Open Food Facts

How to Use This API

1. Look Up a Product by Barcode

Use the product barcode (EAN/UPC) to get full details:

https://world.openfoodfacts.org/api/v0/product/737628064502.json

Returns product name, brands, ingredients (with origins), nutrition facts per 100g, allergens, additives, eco-score, and more.

2. Search Products by Name

3. JavaScript — Scan a Barcode

async function lookupProduct(barcode) {
  const resp = await fetch(
    `https://world.openfoodfacts.org/api/v0/product/${barcode}.json`
  );
  const data = await resp.json();
  
  if (data.status === 1) {
    const p = data.product;
    console.log(`Product: ${p.product_name}`);
    console.log(`Brand: ${p.brands}`);
    console.log(`Nutri-Score: ${p.nutriscore_grade}`);
    console.log(`Ingredients: ${p.ingredients_text}`);
    console.log(`Eco-Score: ${p.ecoscore_grade}`);
  } else {
    console.log('Product not found');
  }
}

lookupProduct('737628064502');

4. Python — Compare Nutrition

import requests

barcodes = ['737628064502', '3017620422003']
for bc in barcodes:
    resp = requests.get(f'https://world.openfoodfacts.org/api/v0/product/{bc}.json')
    product = resp.json().get('product', {})
    name = product.get('product_name', 'Unknown')
    nutriments = product.get('nutriments', {})
    sugar = nutriments.get('sugars_100g', 'N/A')
    fiber = nutriments.get('fiber_100g', 'N/A')
    print(f"{name}: {sugar}g sugar, {fiber}g fiber per 100g")
