Food List

Food List allows to manage the content of one's pantry supporting different storage locations and product matching.

Use-case request examples

Get foodlist including deleted (i.e. consumed) items

curl -X GET "https://api.whisk.com/foodlist/v2?filters.presence=PRESENCE_FILTER_EXISTING&filters.presence=PRESENCE_FILTER_CONSUMED&sorting.by=SORT_BY_CREATED_AT&sorting.direction=SORT_DIRECTION_DESC"  \ 
-H  "accept: application/json" \
-H  "Authorization: Bearer %USER_TOKEN%" \ 
-H  "Content-Type: application/json"

Add wine into the Wine Fridge location

Complete set of enum values forlocation andzone can be found in docs.

location_id allows defining in what location the item is going. For example, a user may have two wine fridges, location_id will let you distinguish them.

Whisk will validate the one item per slot rule, i.e. the API will return an error if try to put several items in the same slot.

Mark an item as consumed (soft-delete)

curl -v -X POST 'https://api.whisk.com/foodlist/v2/action' -H 'Authorization: Bearer %USER_TOKEN%' 
-H "Content-Type: application/json" 
-d '{"consume": {
    "id": [
      "uuid-uuid-uuid-uuid-uuid"
    ]
  }
}'

Get recently added items

curl -X GET "https://api.whisk.com/foodlist/v2/recent?items_count=5&include_hidden_items=false" 
-H 'Authorization: Bearer %USER_TOKEN%'

Hide items from recently added history 

curl -X POST "https://api.whisk.com/foodlist/v2/recent/hide" 
-H  "Content-Type: application/json" 
-H 'Authorization: Bearer %USER_TOKEN%'  
-d '{  "ids": [    "uuid-uuid-uuid-uuid"  ]}'

Add an item directly as consumed into the Food List specifying it was AI autogenerated

  1. If UI requires some kind of grouping items together (e.g. with the same deposit date, it should be implemented on the client side)

  2. If an item with an already existing external_id is being added, we will ignore it for now. Since the API is designed as a batched one, the proper error management is tricky to add to avoid failing the whole batch of operations. While the requirements are not 100% clear it's easier to skip.

  3. All timestamp fields (e.g. added_at) are accepted and returned in Epoch seconds (not millis, sanity check is to have 10 numbers, not 13) e.g. 1691024523

curl -X POST "https://api.whisk.com/foodlist/v2/action" -H  "accept: application/json" -H  "Authorization: Bearer %USER_TOKEN%" -H  "Content-Type: application/json"
