It wraps the Open Food Facts REST API, letting you fetch product details by barcode, search by text, and submit new products or updates. The SDK handles common tasks like taxonomy field translation and data dump iteration, reducing boilerplate for typical workflows.\n\nThe package depends on requests for HTTP calls, pydantic for data validation, and tqdm for progress bars during bulk operations. It is actively maintained and marked Production/Stable, though the documentation notes the API is subject to change\u2014pinning the version is recommended. Users must comply with both the MIT license of the SDK and the OdBL license of the underlying Open Food Facts data.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is the official SDK for a widely used open food database. Install it if you need to integrate product lookup or food data into your application. Be aware that you must comply with OdBL licensing and register your application with the Open Food Facts project."},"id":"openfoodfacts","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openfoodfacts","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/openfoodfacts.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/openfoodfacts/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-07","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"openfoodfacts","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Official Python SDK of Open Food Facts"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":80024,"position":14324,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"5.3.0"}
