TheMealDB Scraper

Searches meal recipes by name via the public TheMealDB API. No login, no proxy, no browser.

Input

Field	Type	Notes
`name`	string	Required. Meal name to search for, e.g. `pasta`.

Output

One row per matching meal: id, name, category, area (cuisine), instructions, ingredients (an array of "measure ingredient" strings), imageUrl.

Notes

TheMealDB stores each ingredient/measure pair as separate numbered fields (strIngredient1/strMeasure1 through 20, many blank); this Actor flattens the populated ones into one readable array.
A name with no matches throws — TheMealDB returns "meals": null for that case rather than an HTTP error.
