HOMA-IR Calculator API

Assess insulin resistance signal quality using HOMA-IR and QUICKI outputs for metabolic monitoring workflows.

Endpoint

  • GET /api/v1/homa-ir-calculator
  • POST /api/v1/homa-ir-calculator/post

Parameters

Name Type Required In Description
glucose number (>0) Yes Query/Body Fasting glucose value.
insulin number (>0) Yes Query/Body Fasting insulin value.
lang string No Query Response language (en,es,de,fr,pt,ja,hi,ar).

Why Use This Endpoint

  • Quantify insulin resistance trends in one call.
  • Return both HOMA-IR and QUICKI perspectives.
  • Enable recurring metabolic-risk tracking in consumer apps.
