Setup

Customize settings.py

To customize the categories you want to explore (you can add as many categories as you want please note that the more categories you add, the longer it will take to feed the local database!), simply change the categories in settings.py. Add (or replace) a category using its tag in word.openfoodfact.org. The full list of categories is available on their website.

Grant access to local database

MySQL must be installed and you must know the login and password to connect to this client. CREATE USER 'id'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';

Then run setup.py Password

python setup.py mypassword

Caution: running setup.py will discard all the Products TABLE in the database and feed it again with products of categories in settings.py

Running it

Simply download the repo and run main

python controller.py mypassword
