note: >-
  Upgraded from derived to searched on 2026-08-12. The OpenAPI declares only two scopes (basic,
  premier); the provider's OAuth 2.0 guide documents SEVEN. The five the spec omits — barcode,
  localization, nlp, image-recognition, feedback — gate exactly the capabilities fatsecret sells as
  add-ons, so a client built from the spec alone will hit error 14 ("Missing scope") on the
  barcode, image-recognition and NLP methods with no indication why.
