Spoonacular Recipe API

Spoonacular is a popular food API.

Create a free Spoonacular to get your API key. You can view your API key in the Spoonacular Console.

Browser Request

Use your API to visit the https://api.spoonacular.com/recipes/complexSearch?apiKey=API_KEY URL where API_KEY should be your API key from the console.

HTTPoison Request

Use HTTPoison to retrieve the same JSON data from the https://api.spoonacular.com/recipes/complexSearch?apiKey=API_KEY URL you visited in the browser. Then use Poison to decode the JSON response into an Elixir data structure.

Commit Your Progress

DockYard Academy now recommends you use the latest Release rather than forking or cloning our repository.

Run git status to ensure there are no undesirable changes. Then run the following in your command line from the curriculum folder to commit your progress.

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "finish Spoonacular Recipe API exercise"
$ git push
