About RecipeAPI

Recipe API is a REST API providing access to recipes, ingredients, nutrition data, and cooking instructions through a single endpoint. The catalog includes over 50,000 recipes and 10,000+ ingredients across 5 API endpoints, with recipe content available in 3 languages. Responses are JSON, and code examples are provided in cURL, JavaScript, Python, PHP, Ruby, and Go.

The API targets developers building food delivery apps, recipe websites and blogs, meal planning applications, and restaurant management tools.
