TheCocktailDB Downloader
TheCocktailDB API offers over 500 drink recipes in JSON format. The API is great for many projects, but some need an offline version of the data. This project fetches data from TheCocktailDB for offline use.
How to get the data?
For most uses, here are dumps of the data returned by TheCocktailDB API on the 23rd of May, 2021:
| Directory | Content |
|---|---|
| without-images | TypeScript typing (types.ts) and an array of all of the drinks (drinks.ts). |
| with-images | As above, but includes images of the drinks. The thumbnailFilename property in the drink points to the matching image. |
Please support TheCocktailDB when using the data for commercial purposes.
Getting fresh data
If the above data is too old for you, run the downloader to get fresh data:
- Install Node.js and Yarn
yarnin the root project directory to fetch all dependenciesyarn startto start the download process
Converting drinks.js to SQL
If you'd rather have the data in SQL format, perform these steps after running the downloader:
- Open drinks.ts with a text editor.
- Remove the following from the beginning of the file:
import { Drink } from "./types";
export const drinks: Drink[] =
- The file should now start with
[{and end with}] - Save the file.
- Feed the file to a conversion tool, e.g. Convert JSON to SQL, to create the
CREATE TABLEandINSERTstatements to enter the data to your database.
