PantryAI

PantryAI is a web-based application that helps you discover recipes based on the ingredients available in your pantry. By leveraging the Spoonacular API for recipe discovery and Azure Cognitive Services for AI-powered ingredient analysis, the app provides users with not only recipe suggestions but also insightful analyses of their ingredients, helping them make informed decisions about their meals.

Features:

• Recipe Search by Ingredient: Enter an ingredient, and the app will retrieve recipes containing it.
• AI Insights for Ingredients: Receive detailed analysis and key phrases related to the ingredients used in a selected recipe using Azure AI.
• Recipe Details: View important information about the recipe, such as the number of ingredients used and the number of missing ingredients.
• Nutrient Suggestions: Based on the ingredients in a recipe, the app will suggest potential nutrients, though this feature is currently under development.

Technologies Used:

• HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript for front-end development.
• Spoonacular API for recipe suggestions based on the user's input.
• Azure Cognitive Services (Text Analytics API) for ingredient analysis and extracting key insights.

How to Use:

1. Clone or Download the Repository: You can download the repository from GitHub to your local system to begin using the application.

2. Set Up Your API Keys:

   • Spoonacular API: You will need a Spoonacular API key to retrieve recipe data. Replace the default key in the script.js file with your personal API key.
   • Azure Cognitive Services API: Set up your Azure Cognitive Services account and replace the Azure API key in the analyzeWithAzureAI() function in script.js with your own API key.

3. Open the Application: Open the index.html file in your browser to access the PantryAI app. You can start by typing an ingredient into the search bar, and the app will fetch recipe suggestions. Once you select a recipe, you can click the "Get AI Insights" button to receive detailed ingredient analysis.

Core Functions:

analyzeWithAzureAI(ingredients)

This function sends a list of ingredients to Azure’s Text Analytics API to analyze the key phrases and extract useful insights. The response provides a breakdown of the ingredients used in the recipe.

getRecipeInsights(recipeId)

This function is triggered when the user clicks the "Get AI Insights" button on a recipe. It fetches detailed recipe information from the Spoonacular API and processes the ingredients with the Azure AI service to offer insights.

Error Handling:

• If the required API keys are missing or incorrect, an error message will be displayed in the console.
• If no ingredient is entered or if no recipes match the search criteria, the app will prompt the user to enter a valid ingredient.
• In case of an error fetching data from the APIs, the app will show a message indicating that there was an issue with the request.
