Every recipe consists of products, of course. A recipe calling for Greek yogurt, walnuts, and honey could be made with organic Stonyfield Greek yogurt, Diamond of California walnuts, and Aunt Sue's honey. Moreover, most people don't cook every single meal they eat from scratch - a frozen pizza or canned soup is bound to make an appearance at some point. For these reasons, we wanted the spoonacular API to include a database of branded grocery products.
Product-related API endpoints include:
