NEAT Estimate API

Convert step and work-profile signals into non-exercise calorie burn and compensation-risk guidance.

Endpoint

  • GET /api/v1/fitness/neat-estimate
  • POST /api/v1/fitness/neat-estimate/post

Parameters

Name Type Required In Description
steps_per_day integer (0-60000) Yes Query/Body Daily step count.
job_type string Yes Query/Body sedentary,active,manual.
body_weight number (35-250) Yes Query/Body Body weight in kg.
lang string No Query Response language (en,es,de,fr,pt,ja,hi,ar).

Why Use This Endpoint

  • Quantify NEAT contribution to energy balance.
  • Detect compensation risk from low movement patterns.
  • Provide clear step-based boost targets to users.
