USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference API #11

Open borfast opened 10 years ago

borfast commented 10 years ago

It would be great to be able to access the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference via an API.

It would also be great if it could be provided in a proper format for using in a database, like comma separated values or SQL files ready to be imported. The currently available "ASCII" format is a bit of a mess and the MS Access version is hardly useful for those of us who don't have Access or even Windows for that matter.

Hi folks -

I'm not familiar with this dataset but there's a new API here - does it touch on this?

borfast commented 9 years ago

@gbinal, that looks interesting! I would say that the API builds on this dataset somehow but I have no idea. I haven't even looked at SR27 yet. I sincerely hope it evolved to this century, because the way SR26 was done was still from the time when COBOL was the most common programming language in the world... ;)
