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

FAQ

  • How do I know if a website has a Recipe Schema?

    • Go to a recipe on the website you want to be supported.

    • Hit Ctrl - u on your keyboard

    • Search (Ctrl -f) for application/ld+json. It should be inside a script tag.

    • If you found it then it’s highly likely your website supports recipe schemas. Otherwise, you’ll need to parse the HTML.
