Hi,

in api description here https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/api-spec/fdc_api.html#/FDC/getFood rank is integer, but in real life api returns it with decimal point

{"fdcId":172415,"description":"Goose, liver, raw","publicationDate":"4/1/2019","foodNutrients":[{"nutrient":{"id":2045,"number":"951","name":"Proximates","rank":50.0,"isNutrientLabel":true,"indentLevel":0,"shortestName":"Proximates","nutrientUnit":

also, can't find in description.. what rank means ?

Hi @ish-1313 This issue should now be fixed so that "rank" is returned as an integer as the API description says. Please let me know if you see any issues with it.

I believe "rank" is used for sorting the order in which the nutrients are returned/displayed ....so it is more important for the FDC UI.
