FAQ

Questions Spoonacular owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I find recipes based on specific ingredients I already have?

    Yes! Use the find_recipes_by_ingredients capability. Just list your ingredients, and the agent will return recipes that maximize the use of what you have while minimizing missing items.

  • 02

    How do I get the full nutritional breakdown of a specific recipe?

    You can use the get_recipe_information capability with the recipe ID and set includeNutrition to true. This provides calories, macros, and vitamins for the dish.

  • 03

    Can the AI extract a recipe from a website link?

    Absolutely. Use the extract_recipe capability and provide the URL. The agent will parse the website and return a structured recipe with ingredients and instructions.
