Quickstart

Create an account, then create a key on your dashboard. Authentication covers the rest.

Search matches on meaning as well as wording, so this finds carbonara as readily as anything with “creamy” in the title. Replace rd_your_api_key with the key you just created.

Every result is a full recipe plus a score. Times are seconds, ingredients are parsed into quantities and names, and steps are numbered. This is the same object every recipe endpoint returns — see the recipe object.

When you only need a few fields, ask for them. The response then carries those, plus id and score:

• Filtering and vocabularies — narrow a list by cuisine, course, diet, ingredient or total time.
• Pagination — walk the whole database.
• Errors — every message the API can answer with, and what to do about it.
• The API reference — every endpoint, with a Run button.
