What it collects

Every record contains the following fields:

Field	Type	Description
`recipe_id`	string	Unique NYT Cooking recipe identifier
`url`	string	Canonical recipe URL
`name`	string	Recipe title
`author`	string	NYT Cooking contributor byline
`description`	string	Recipe description / headnote
`recipe_yield`	string	Serving size (e.g. "4 servings")
`total_time`	string	Total cooking time (e.g. "1 hr 30 min")
`prep_time`	string	Preparation time
`cook_time`	string	Active cooking time
`recipe_category`	string	Meal category (e.g. "Dinner, Main Course")
`recipe_cuisine`	string	Cuisine style (e.g. "Mediterranean Inspired")
`recipe_ingredient`	array	List of ingredient strings with quantities
`recipe_instructions`	array	Step-by-step instructions
`nutrition`	string	JSON-serialized nutrition facts (calories, fat, carbs, protein, sodium, etc.) from schema.org NutritionInformation. `null` for recipes without nutrition data.
`aggregate_rating`	number	Average user rating (1–5 scale)
`rating_count`	integer	Number of user ratings
`keywords`	array	Tags and keywords (ingredient highlights, technique, difficulty, etc.)
`image_urls`	array	Full-resolution image URLs
`date_published`	string	ISO 8601 publication date

Discovery

By default the actor walks the official NYT Cooking sitemap index (https://www.nytimes.com/sitemaps/new/cooking.xml.gz), which contains monthly sub-sitemaps covering the full recipe inventory. Only /recipes/ paths are collected — article and guide pages are excluded.

Inputs

Input	Type	Default	Description
`maxItems`	integer	10	Maximum number of recipes to collect. Set to 0 for no limit (full catalog run).
`startUrls`	array	—	Optional list of specific NYT Cooking recipe URLs to scrape directly, bypassing sitemap discovery. Useful for targeted single-recipe or small-batch runs.

Data source

All data is extracted from the schema.org/Recipe JSON-LD markup that NYT Cooking embeds in every public recipe page for SEO purposes. Recipe content — including ingredients, instructions, and metadata — is publicly available. The NYT Cooking paywall only gates account-specific features (recipe box, personal notes, collections) and does not restrict access to recipe markup.

Usage notes

For a full catalog run (~25K recipes), use maxItems: 0 and allow sufficient run time.
Nutrition data (nutrition field) is present on most recipes but absent on some recently published ones; the field is null in those cases.
The sitemap updates frequently (new recipes appear within hours of publication). Re-running with maxItems: 0 against the latest sub-sitemaps will catch additions.
