About RecipeAPI

Recipe API is a REST API providing access to recipe, ingredient, and nutrition data for developers. It offers over 50,000 recipes, 10,000+ ingredients, and 5 endpoints, returning structured JSON responses that combine full recipe details, cooking instructions, and nutrition data in a single request. Documentation includes code examples in cURL, JavaScript, Python, PHP, Ruby, and Go, along with an interactive playground for testing endpoints in the browser.
