API
Introduction
Current status of the API
- Currently the API is used internally for the official Open Food Facts mobile applications (iOS, Android, Windows, and we need help !) and by dozens of reuses on various topics (Nutrition, sport…) and platforms (iOS, Android…), but does not yet follow good practices in API design.
- It is also used by several applications and while not yet stable, doesn't change much.
- You can have a look at the source code of the app
- Anyone with Swagger (or equivalent knowledge) willing to help us document the API is most welcome :-)
Getting help with the API
You can ask for help on using the API in this API channel on Slack. Join us to discuss your use case and get help/code from other devs.
How to test the API
READ operations
Technical details
- You can do READ operations using production
- You should now use the SSL version of the API. The unsecure version WILL be deprecated :-)
https://ssl-api.openfoodfacts.org
Licence
Open Food Facts is under the OdBL licence (database) and CC-BY-SA (pictures). That has a couple of legal implications. Please join us on the Slack channel to discuss them.
WRITE operations
Use cases
- You can add photos and informations to Open Food Facts using the API.
- Letting your users add new products by uploading photos is the most common use case.
- Several apps already enable more advanced editing. Gamification would be welcome.
- The official mobile apps can use some help.
A few things
- Do join the API channel if you intend on using WRITE
- Do not send copyrighted photos or information using the API. Everything you send is OdBL for the data, and CC-BY-SA for the pictures. If those are not yours (eg from scraping), you bear all the legal consequences.
- You can create a global account for your app if you don't want to implement Open Food Facts user creation in your app right now. Please report it in #api so that it can be monitored for errors.
- You should do all your test edits on https://world.openfoodfacts.net (ask for the password on Slack)
Conventions for the API
- fields that end with _t are dates in the UNIX timestamp format (number of seconds since Jan 1st 1970)
- fields that end with _datetime are dates in the iso8601 format: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mn:ssZ
- fields that end with _tags are comma separated list of tags (e.g. categories_tags is the set of normalized tags computer from the categories field)
- fields that end with a language 2 letter code (e.g. fr for French) is the set of tags in that language
- fields that end with _100g correspond to the amount of a nutriment (in g) for 100 g or 100 ml of product

Roadmap
Bugs
Reporting bugs
- Do not hesitate to file a bug if you find an issue in the API, or need an improvement.
Known bugs
- General bugs: https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server/issues
- API bugs: https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server/labels/api
- API milestone: https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server/milestone/8
Warning
- Some products are incomplete.
- You should ensure your UX tells the final user that the product is not complete, encourage them to exercise caution and/or help complete the product.
- When doing averages, computations… filter incomplete products to avoid issues
- Assume the data is not reliable until the product is marked as complete.
- In general, ensure the user exercises maintains caution (for allergens…) and be upfront about possible risks.
READ API Documentation
Downloading static data
It is recommended to use the live API to get fresh data about products, the minute they are uploaded to the database. However, in some cases, you may need a snapshot. They are available at:
- https://world.openfoodfacts.org/data (all data)
- https://fr.openfoodfacts.org/data (data for that country)
CSV API
The character that separates fields is <tab> (tabulation).
Encoding
The file encoding is Unicode UTF-8.
MongoDB dump
Field reference
The fields used in the api. https://world.openfoodfacts.org/data/data-fields.txt
JSON interface
Pagination of results
If you're looking for all products within a facet (eg: https://fr-en.openfoodfacts.org/category/pizzas.json), you'll only have the 1st page. To move from page to page:
https://fr-en.openfoodfacts.org/category/pizzas/1.json https://fr-en.openfoodfacts.org/category/pizzas/2.json
Countries and Language of the Response
You can either use the global (https://world.openfoodfacts.org, https://ssl-api.openfoodfacts.org) or local (https://fr.openfoodfacts.org,https://en.openfoodfacts.org…) domains for your API queries
A few things to note
- if you use a country subdomain instead of world, you get products for that country only, which might change the language but also the name of the fields. In that case you need to use the local language.
- an alternative to avoid dealing with local languages is to specify the language in the subdomain: https://fr-en.openfoodfacts.org/category/pizzas.json
Country code (cc) and Language of the interface (lc)
By default, the country code (cc) and language of the interface (lc) are set through the subdomain.
Examples
- https://world.openfoodfacts.org --> cc = world, lc = en (default language for the "country")
- https://fr.openfoodfacts.org --> cc = fr (France), lc = fr (French)
- https://jp.openfoodfacts.org --> cc = jp (Japan), lc = ja (Japanese)
- https://ch.openfoodfacts.org --> cc = ch (Switzerland), lc = de (German, set as main language for Switzerland)
- https://ch-fr.openfoodfacts.org --> cc = ch, lc = fr (French)
Over-riding Country code (cc) and Language of the interface (lc) using cc and lc parameters
If you pass ?cc=us and/or &lc=it, it will set the country to US and the language to Italian -> if you just pass cc, the lc will be the one set in the subdomain. e.g. world.openfoodfacts.org + cc = fr --> cc = fr, lc = en (default language of world)
The cc affects which results are returned. cc = fr -> you get only products with France listed in the countries where sold field.
The lc affects the language in which results will come back.
If the results include links to products, those links will use a new subdomain that corresponds to the overrides.
Reading a product
The requested subdomain will be the locale fetched. (fr.openfoodfacts will fetch FR, world.openfoodfacts EN, world-fr FR products from the whole world)

Product images
- Images ensure the reliability of Open Food Facts data. It provides a primary source and proof of all the structured data. You may therefore want to display it along the structured information.
- We encourage you to let your users upload images for products that don't exist yet, and for existing products as well (packaging and information changes over time).
- We have different scales of images. Use them wisely to save bandwidth, both for your users and Open Food Facts.

Nutrition values
Nutrition data
General structure
The nutrition facts are presented by multiple fields per nutrition fact. Each nutrition fact is presented by a key, i.e. "salt", "fat", etc. The fields can also be found in the taxonomy translation file.
The fields can have the following structure:
- key (string) - the value for the nutrition fact key (eg in json: "fiber":"0.5");
- key_serving (string) - the value of a serving for type key (eg: in json "carbohydrates_serving":"5.82"). The size of the servig is found in the serving field;
- key_value (string) - the standardized value of a serving of 100g (100ml) for type key (eg in json: "salt_100g":"0.19");
- key_100g (string) - the standardized value of a serving of 100g (100ml) for type key (eg in json: "salt_100g":"0.19");
- key_unit (string) - the units used in the other fields (eg in json: "carbohydrates_unit":"g"). Possible values are "kg", "g", "mg, "µg", "l", "ml", "%" or "";
- key_label (string) - a more user friendly text explaining the
Only the nutrition facts that are actually found on the packaging are present in the interface.

Linked Data (coming soon)
Link to Wikipedia and Wikidata
Whenever possible, Open Food Facts entities are linked to Wikidata, and in turn to Wikipedia. What this means is that you get access to a trove of additional encyclopedic knowledge about food. You can for instance get: Wikipedia articles about Camembert, the translation of salt in many languages, the molecular structure of a cosmetic ingredient…
We provide the Wikidata QID, which is an unambiguous, stable and reliable identifier for a concept that will be useful to actually retrieve info from Wikipedia and Wikidata.
Example
Camembert de Normandie >> https://world.openfoodfacts.org/category/camemberts-de-normandie >> Q1086855 >> https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1086855
As you see, you'll get a beautiful image, information about the Quality label… As Wikidata is a Wiki, the knowledge you'll be able to retrieve will increase over time.
Retrieving info from Wikipedia and Wikidata
You can use the Wikipedia and Wikidata APIs to get the information you want
Examples of things you can do
- Provide more context and more information about a specific Product, a Category of products, a Quality label, a Geography, a Brand, a Packaging material, an ingredient…
- Perform checks or computations by mixing Wikidata information and Open Food Facts information (and possibly other APIs)
WRITE API Documentation
Status Codes
If the edit was successful
{"status_verbose":"fields saved","status":1}
If there was an issue
Wrong password
HTML 200 code + an HTML page with a link to login
Authentification
- user_id
- password
WARNING: If the password is not correct, the API will currently "silently" fail, both for image addition and product data addition (will return HTML 200 code + an html page with a link to login - example )
Anonymous contribution
- It is possible for new products (no anonymous modification is possible though, for obvious reasons)
- It is possible for adding images (as many as you like)
- If you detect an error 200 (wrong password), please retry the query without user_id and password. That way the contribution will be accepted. Otherwise, the photo will get lost :(
Global account
If you want to avoid coding the detection of password errors, login stuff… you can create a global account for all your users.
You can create a global account to let the users of your app contribute. please name it YourApp_app or something like that, so that we can spot them easily. Better yet, introduce yourself on Slack :-)
Manipulating photos for a product
Understanding products and photos
- Photos are the primary source of Open Food Facts.
- We need good photos or the product, of its ingredients and nutrition table. (and for each language present on the packaging)
- Please encourage your users to add as many photos as possible, even if the product is already complete (in that case, don't set them as default photos for front, ingredients, and nutrition)
Upload behaviour
If you upload an image (eg for front), the first one will be shown, the others will be saved but not displayed. Useful if you want to let your users take additional images that are neither front, ingredients or nutrition (eg: recycling instructions, labels…)
Understanding photos for multilingual products
Multilingual products have several photos based on languages present on the packaging. Just suffix the lang code to our examples to get or add the relevant language(s).
Adding photos for a product
- Use the POST method on:
Test server: https://world.openfoodfacts.net/cgi/product_image_upload.pl
Live server: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/cgi/product_image_upload.pl
(remember to do tests on world.openfoodfacts.net - login and password: off )
Parameters
- code: the barcode
- imagefield: (front | ingredients | nutrition)
- imgupload_front : your image file if imagefield:front
- imgupload_ingredients: your image file if imagefield:ingredients
- imgupload_nutrition: your image file if imagefield:nutrition
Example
curl --user off:off --form "imgupload_front=@Tacitus.jpg" --form code=1212121212 --form imagefield=front --form user_id=tacite --form password=mypassword https://fr.openfoodfacts.net/cgi/product_image_upload.pl
Important
- Content-Disposition: form-data; name=“imgupload_front”; filename=“front.png”
- There must be a HTTP header "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" in the HTTP POST request.
- The imageupload_(front|ingredients|nutrition) name, size and data needs to be encoded in the multipart/form-data format, usually your HTTP request library will do that for you.
- All parameters need to be passed as POST parameters, do not put some in the URL.
- 0048151623426 is a random barcode used only for demonstration purposes.
Getting a list of all available photos
You get a list of all available photos in the product JSON (both selected photos for all languages, and Raw photos (source images for the selected images and images that are not used)

Cropping a photo
This implies applying operations to a source image (not only cropping, but all the others if applicable). We start from a source image (defined by a barcode and incremental id), apply cropping parameters (x1, y1, x2, y2), additional operations (white_magic, normalize)

Performing OCR on a photo
We start from a source image (defined by barcode and id) as selected for ingredients. We ask Product Opener to process it (process_image=1). Product Opener returns a JSON. Processing is done using Tesseract (3 on preprod). The result is often cripped with errors. Take steps to avoid direct copy pasting into the ingredients field by your users.
