[[Category:API]]
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 ====
+
[[API|← Back to API]] (required read)
The character that separates fields is <tab> (tabulation).
 
===== Encoding =====
 
The file encoding is Unicode UTF-8.
 
==== MongoDB dump ====
 
  
=== Field reference ===

=== JSON interface ===
+
Example: <code>User-Agent: CoolFoodApp - Android - Version 1.0 - https://coolfoodapp.com</code>
=== 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:
 
<pre>
 
https://fr-en.openfoodfacts.org/category/pizzas/1.json
 
https://fr-en.openfoodfacts.org/category/pizzas/2.json
 
</pre>
 
=== 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====
+
== Downloading static data ==
* 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.
 
** https://fr.openfoodfacts.org/categorie/pizzas.json
 
* 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) ====
+
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:
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.
+
* https://world.openfoodfacts.org/data (all data)
 +
* https://fr.openfoodfacts.org/data (data for that country)
  
The lc affects the language in which results will come back.
+
=== CSV API ===
  
If the results include links to products, those links will use a new subdomain that corresponds to the overrides.
+
The character that separates fields is  (tabulation).
  
=== Reading a product ===
+
==== Encoding ====
The requested subdomain will be the locale fetched. (fr.openfoodfacts will fetch FR, world.openfoodfacts EN, world-fr FR products from the whole world)
 
  
==== Structure of the call ====
+
The file encoding is Unicode UTF-8.

==== 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.

==== Examples ====
  
===== Ingredients =====
+
# https://world.openfoodfacts.org --> cc = world, lc = en (default language for the "country")
<pre>Do not make the assumption that the ingredient is or is not present based on this. Parsing errors happen.</pre>
+
# https://fr.openfoodfacts.org --> cc = fr (France), lc = fr (French)
====== List of ingredients on a specific product ======
+
# https://jp.openfoodfacts.org --> cc = jp (Japan), lc = ja (Japanese)
* On a product '''ingredients_text''' contains the text of the ingredients.
+
# https://ch.openfoodfacts.org --> cc = ch (Switzerland), lc = de (German, set as main language for Switzerland)
** ingredients_text_fr, ingredients_text_nl… (the package of a product may be multilingual)
+
# https://ch-fr.openfoodfacts.org --> cc = ch, lc = fr (French)
** ingredients_text_with_allergens_fr (same with HTML markup around allergens)
 
* This list is parsed and we construct an '''ingredients''' and '''ingredients_tags''' list, but those will contain synonyms etc. We do not have a full taxonomy for ingredients yet. It's a work in progress.
 
** ingredients
 
*** percent: possible detected percentage (still unreliable)

=== Overriding Country code (cc) and Language of the interface (lc) using cc and lc parameters ===
 +
You can pass the field cc (e.g. <code>?cc=us</code>) and/or the field lc (e.g. <code>?lc=it</code>) to customize the results.
  
===== Vitamins and minerals detection =====
+
For example, if you pass <code>?cc=us</code> and <code>&lc=it</code>, 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. <code>world.openfoodfacts.org?cc=frc</code> -> cc = fr, lc = en (default language of world)

==== 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…<br>
 
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 =====
 
 
 
https://world.openfoodfacts.net/categories.json
 
<pre>
 
{"linkeddata":{"wikidata:en":"Q40050"},"url":"https://world.openfoodfacts.net/category/beverages","name":"Beverages","id":"en:beverages","products":14196}
 
</pre>
 
 
 
Beverages >> https://world.openfoodfacts.org/category/beverages >> Q40050 >> https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q40050<br>
 
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.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
 
  
==== Examples of things you can do ====
+
Have a look at: [[API/Read/Search]]
* 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)

← Back to API (required read)

Please send a User-Agent HTTP Header with the name of the app/service querying, the version, system and an URL if you have one, so that you are not blocked by mistake.

Example: User-Agent: CoolFoodApp - Android - Version 1.0 - https://coolfoodapp.com

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:

CSV API

The character that separates fields is (tabulation).

Encoding

The file encoding is Unicode UTF-8.

MongoDB dump

Field reference

The fields used in the api are: 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.

(e.g. https://fr.openfoodfacts.org/categorie/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.

In general they follow the scheme:

https://<cc>-<lc>.openfoodfacts.org

Examples

  1. https://world.openfoodfacts.org --> cc = world, lc = en (default language for the "country")
  2. https://fr.openfoodfacts.org --> cc = fr (France), lc = fr (French)
  3. https://jp.openfoodfacts.org --> cc = jp (Japan), lc = ja (Japanese)
  4. https://ch.openfoodfacts.org --> cc = ch (Switzerland), lc = de (German, set as main language for Switzerland)
  5. https://ch-fr.openfoodfacts.org --> cc = ch, lc = fr (French)

Overriding Country code (cc) and Language of the interface (lc) using cc and lc parameters

You can pass the field cc (e.g. ?cc=us) and/or the field lc (e.g. ?lc=it) to customize the results.

For example, if you pass ?cc=us and &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=frc -> 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.
