API
Introduction
Current status of the API
- Currently the API is mainly used internally for the official Open Food Facts Cordova application 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 http://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
Language Bindings
- Ruby bindings - https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-ruby - gem install openfoodfacts - https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openbeautyfacts-ruby - gem install openbeautyfacts
- Python bindings - https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-python (LIVE API) - https://github.com/openfoodfacts/OpenFoodFacts-APIRestPython (Local Dump)
- PHP bindings - https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-php
- Go bindings - https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-go

Downloading static data
http://world.openfoodfacts.org/data
Field reference
The fields used in the api. http://world.openfoodfacts.org/data/data-fields.txt
JSON interface
Countries
You can either use the global (world) for locales (fr, en…)
A few things to note:
- if you use a country subdomain instead of world, you get products for that countries only which might change the language but also the name of the fields, in that case you need to use the local language
- http://fr.openfoodfacts.org/categorie/pizzas.json
- an alternative is to specify the language in the subdomain: http://fr-en.openfoodfacts.org/category/pizzas.json
Reading a product
See http://fr.openfoodfacts.org/data or http://en.openfoodfacts.org/data The requested subdomain will be the locale fetched.
Structure of the call
- http://world.openfoodfacts.org/api/v0/product/737628064502.xml
- http://world.openfoodfacts.org/api/v0/product/737628064502.json
The final number must be a valid barcode.

Posting photos for a product
- Use the POST method on /cgi/product_image_upload.pl
- 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
Important:
- 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.
