A simple web scraping tool for recipe sites.

Contribute

Part of the reason I want this open sourced is because if a site makes a design change, the scraper for it should be modified.

If you spot a design change (or something else) that makes the scraper unable to work for a given site - please fire an issue asap.

If you are programmer PRs with fixes are warmly welcomed and acknowledged with a virtual beer.

If you want a scraper for a new site added

  • Open an Issue providing us the site name, as well as a recipe link from it.

  • If you are a developer and want to code the scraper on your own, this is a wonderful example of how to do it.
