I was interested and then surprised on visiting the site that there seemed to be quite a few listings. However, most of what I clicked on had no nutritional information (a few lines of "?" instead). I would be much more likely to add information if I could easily see either a list or table of products which have been added (i.e. name and a picture) but have no/missing data. Also as rpedela has mentioned, an API would be helpful for adding and consuming the data.
- teolemon 12y agoThe API is there. As for the incomplete products, you can drill them down by status if you want to help complete them. You can pick and choose from http://world.openfoodfacts.org/states http://world.openfoodfacts.org/states For instance, here are the US products with photos selected, but still in need of nutrition info: http://us.openfoodfacts.org/state/photos-validated/state/nutrition-facts-to-be-completed http://us.openfoodfacts.org/state/photos-validated/state/nut...
- wsc981 12y agoThe API seems extremely limited. It seems you can find product info based on barcode or something, but there doesn't seem any way to submit products using an API. Of course with scraping one could "fake" and API, but that kind of sucks ...
- teolemon 12y agoFor now, you have a write API being built at http://world.openfoodfacts.org/data http://world.openfoodfacts.org/data and http://en.wiki.openfoodfacts.org/Project:API http://en.wiki.openfoodfacts.org/Project:API If you'd like to use the API to contribute or help improve it, send a mail to contact at openfoodfacts dot org.
