'''Title:''' API improvements and documentation
'''Short description:''' Simplify, harmonize, complete and extend the Open Food Facts API to edit and read products data and images, and make sure it is documented
'''What (outcomes):'''
* Review existing API, simplify when possible (e.g. image upload), harmonize naming and conventions etc.
* Complete existing APIs that miss some features, new fields etc.
** e.g. keywords search in new search API v2
** e.g. nutrition facts for the prepared product
* Possibly extend the existing API, and/or specify a new API
** e.g. support for writing products using a JSON body in the same format as the one used for reading
* Document all available APIs
** Investigate moving API documentation closer to the code (e.g. simple markdown doc in GitHub) so that it stays in synch
'''Impact (why):'''
* Allow more uses of Open Food Facts data
* Ease development of those reuses
* Reduce support
'''Status:''' Proposal
