This application was created to make Sunday meal planning easier! Gone are the days of traversing the internet for recipes using vague search criteria, inundated by too-many choices and irrelevant results. I grabbed recipes from my favorite online providers and amalgamated them for quick retrieval to generate recipe ideas for the week.
This app scrapes data from several popular recipe websites...
- Bon Appétit
** Scraped with BS4 via Splinter (abstract layer for Selenium) - Half Baked Harvest
** Scraped with BS4 via Splinter - Ambitious Kitchen
** Scraped with BS4 via requests
... and stores the data for quick retrieval via website (linked above).
Websites are scraped with different technology to demonstrate functional expertise.
The app calls an api built on heroku that references a custom search engine. You can view the source code here!
