Is it possible to get the link to the food report? #45

Doing an API call for nutritional data gives me a response that contains the ndbno. However, I cannot construct a URL that links to the food report page of this ndbno.

For example, the food report of ndbno 14532 is this url:

https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/4416

So ndbno 14532 maps to some number (the internal id?) 4416. Is it possible to retrieve these numbers?

You should be able to construct a URL like this: https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show?ndbno={ndbno}&rptfrm=nl e.g. https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show?ndbno=09427&rptfrm=nl HTH
