| <p><em>The open crowdsourced database of food products</em></p> | ||
| <h2 class="emphasized-title" id="why-open-prices">Why Open | ||
| Prices?</h2> | ||
| <p>Open Prices is a project to collect and share prices of food | ||
| products around the world. It’s a publicly available dataset | ||
| that can be used for research, analysis, and more. Open | ||
| Prices is developed and maintained by <a href="https://world.openfoodfacts.org">Open Food Facts</a>.</p> | ||
| <p>At present, historical prices of food products are owned by a | ||
| few companies that sell them to private companies, | ||
| researchers or other organizations and are not freely | ||
| accessible. This project aims to change that, by mobilizing | ||
| people everywhere to share the prices they see in their | ||
| local shops.</p> | ||
| <h2 class="emphasized-title" id="how-does-open-prices-work">How | ||
| does Open Prices work?</h2> | ||
| <p>We’re crowdsourcing an open-source dataset of food prices. | ||
| Prices can be added by retailers or hackers through <a | ||
| href="https://prices.openfoodfacts.org/docs">our API</a>. | ||
| A web and mobile app is in the works to make it easier for | ||
| people to add prices.</p> | ||
| <p>Open Prices is not only meant to store individual prices, but | ||
| consumption baskets, i.e. the list of products that people | ||
| buy in a single shopping trip. This data is extremely | ||
| interesting for researchers to analyze food consumption | ||
| habits.</p> | ||
| <p>When possible, we ask contributors to always provide a proof | ||
| of the price, in the form of a photo of the price tag or | ||
| receipt. This is to ensure the quality of the data and to | ||
| make it easier to ensure data quality.</p> | ||
| <p>If you’re providing a receipt as the proof image, it means | ||
| you agree to submit your consumption basket to Open Prices. | ||
| We will anonymize the receipt and make it publicly | ||
| available, so that it can be used for research purpose. If | ||
| you don’t want to publicly share your receipt, you can still | ||
| contribute by taking a picture of the price tag.</p> | ||
| <p>The price dataset is licensed under the <a | ||
| href="https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/">Open | ||
| Database License</a>, which means that it can be used | ||
| for any purpose, as long as you credit Open Prices and share | ||
| any modifications you make to the dataset.</p> | ||
| <p>Images submitted as proof are licensed under the <a | ||

| <p>Price information is of paramount importance to | ||

| <p>For legal and technical reasons, we don’t consider | ||

| collect are accurate and up-to-date, and receiving | ||
| scraped | ||
| prices from contributors doesn’t allow us to do that.</p> | ||
| <p>Price scraping is a considered option in a future version | ||
| of | ||
| Open Prices, but it would be done by Open Prices itself | ||
| so | ||
| that we can have a proof of the price based on the | ||
