}Imminently: Our goals include moving over to using multiple API's, and caching results in order to reduce the number of external API calls necessary. Additionally, we would like to focus on gathering and collecting health data, to also allow Eatabel to give users more insight into their eating habits.
Down the Road: Our goals include sourcing product images from multiple sources. The Edamam API has many missing images, therefore we would like to use multiple sources to provide product photos.
Ultimately: Our goals include building our Database and API, allowing for user submission of photos/product data, in order to reduce the reliance on external API's.
