The scraper pulls the menu from the UGent website and parses into a workable json format. The current API is located at http://zeus.ugent.be/hydra/api/2.0/resto. The number at the end of the URL indicates the version of the API. Currently the API is at version 2.0

The API currently only supports the JSON format.

• meta.json

  Some additional information on the UGent resto's such as the legend used and a list of their locations. For each resto a dictionary with 4 values is provided: the name, address, latitude and longitude.

• menu/[0-9]{4}/[O-9]{2}.json

  This resource contains the menus for a whole week. The first number in the URL is the year, the second one is the weeknumber. The list will at most contain 5 entries, one for each day of the week. Each of those entries contains 1 or 4 keys.

  If the open key is false, all restos are closed that day and no other keys are provided. If open is true, the keys meat, soup and vegetables are also provided.

  An example structure is provided below. This is a typical structure with 4 meat entries, 1 soup entry and 2 vegetable entries.

    "2011-03-21": {
    	"open": true,
    	"meat": [
    		{
    			"name": "Kalkoengebraad",
    			"price": "\u20ac 2,80",
    			"recommended": true
    		}, {
    			"name": "Heekdelight#",
    			"price": "\u20ac 3,50",
    			"recommended": false
    		}, {
    			"name": "Rundshamburger*",
    			"price": "\u20ac 3,20",
    			"recommended": false
    		}, {
    			"name": "Veg. kaasburger",
    			"price": "\u20ac 3,60",
    			"recommended": false
    		}
    	],
    	"soup": {
    		"name": "Uiensoep",
    		"price": "\u20ac 0,50"
    	},
    	"vegetables": [
    		"Hutsepotgroenten",
    		"Appelcomote"
    	]
    }
