Description

Develop a web scraper to extract recipe content from the Nutritionfacts.org website. This scraper will use the existing orchestrator infrastructure for task scheduling, execution and monitoring. The scraper will collect data including recipe names, ingredients, instructions, and nutritional information. The data will be stored in JSON format in a MongoDB database hosted on Google Cloud Servers. The extracted data will be utilized in creating context for custom agents specialized in nutrition advice.
