recipe-project

Development work on creating a python program that takes a recipe url, or manually input recipe, and calculates cost and nutrition per serving. This is my first idea and work on building a python project. I am hoping to eventually build it into a website using Flask.

background

I am interested in tracking food costs and nutritional information for recipes that I make. However, I haven't found a resource that calculates both without personally documenting ingredients and how much they cost in an Excel spreadsheet. Light Bulb I have primarily used Python for data analysis and decided this would make a good project to gain different experience in Python.

idea

  • Input:
    • recipe url
      • return recipe into a 3-column dataframe [ingredient qty., qty. measurement, ingredient]
      • use food database API to pull in cost based on IP location [python package ipinfo]
    • manual recipe
      • will require ingredients, amounts, and measurements

development

  • url

    • build a program that can read in a recipe from provided url
      • beautifulsoup and requests to scrape
      • automate scraping ingredients regardless of url
        • tests:
          • theleangreenbean.com
          • tasty.com
          • budgetbytes.com
          • recipes.com
          • thefoodnetwork.com
      • parse recipe ingredients into readable format
    • return ingredient nutritional information from food database api
    • return ingredient cost from food database api (instacart?)
    • aggregate nutritional and food cost info for entire recipe
    • calculate nutritional and food cost info per serving of recipe

  • manual

    • recipe form
      • qty, unit, ingredient
      • ability to add additional ingredients
    • test db to store ingredients
      • tables
        • products
        • prices
        • locale
        • stores
