Developer API
Build integrations with our API
Access your recipes and data programmatically with our REST API.
Build on RecipeSaint
The RecipeSaint Developer API gives you programmatic access to everything the site can do: search over a million recipes, manage your bookmarks, and build shopping lists — from your own scripts, apps, and automations.
REST API v1
A clean, versioned JSON API authenticated with personal access tokens you mint yourself under Account → API Tokens. Scoped permissions (read / create / update / delete) let you issue least-privilege tokens per integration, and every request is rate-limited per account.
- Recipe search — the same hybrid semantic + keyword search that powers the site
- Saved recipes — list, bookmark, and remove, with AI-extracted precise ingredients
- Shopping lists — create lists, add items, check things off
Connect your AI assistant (MCP)
RecipeSaint also speaks the Model Context Protocol. Point Claude or any MCP-capable assistant at your account with the same API token and it can find recipes, save the ones you like, and put the ingredients on your shopping list — all in conversation.
