Paprika works exactly the same, as does Evernote and Pocket. Apple has not by the way, complained about copyright infringement.

The app wasn't blocked for copyright infringement. Apple hasn't asked for any changes. Evernote isn't blocked, or Pocket. You're talking about something different.

Copy Me That only scrapes a recipe when the user clicks the share button on a wepage, like Evernote. It's not a crwler.

I'm curious why you call it malware? You can visit a website, find a recipe you like, click a button, and the recipe gets copied to you recipe box. It's like Evernote, but is specific for recipes. Then you can edit the recipe, cre

I also think it's worth noting that the content that they're complaining about is saved to private accounts. DropBox (Google Drive, etc., etc.) isn't responsible for stuff you save to your private accounts. Also, Apple hasn

There are hardly any unsuccessful results. (Assuming that the page actually contains a recipe.) People have copied recipes from more than 70,000 websites into their recipe boxes. Of course, I can't check that all the millions of recipe

I don't know about this scraper, but one thing that mine does ( http://www.copymethat.com ) is to "read" the complete page looking for certain word combinations that indicate ingredients or steps. It also considers

That's funny! I'm not seeing any pizza recipes now. It shows the latest shared recipes that have images. There are trends, though. One person wrote and complained that vegans were taking over the website, but the next day the Comm

I'm working on this and finding that it's a lot of work (and code) to identify the actual ingredient. Consider "all-purpose sifted flour." That's the same ingredient as "plain flour." So (so!) many ways to

I made a recipe scraper that doesn't look at the structured (schema) data, but instead "reads" the whole page to detect the recipe. I found that there are too many recipe sites that don't use the schema rules including,
