Challenge #139: Spooky API Connection

[karlhansen]

Sadly, the website is no longer operating.  I do wish the data were available someplace else.

Seems like the relevant links no longer work?

Used the link found by @LiuZhang for the updated API. Going to attribute the difference in answer to the change. First time I've messed about with an API in ages so that was a lot of fun

Pleeeeaaaase update this challenge, was a pain finding the information!

I did a search for the food names to get the FDCIDs, which were then sent in one call to fetch the calorie values.

Would be a great API challenge if the ask was clearer 

I also used this API: https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/api-guide.html#bkmk-2

Slightly different total calories, probably due to the API keep getting updated

Just like others, the API does not work anymore so I use the one provided by others in this post.
