King Arthur Baking Recipe Scraper

Free plan limit: Free-plan users can receive up to 5 result records per run. Paid-plan and local/unknown runs retain the Actor's existing limits.

Scrape public King Arthur Baking recipe pages into clean, machine-readable recipe records for meal planning, baking research, content analysis, and recipe databases.

Extracted fields

Each dataset item includes the recipe name, description, author, category, keywords, ingredients, optional ordered instructions, prep/cook/total times, yield, aggregate rating, image URLs, source URL, timestamp, and extraction warnings.

Inputs

Use a direct recipe URL for the most deterministic run. You can also provide public /recipes/ collection URLs or search terms such as sourdough and chocolate cake. The default input targets a public Basic Sourdough Bread recipe and returns up to 10 records. Only King Arthur Baking URLs are accepted; private pages, shopping pages, and unrelated websites are outside the contract.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. These are the current Apify Store event prices:

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
apify-default-dataset-item	$0.003	Recipe record — One schema-valid King Arthur Baking recipe record written to the default dataset.
apify-actor-start	$0.0001	Actor Start — Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event). — Charged once per run.

Apify platform usage for this Actor run is included alongside the event prices above; no separate per-run platform-usage fee is passed to users.

This covers Apify platform usage for this Actor run. Other Apify products or usage outside this Actor run may still follow your account plan.

Reliability and limitations

The Actor uses a single, bounded Playwright session because the target may return a browser client challenge to plain HTTP clients. It does not bypass CAPTCHAs, authentication, paywalls, or access controls. If the target returns a client challenge, the run reports a blocked diagnostic and writes no fabricated recipe records. Structured JSON-LD is the primary extraction source, so fields that the source page does not publish are returned as null or an empty array.

Compliance

Use the Actor only for public pages and in accordance with King Arthur Baking’s terms, robots guidance, and applicable law. Respect copyright and do not republish recipe text beyond your lawful use case.
