Recipe Search API Documentation Recipe Search API allows you to search through millions of web recipes and integrate this information into your mobile or web applications.
Here are some of the core features of Recipe Search API:
Search over 2.3 million recipes in English Search our large recipe database. We add new sites and recipes continuously.
500+ top web recipe sources Our search algorithm returns the most relevant recipes from the most popular and best recipes sources on the web. We order recipes by their cookability and quality, so your customer can always count on getting the best recipes!
Semantically organized database The recipes in our database are normalized and can be filtered in the search by calorie and diet preferences.
Full nutrition for each recipe We have the most accurate automated nutrition analysis on the web powered by our proprietary Natural Language Processing (NLP) engine. Customers get detailed nutrition breakdown of each recipe with 25+ nutrients and appropriateness for all major diets.
Filter by calories, diet or allergy restrictions Edamam has developed over 80 diet and health filters for your customers to use. Now you can develop applications for virtually any popular diet or major health condition.
Data Caching The terms of use of the Edamam Data are covered in the API Terms of Use and do not permit data caching unless explicitly permitted by Edamam. The data caching described here does not constitute permission to copy or reuse the Edamam data. Data caching is allowed for some paid API plans when explicitly stated by plan’s terms. API subscribers can cache only the four basic macro nutrient datapoints - protein, total fat, net carbs and calories as well as the recipe URI, recipe title and recipe image. Saved data can be used only in the end user's account, behind a password. The caching as described here does not allow API subscribers to build a copy of the Edamam data to be reused in any form or to build a recipe search. The API still provides full nutrient data which can be displayed on call without caching and API subscribers can only cache the nutrients and data elements described above. Active subscription to an eligible plan is required as long as the data is used.
Chronic Conditions Tagging and Filtering Edamam offers the ability to search our database of 2.3 million recipes based on their appropriateness to over 200+ chronic conditions. Recipes are ranked for each chronic condition from very beneficial to very detrimental for the specific condition. You can search, for example, for recipes that are good or excellent for a particular condition (e.g., Type 2 Diabetes, kidney disease, hypertension).
