# Recipes Scraper (`web.harvester/recipes-scraper`) Actor Powerful scraper can collect recipes from many websites, including popular ones like Cookpad, Allrecipes, Foodnetwork, Tasty, and many more. Download your data in any format (JSON, CSV, XML, RSS, HTML Table). Seamless integration with apps, reports, and databases. - **URL**: https://apify.com/web.harvester/recipes-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Web Harvester](https://apify.com/web.harvester) (community) - **Categories:** Automation - **Stats:** 334 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 11 bookmarks - **User rating**: 5.00 out of 5 stars ## Pricing $12.00/month + usage To use this Actor, you pay a monthly rental fee to the developer. The rent is subtracted from your prepaid usage every month after the free trial period. You also pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher Apify subscription plan you have.

They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## What does Recipe Scraper do? This powerful recipes scraper can collect recipes from a vast selection of recipe websites, including popular ones like [Cookpad](https://cookpad.com/), [Allrecipes](https://allrecipes.com/), [Foodnetwork](https://foodnetwork.com/), and [Tasty](https://tasty.co/). The scraper is designed to be fast and efficient. This scraper is perfect for anyone looking to collect recipes from multiple websites quickly and easily. ### Input example in JSON The actor will automatically detect if the url is supported or not ([supported websites](https://apify.com/web.harvester/recipes-scraper#supported-websites)), and if it's not supported it will attempt to scrape the recipe and will let you know by adding `wild_mode: true` to the output. ```json { "start_urls": [ "https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/23600/worlds-best-lasagna/" ] } ``` ### Recipe Scraper data output The output for the scrape is stored in the dataset. After the run is finished, you can download the dataset in various data formats (JSON, CSV, XML, RSS, HTML Table). #### Output example ```json { "author": "John Chandler", "category": "Dinner", "cook_time": "2 h 30 m", "cuisine": "Italian Inspired", "description": "This lasagna recipe from John Chandler is our most popular recipe!

This ensures that you can scrape recipes from a wide range of websites, even if they are not explicitly supported by the actor. Some websites are not explicitly supported. This means that the output may not be as clean as it would be if the website was explicitly supported. *** 101cookbooks.com 15gram.be 24kitchen.nl 365daysofbakingandmore.com 40aprons.com 750g.com
