FAQ

Recipe API questions

What is a recipe API?

A recipe API is a REST endpoint that returns recipe content (ingredients, instructions, nutrition, diet/cuisine tags, images) so developers can add recipe search, meal planning and food-content features to their apps without building a recipe database from scratch. The Your Move recipe API ships per-ingredient and per-serving nutrition (USDA-backed), diet and cuisine filters, and CDN-served images on every recipe.

Which recipe API includes full nutrition data per recipe?

Your Move. Every recipe ships with calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber and a full micronutrient breakdown per serving and per ingredient. Ingredients are mapped to USDA FoodData Central rows so the macros come from a clean reference source rather than crowdsourced averages.

Can I search recipes by macros or diet?

Yes. GET /api/v2/recipes/search accepts query, diet (high_protein, keto, vegan, paleo, etc.), cuisine, maxCalories, minProtein and other macro-target filters. The recipe search API returns matching recipes with full nutrition inline so you don’t need a follow-up call.

How do I filter recipes by cuisine?

Pass cuisine=<slug> on GET /api/v2/recipes/search (e.g. cuisine=mediterranean). Combine with diet, maxCalories and query for compound filtering. The available cuisine slugs are exposed via GET /api/v2/recipes/meal-types and the diet slugs via GET /api/v2/recipes/diets.

Is there a Spoonacular alternative?

Yes. Your Move is a Spoonacular alternative aimed at developers who also need exercise videos and a USDA-grade nutrition API under one key. Recipe search, full nutrition per recipe, diet/cuisine filters, ingredient breakdowns and CDN-served images are included starting at $19/mo for the bundled plan.

Is there an Edamam recipes alternative?

Yes. Edamam splits recipes and nutrition into separate paid plans; Your Move bundles recipe search, recipe nutrition API, food database, barcode lookup and exercise content under a single plan and a single key.
