📋 What the Delish Scraper does

• Searches Delish.com for recipes matching your query
• Extracts structured data from JSON-LD on each recipe page
• Falls back to page body data for recipes with incomplete structured data
• Returns complete recipe records: ingredients, instructions, timing, servings, calories, tags
• Handles pagination across multiple search result pages
• Respects free/paid usage limits automatically

💡 Why it matters: Delish is one of the most-visited food sites in the US, published by Hearst. Their recipes are professionally tested and written by trained chefs and food editors. This data is significantly higher quality than crowdsourced recipe sites.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: author, calories, category, cookTime, description, imageUrl, ingredients, instructions, prepTime, publishedAt, rating, results, reviewCount, scrapedAt, servings, tags, title, totalTime, url. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
