Recipe Generator creates complete cooking recipes from a dish title or meal idea. Pass any dish name to get structured ingredients with quantities, step-by-step instructions, prep time, cook time, and serving counts.
The Recipe Generator API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate recipe generator functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready recipe generator capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
Quick Start
Using JavaScript
async function callRecipeGeneratorAPI() {
try {
const params = new URLSearchParams({
name: 'chicken fajitas'
});
const response = await fetch(`https://api.apiverve.com/v1/recipe?${params}`, {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
}
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
}
}
callRecipeGeneratorAPI();Using cURL
curl -X GET "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/recipe?name=chicken%20fajitas" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"Get your API key: https://apiverve.com
