Enter any keyword(s) — bread, mediterranean, pasta, lunch, dessert, vegan —
and get back matching recipe URLs with titles from the web and the top
recipe sites. One record per match: { keyword, title, url, source }.
Built to pair with the Recipe Extractor: run this actor to discover recipe URLs, then feed those URLs into recipe-extractor to get the full structured recipe (ingredients, method, times, nutrition).
Input
| Field | Type | Default | Description |

No proxy needed. Every source above responds from plain datacenter IPs. Sites that block datacenter IPs — allrecipes and smittenkitchen — are intentionally omitted so you don't pay residential-proxy overhead. (If you need them later, enable Apify Proxy RESIDENTIAL in
proxyConfiguration.)
Any source that blocks, errors, or returns no matches is skipped gracefully — the run still succeeds with whatever the other sources found.

position | Rank within the keyword's deduped results |
Chaining with recipe-extractor
Pricing
Runs are billed by platform usage only — no per-result charge. A single keyword across all sources typically costs well under one cent.
FAQ
Can I search multiple keywords at once? Yes — pass an array; each keyword is searched independently and results are tagged with the keyword.
What counts as a "recipe URL"? Direct-site results are internal article
links (non-recipe paths like /about, /category, /shop are excluded). web
results must have a recipe-like path (/recipe(s)/) or come from a
recipe/food domain.
Why do some sources return nothing? Sites frequently block datacenter IPs. Enable Apify Proxy with the RESIDENTIAL group to improve coverage.
