Unaffiliated, third-party Actor. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Open Food Facts. Built on the Open Prices project (prices.openfoodfacts.org), released under the Open Database License (ODbL) -- reuse, including commercial reuse, is permitted with attribution: Open Prices data, ODbL-licensed.
Give it product barcodes (EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A or GTIN-14); get back the most recently recorded retail price for each one -- product name, brand(s), category, price, currency, whether it was a discounted price, the observation date, and the retail location it was seen at (store name, chain, city, country, coordinates). Sourced entirely from Open Prices' own public API, a single unauthenticated GET per barcode, no browser, no login.
Coverage is real but partial: Open Prices is a community-submitted database, currently concentrated in France and Europe. A barcode with no recorded price returns nothing and is not billed -- it does not mean the product doesn't exist, only that nobody has recorded a price for it here yet.
This Actor deliberately does not return the contributor's account handle
(the owner field on a price submission), the account that first added the
product to Open Food Facts (creator), any receipt or price-tag photo
(proof), or free-text comments a contributor may have left. Those identify
a person's account and contribution history, not the product or its price,
and none is needed to answer "what did this barcode cost, where, and when."
