r2api
· Updated
recipe2api is a Python package aimed at converting recipes on blogs without an external API into a Python dictionary/JSON object. As of now, it can only parse websites (reliably) for which there are converters. There are currently converters for the following websites:
- giallozafferano.it
- fattoincasadabenedetta.it
- https://blog.giallozafferano.it/mollichedizucchero/
- https://blog.giallozafferano.it/primipiattiricette/
- https://blog.giallozafferano.it/allacciateilgrembiule/
Converters have been made mostly on demand, so feel free to contact me and send me a website you need a converter for. I have made converters for Italian sites, but r2api should work for any most any languages provided there is a correct converter; however, I have not made any converters for any sites that don’t have UTF-16 encoding, though the limiting factor should be (untested) the lxml decoder in Beautiful Soup.
The package also has a somewhat simplified implementation of the Google Cloud Translate API in order to translate the recipes into English. A separate translator could be implemented, especially a custom ML model, though I have yet to do that.
