openean 0.1.2

Unofficial API wrapper for Open EAN/GTIN Database

OpenEAN

Library to use the api of the Open EAN/GTIN Database

serves as API wrapper for the api of this EAN/GTIN database service

Getting started

Install the library from pypi via pip install openean

Then you need an user_id for the service; more info how you get that

There is also an id for small tests: "400000000" as described here https://opengtindb.org/faq.php#g

from openean.OpenEAN import OpenEAN


userID = 400000000  #user your own id here

openean = OpenEAN(userID)

barcode_num = 1111 #barcode number of you product

items = openean.parse(barcode_num)
#items is a list of possible products associated with the code
# the properties of each item are described here https://opengtindb.org/api.php

#only to show you structure of working results
#not needed for use
from pprint import pprint
for item in items:
    pprint(vars(item))

Thanks to
