RecipeAPI
RecipeAPI.io searches recipes and returns parsed ingredient lists, estimated nutrition, and step-by-step cooking instructions, offered as a metered SaaS with a 500-request/month free tier before paid plans apply. A live GET against the real gateway, recipeapi.io/api/v1/recipes, returned a genuine 401 'Invalid or missing API key' JSON error while carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, reconfirming both cors yes and API Key auth in the same probe.

- Get a key at the provider
- Send it on every request as a header
Authorization: <key> - The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
