Fresh Insights API
How To
Summary
The IBM Food Trust™ Fresh Insights API allows authorized users (human and system) to retrieve freshness data for food supply chain products.
Steps
Prerequisites
To use the IBM Food Trust Insights API, you must meet the following prerequisites:
Your organization has subscribed to Insights.
Your data integration experts are familiar with using REST APIs to send data programmatically. Automation of data upload is an ultimate goal to facilitate data sharing.
For IBM Food Trust organizations to share supply chain data, each organization must have defined the appropriate level of data access control. For details on restricting and sharing your data, see Data entitlement mode and Data access control.
Getting started
Take the following steps to get started with the IBM Food Trust Insights API:
Obtain an Authentication Token, as described in Authenticate human users and Authenticate system users.
Submit an Insights API request, with the authentication token in the authorization header.
Swagger
To use the Insights API manually, use the Swagger interface for the following environments:
Sandbox Insights API
Production Insights API
You must first provide a valid IBM Food Trust authorization token (human user token) on Swagger, that uses the Authorize button on the upper right of the page.
Products endpoints
The products endpoints retrieve product, inventory, and dwell time data for the specified product identifier (product ID).

HOW IT WORKS?
API – Index of the prices of agricultural outputs and inputs – statistics notice (data to January 2022)
14 Apr 2022
In the 12 months to January 2022, the price index for agricultural inputs increased by 18.6%.
The largest contributors to the 18.6% change in the price index were fertilisers and soil improvers (8.4 percentage points), followed by energy and lubricants (2.4 percentage points) and compound feeding stuffs (1.9 percentage points).
Higher prices were recorded for all agricultural inputs with the minor exception of seeds (-0.05 percentage points).
The price index for agricultural inputs increased by 2.0% in the month to January 2022, compared with an increase of 0.3% in the month to December 2021. This makes January 2022 the nineteenth consecutive month to report price inflation in agricultural inputs.
Our platform utilizes visual analysis and artificial intelligence and is already powering some of the most advanced practical applications.
Retail-tech startup Scanwatch uses our food recognition API to transform the checkout experience. API is employed for recognizing scanned products at self-checkout counters. Scanwatch automatically identifies food items and unpackaged goods, eliminating the need for the customer to browse for the items in the self-checkout menu. In addition, the platform helps to mitigate checkout fraud and unintentional item misscanning.

General information
What is it about?
An API, short for Application Programming Interface, is a set of services that can be called from a computer program (“Machine to Machine” interface). It's a computer interface, as opposed to a (human) graphical user interface. Technically the Agri-food Data API is a Web API, consisting of a set of addresses (URLs) that may be used to retrieve information from the portal's database. The information is substantially the same as what you can see in the "Data Explorer" tab of the corresponding portal app, but the format is suitable for consumption by computers rather than human beings – even though humans can still read it! It is formatted in a structure known as JSON.
Here is an example of a query URL to retrieve some Portuguese beef prices from 2019 and 2020:
https://www.ec.europa.eu/agrifood/api/beef/prices?memberStateCodes=PT&years=2019,2020&months=1,3,9&weeks=5,6,7,8,40,41,42&beginDate=01/09/2019&endDate=02/02/2020&carcassCategories=heifers,cows
The key=value pairs after the question mark are filtering parameters to limit the reply to only those records that you need. If you click on that link you will see a typical JSON-formatted reply with curly braces {} to separate records. You can also experiment by varying the parameter values in the address bar of your browser. The general structure of a request
