9 months ago I have a start on this! I've managed to filter the data/display some of it in a table. (And, in the process, I accidentally stumbled into a tool that will probably help with the other apps we talked about making!) The next step is going to be figuring out how to rename the columns in the table I have (while still allowing it to identify the data), and saving that filtered list as a python dict. Excited to talk about both!
The query results from the usda api are intense and need lots of cleaning up to be used. You might also discover that you can pass parameters to improve your query results and get a cleaner response back from the API (but we can also do that later). For now you need to determine how you're going to clean up the data to get the nutrition only for each food searched, this could be pandas or plain ole python, dealers choice.
