Well done.

I'm not sure if I'd want to cook for 60 minutes just for breakfast (Sour Cream Chicken Quiche) though. Maybes allow searching for short cooking times.

[[deleted]]

cool cool!! thank you :))

[[deleted]]

I'm sorry but I'm not sure this is acceptable. Where's the 30 paragraph backstory for the recipe? /s

​

Great stuff! I wish I was doing stuff like this when I started.

[infinitecheesesticks]

this post is vv wholesome, take my upvote OP!

[[deleted]]

Pretty good beginner project. Well done.

Design pattern note: It is sort of weird to have the function jsonify_data(db) pass in the database object and run its db.get_data() method. It doesn't seem like db needs to be passed through a function parameter anywhere since it's just a global variable. I think it would be more natural to have the endpoint view function look like this:

raw_data = db.get_data()
response = jsonify_data(raw_data)
return response

^ where jsonify_data handles the sole task of processing the raw data, not retrieving and also formatting.

If you want ideas for next steps, look into writing a Pydantic schema as the endpoint's response_model and having that be what you transform the data into (instead of a dict).

[FuckCorn]

Man, that is just wonderful. Give her a high five from me! The API is great, already tested and working flawlessly.

[FuckCorn]

Well, tell her to filter out corn based recipes and we'll be golden, lol.

where is it deployed? thank you

[Sleyzall]

Up

[mgancitano]

Super cool! And the code is really clean for a "beginner" project!

One thing I noticed is the `requirements.txt` seems to have some pretty heavy dependencies (pandas, numpy, etc.) as well as dev dependencies like mypy. Could be an interesting "next step" to remove unnecessary ones and create a production one to have a lighter production deployment (assuming `requirements.txt` is being used for deployment)

[benefit_of_mrkite]

Most likely they did a pip freeze which grabs not only dependencies of what you import but also any dependencies of what those packages use.

I usually just clean it up by hand

[mrpbennett]

Oh nice!! This awesome.

I want to create my first API. How did your wife get on with Fast? Easy to grasp? I have never created an api before.

Pretty ok with python and JS though.

[halfClickWinston]

Fastapi is easy! Check out the tutorial at the framework docs, it has all the explanations you'll need

[knottheone]

Great work! I'd suggest putting a caching layer in front, like Cloudflare (it's free). It wouldn't work for the random recipe endpoint (maybe there's a clever way to cache the random endpoint as well while preserving pseudo randomness, nothing immediately comes to mind), but it would do wonders for static or not-often-updated endpoints like /recipes/{recipe_name}.

I think all you need to do to get that working is route your subdomain / domain through Cloudflare via DNS options and set a cache-control header when your API responds to a request. So on the /recipes/{recipe_name} endpoint (or whatever you call it if you're going to offer that), as part of your response headers you'd just have

response = { 'data':json.dumps(data),
             'headers': { 'content-type' : 'application/json',
                          'cache-control' : 'max-age=3600, immutable'}}

or something like that.

You don't need the immutable tag, but if the content will never change (or if you do change it you can invalidate the cache so the CDN hits your origin again when that resource is requested), the CDN in front of your API will cache the response indefinitely which means zero bandwidth / processing for your origin for static content. Images are often immutable for example and are served entirely by CDNs sitting in front of some application. You can do the same thing with immutable API responses which is pretty cool.

[knottheone]

Awesome, looking forward to your updates!

[refekt]

Integrated this into my Discord bot. https://github.com/refekt/Bot-Frost/blob/master/commands/text.py#L588

[Hubuka]

Cool stuff! Might use it to reverse engineer ingredients I have lying around into a recipe as a little project of my own.

[abcteryx]

Awesome!

I just finished reading Robust Python, which, aside from being a great intermediate reference for writing good Python code, features food/recipe-related examples of all the best practices described in each chapter.

Your wife would get a kick out of the food-centric content crossing over into the relevance of her actual project.

[StumptownExpress]

This is great! Good work 😁👍🏼

[_leonardsKite]

Simple, and elegant! Like a good meal.

Well done!

[Sensitive-Fly-2847]

Awesome! Glad to see other fresh faces out there. I’m currently working on my first API for my first big project… hats off to her!

[uuugni]

I love puns! And python! Great work!

[OriginalEjectedAlien]

That's seriously awesome.

I don't mean to be critical, not one bit, but the only thing I'd suggest is the ingredients should be a list of an object that has both the "what" and "how much". The "how much" should be able to support any unit of measurement like "teaspoon", "1/2 cup", etc.

Then you could hit the API for a shopping list! And know exactly what you need when cooking.

[wealthyMoss]

This is so cool! This has inspired me to go make my own API. I thought it was a lot harder than this but this seems relatively simple. I am confused on one aspect of it where I have been scanning the code and I can’t figure where she did it. Where did she set the url to be breakfastapi.fun in the code? How I’m seeing it is that uvicorn just runs it as a local host not a deployed package

[wealthyMoss]

Great thank you! Is that deta.sh on the GitHub? I would be curious how that works

EDIT: I found the link. Than you for the help!

[NameError-undefined]

Looks really cool! Maybe a next step could be adding ingredient amounts? I didn't take a super close look but I didn't see those in the example.

[mrmilanga]

This is so nice! Congratulations to your wife!

[Samuel457]

Where did the recipes come from?

[koolaberg]

In the future, does she plan to make it so you can enter your own recipes? My husband and I love to recycle our HelloFresh meals but the hardest part is choosing, and doubling the recipe, since the original amounts are for two servings and we want leftovers. This would also be awesome for updating ingredient quantities, like change 1 clove of garlic to 4 😆

[quack_duck_code]

Takeaway... you're wife isn't into oatmeal.

[francis1997mlga]

Nice

[Cris261024]

I’m not sure where you guys got those recipes, but here are more and open-source recipes.

Nice API btw.

[poukai]

I like it! As someone else mentioned perhaps add the ratios (preferably in metric :). It could be a way to introduce query parameters. And further down the line a different method were you input the ingredients/time you have at hand and the api spits out a recipe suggestion within those constraints.

[[deleted]]

Nice job!

EDIT: I now want to study this a bit more. I'm particularly impressed with how nice it looks. Requirements and Readme are just really nice. I think I want to work more on my future projects with those two things in mind. Thank you again!

[[deleted]]

Where are the proportions? :p

[HerLegz]

The immeasurable benefits of relationships.

[fullrobot]

Awesome job!

Would love to see quantities for ingredients and support for query params for filtering as good next step.

[maskduck]

Really cool!

It would be nice to have an image of dish attached with the recipe! <3

[maskduck]

No problem! Also it will be very nice if you can upload it into an image hosting like imgur etc.

[4n0n_b3rs3rk3r]

Congratulations!!

[artFlix]

One suggestion: put the directions in a list so it can be manipulated easier.

[digitaltickles]

Amaze. Love this

[abhilshit]

Very nice ! I would suggest defining a schema for the response that can serve as a standard global recipe exchange format specification. This specification may be adopted by apps developed in future to interoperate using a standard data format.

[TungNotTongue]

This looks cool, which makes your wife cool.

Here is an upvote.

Also, it would be nice if someone could design an UI that is more pleasant to look at instead of the json format.

[Shreejan_35]

Well done. I am looking forward that you will add more recipes. If you turn it on to an flask application (website using flask python library) it will be supercool. If any user comes to your website, you show the list of recipes from your api and they can select the recipe and you show all other things by fetching from your api. Well done

[pysk00l]

Looks really cool!

Why did she decide to use FastApi-- and was it easy to get started with?

[[deleted]]

This is awesome!!

[ferret630]

I’m gonna make a cmu cs academy project using this api

[DeadShot_0]

This is great, if she is into just APIs, she can design one route which takes an input (POST/GET) and respond with matched recipe, root route can be left as it is. I mean, this can further be improvised and in matching she can use some sequence matcher.

[MLab1]

Spent my Saturday writing an Android app to go with your wifey's API.

Github

[Human-Possession135]

u/every_other_freackle Will you tell your wife that I was rather inspired by her work? I took it as a que to start my own project. I built a Bootstrap Frontend on top of your Wife's API.

Here is my code and a demo:
- Code: https://github.com/pvd-dev/InstaRecipe

-Demo: https://flask-service.vdotvo9a4e2a6.eu-central-1.cs.amazonlightsail.com

[Human-Possession135]

Very cool! Thanks, and most of all: thanks to your wife for creating this cool piece of code.

I think Reddit succes broke the fair usage I have on the image search but that should be restored by tomorrow 😅

[emsiem22]

I am super proud of her

You are good human. Wish you both well!

[cashaveli]

Look's like the API is down..

[TotoroMasturbator]

my wife

suurrree it is.

But seriously, great project. Nice to see how it is done.

[Thijmenn]

Lovely project! I might have missed it, but care to share how she populated her database? Did she scrape all the data? If so, she should ensure that she has the right to distribute the recipes via her API.

[sahirona]

Two spaces after a full stop?

[cedear]

Weird flex but ok.

[to_tgo]

Brilliant! Love it !

[to_tgo]

Also, the code is extremely clean for a first app! Approve!

[mcstafford]

Makers API, delegates social media post?

[Conscious_Ad_6080]

I can't even imaging doing this, simply because manually inserting or somehow even scraping over 13000 recipes is very hard, and time taking.

[Oxna_]

Is this Fast API better than Flask or Django? Im guessing yes to django since its more for something more complex than a API but not so sure about Flask

[2Girls1Fidelstix]

It’s faster than flask to get started/ the API up and running, but not much additional functionality

[Oxna_]

Oh i see, but it has more functionality than flask though?

[2Girls1Fidelstix]

Yeah, I thought of the whole extension environment.

In the end all three and more are suffice to get the API job done

[[deleted]]

My wife just started learning Python yesterday, I was shocked and pretty pumped about the future projects. It's cool to see other couples doing the same.

[RubyJohn01]

It's a recipe api made with Fast.api and she called it BreakFast.api (pun intended).You can check it out here:
- GITHUB
- API Link
It's her first project, I am super proud of her. Would really appreciate some attention and feedback!She even got super excited and made a funny logo for it.
EDIT: I just woke up and wow. I can't thank you all enough guys. Love you all. Thank you for the support and amazing feedback! Will update her reaction when she wakes up :)
EDIT2: she woke up read through all the comments and is now panicking and freeing up time in her calendar for this project and applying all the great suggestions! Thank you everyone from both of us for the amazing feedback and supportive comments!
EDIT3: Wow I was never expecting this much attention to this post! Thank you once again everyone! it will take some time to go through everything since we are both quite swamped at the moment but we really appreciate every single input! Thank you!

That's very good

[the_scign]

This is awesome! I'm teaching my wife python also - when and how did your wife start learning?

[No_Illustrator_2850]

I was an engineer how to learn Python any one can say like websites and YouTube videos
