recipe-scraper

recipe-scraper is a Rust library for scraping structured recipe data from the web

It provides a simple set of APIs to find and parse compliant recipe formats

Support

recipe-scraper is fairly pragmatic, and extracts minimal data from recipes. It currently extracts the following (meta-)data:

And supports the following structured recipe formats:

• schema.org Recipe (in JSON-LD form) -- Tested against a fairly wide selection of sites. Not perfect but pretty effective in the face of various real-world edge cases.

recipe-scraper provides methods that operate on HTML strings, as well as directly on JSON. It explicitly does not provide HTTP client functionality.

Usage & Examples

Scraping a recipe from an HTML string (which can be obtained via reqwest or ureq, etc):

use recipe_scraper::{
  Extract,
  Scrape,
  SchemaOrgEntry,
  SchemaOrgRecipe,
};
// let html = ...;
let schema_entries = SchemaOrgEntry::scrape_html(&html);
if let Some(first_valid_recipe) = schema_entries.into_iter().flat_map(Extract::extract_recipes).next() {
  println!("Found recipe!: {first_valid_recipe:?}")
}
