Edamam Shopping List API

The *Shopping List API* provides aggregation of shopping item quantities over one or more ingredient lists, and optional referral to external shopping services. A `shopping-list` call may be issued on a recipe preparation plan, e.g. for recipes assigned to a meal plan's slots, to obtain total shopping quantities for the products involved. Each item in the plan may be scaled individually for the shopping list by indicating the planned consumption as a number of servings; in the absence of such indication, consumption (and therefore preparation) of the complete output of the recipe will be assumed. Both recipes and directly consumable foodstuffs are supported as items in the plan.
