Recipes Scraper

Searches recipes from the free TheMealDB API. Returns ingredients with measures, step-by-step instructions, categories, and areas. Includes a random-recipe mode.

No API key required.

Modes

search — recipes by dish name
random — one random recipe
category — all meals in a category

Input

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`mode`	select	`search`	search / random / category
`query`	string	`chicken`	Dish name
`category`	string	`Seafood`	Category browse

Example input
