Open Food Facts Scraper

Food Products Database Returns clean, structured JSON records ready for analysis, automation, or integration with other tools.

What You Get

• Food product names and brands
• Ingredients and allergens
• Nutrition facts
• Preparation instructions

All results are returned as structured JSON objects — no parsing or cleanup required.

This actor supports automatic pagination — it keeps fetching pages until maxResults is reached.

Quick Start

Click Run with default settings — no configuration needed. The actor works out of the box.

{
  "maxResults": 100,
  "searchQuery": ""
}

Or search for specific data:

{
  "searchQuery": "pasta",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "startPage": 1,
  "resultsPerPage": 0
}

Output Format

Results are pushed to the Apify Dataset as individual JSON records. Each run also saves a summary to the Key-Value Store under OUTPUT:

{
  "totalResults": 100,
  "fetchedAt": "2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"
}

Dataset records contain the raw structured data returned by the source, including fields like:

• Food product names and brands
• Ingredients and allergens
• Nutrition facts

Use Cases

• Nutrition tracking apps
• Recipe discovery platforms
• Grocery shopping tools
• Dietary planning apps

Pricing

$1.00 per 1,000 results — pay only for what you use. Pricing is based on the number of records pushed to the dataset.

Results	Estimated Cost
100	$0.10
1,000	$1.00
10,000	$10.00

Notes

• Results are pushed to the dataset in real time as they are fetched
• The actor automatically retries failed requests up to 3 times
• Rate limiting is handled gracefully with built-in delays
• Run multiple times safely — each run creates a fresh dataset
