Recipe Mining

Tools for mining recipes from the internet.

A couple of tools are provided here to automatically fetch recipes, and parse them into a common format.

Recipes can be downloaded from a random-recipe-endpoint as gzip compressed (default) html into a directory (default html) using get_random_recipes.py.

With parse_recipe.py Recipes from the default endpoint can be parsed into a gzip compressed json structure.

metadata.py can concatenate the recipes into two types of csv.

Requirements

• python3
• BeautifulSoup (for parsing)
• requests (for fetching)
• pandas (for creating csvs)
