Technical notes

  • Source: Chefkoch public API (api.chefkoch.de/v2/recipes) for pagination + recipe HTML pages for full structured data via schema.org/Recipe JSON-LD
  • Rate limiting: Conservative 200ms delay between API requests
  • Proxy: Datacenter IPs sufficient — no Cloudflare or geo-lock on Chefkoch
  • Language: All field values are in German (no machine translation applied per source spec)
