nova_group, ingredients_text, nutriments, serving_size, image_url, quantity, code | |
| language | No | Language code for language-dependent fields (product_name, generic_name, ingredients_text). Defaults to "en". When a product has a different primary language, the unsuffixed field names return that language's data — this param ensures you get the language you want. | en |
