The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Open Food Facts Product Lookup ### What it does This **free** actor looks up food and grocery products by **barcode (EAN-13 / UPC)** using the open **Open Food Facts** database. For each barcode you get the product name, brand, quantity, categories, **Nutri-Score**, **NOVA** processing group, **Eco-Score**, ingredients, allergens and per-100g nutrition facts (énergie, matières grasses, sucres, sel, protéines). Ideal for enriching product catalogues, diet apps and food-data pipelines. You only pay your Apify platform usage — the actor itself is free. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `barcodes` | array of strings | Product barcodes to look up. One dataset item per barcode. | | `country` | string | Open Food Facts subdomain: `world` (default), `fr`, `us`, … | ### Output One item per barcode: ```json { "barcode": "3017620422003", "status": "found", "product_name": "Nutella", "brands": "Ferrero", "nutriscore_grade": "e", "nova_group": 4, "ecoscore_grade": "d", "ingredients_text": "Sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts 13%, ...", "nutrition": { "energy-kcal_100g": 539, "sugars_100g": 56.3, "salt_100g": 0.107 }, "url": "https://world.openfoodfacts.org/product/3017620422003" } ```` `status` is `found`, `not_found` or `error`. ### Use cases - Enrich e-commerce or retail catalogues with nutrition and Nutri-Score data. - Power diet, nutrition and allergen-checking apps. - Batch-audit a product list for NOVA / Eco-Score. - Academic and open-data food research. ### Limitations & fair use Data comes from the collaborative Open Food Facts project (Open Database License). Coverage and freshness depend on community contributions; some barcodes return `not_found`. A short delay is applied between requests to respect the API. ### More actors by this developer See more open-data actors on the author profile: https://apify.com/vigilant\_jasmine # Actor input Schema ## `barcodes` (type: `array`): List of product barcodes (EAN-13 / UPC). One dataset item is produced per barcode. ## `country` (type: `string`): Open Food Facts country subdomain to query (e.g. 'world', 'fr', 'us'). Use 'world' for the global database. ## Actor input object example ```json { "barcodes": [ "3017620422003", "5449000000996", "7622210449283" ], "country": "world" } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "barcodes": [ "3017620422003", "5449000000996", "7622210449283" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("vigilant_jasmine/open-food-facts-product-lookup").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
