robotoff 1.0.8

Real-time and batch prediction service for Openfoodfacts

Robotoff

Robotoff is a service managing potential Open Food Facts updates (also known as insights). These insights include a growing set of facts, including:

• the product category, weight, brand, packager codes and expiration date
• some of its labels
• abusive pictures (selfies)
• rotated pictures
• ingredient spellchecking

Robotoff provides an API to:

• import a batch of insights in JSONL format
• Fetch insights
• Annotate an insight (accept or reject) and send the update to Openfoodfacts if the insight was accepted

Once generated, the insights can be applied automatically, or after a manual validation if needs be. A scheduler takes care of regularly marking insights for automatic annotation and for sending the update to Openfoodfacts.

The API documentation describes the API endpoints.
