Calorie Burn API
Exercise calorie-burn maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically with the MET (metabolic-equivalent) method. The activity endpoint computes the calories burned by an activity, calories = MET × weight × hours, taking the MET value directly or from a named-activity table (walking, running, cycling, swimming, HIIT, rowing, yoga, weightlifting and more), and returns the calories per minute. The steps endpoint turns a step count into distance and calories: the stride is estimated from height (about 0.415 × height for walking, 0.65 for running), the distance is steps × stride, and the energy is the distance times bodyweight times a net cost of roughly 0.5 kcal/kg/km walking or 1.0 running. The duration endpoint works backwards, giving the minutes of an activity needed to burn a target number of calories. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for fitness, activity-tracking and weight-management app developers, workout and step-counter tools, and wellness dashboards. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. Estimates only. 3 endpoints. This is activity energy expenditure; for resting metabolism and TDEE use a BMR API.
