A easy to use library to extract recipe information from any URL or HTML file compliant with schema.org's recipe schema. Available at https://schema.org/recipe.
Built with Typescript, types already included.
Currently only pages that present the information in the JSON+LD schema are supported. Most major recipe websites use this schema, which is also Google's recommendation.
npm install html-recipe-scraper
type Recipe (See format below)
function parseURL(url: string): Promise<Recipe>
;function parseHTML(html: string): Promise<Recipe>
;
Both parseURL
and parseHTML
return exactly the same results, the difference is that the URL function will downlaod the page and send it to parseHTML
for processing.
import { parseURL, parseHTML } from 'html-recipe-parser'
const myUrl = https://www.recipeswebsite.com/some-delicious-cookie
const recipe = await parseURL(myUrl)
// or with then/catch
parseURL(myUrl)
.then(recipe => console.log(recipe))
.catch(e => console.log(e))
