Since the developer of Kitshn has implemented a direct way to import social media posts to tandoor, I will no longer maintain this repo!

Since I often browse Instagram or TikTok for recipes, I wanted a way to save them to my own recipe collection on Tandoor. Getting an Instagram / TikTok API took me too long, so I decided to use Selenium to scrape the recipe from a provided Instagram / TikTok post. Since everyone writes their recipes differently and it's almost impossible to parse them all into the required JSON format, I decided to use an LLM. My notebook is not powerful enough to use Ollama for this, so I decided to use DuckAi. To automate the query process, I also used Selenium to interact with the website. When I get all the necessary JSON parts, I combine them and send them to Tandoor using the implemented API.

The problem with LLM's is that they are not deterministic, so the output can be variable in quality. Sometimes you have to adjust the output manually, but in most cases it's good enough to use as is.

• Scrape Instagram / TikTok posts (with images)
• Use DuckAi to generate recipe JSON
• Upload recipe to Tandoor / Mealie
• Docker support
• WebUi

The script uses Selenium to interact with the installed web browser. The browser is hidden by default, so don't worry if nothing pops up. You can check if your installed browser is compatible by checking the Selenium documentation. The default browser is Firefox. To change the browser, add the following to your `.env' file

BROWSER=chrome

other possible values are edge, safari, firefox. If you do not add this line, the default browser is Firefox.

python3 app.py

python3 main.py -url [https://www.instagram.com/...] -mode [mealie (m) | tandoor (t)] -platform [instagram (i) | tiktok (t)]

or use

python3 main.py -help
