Improvado Recipes API

Work with pre-built recipes that automate common data pipeline workflows. Recipes are templated workflows that combine multiple API operations into reusable patterns. They simplify common tasks like: - Setting up end-to-end data pipelines (source → extract → load → destination) - Configuring multiple related extracts at once - Applying best-practice configurations Recipes accelerate implementation by providing proven patterns for common use cases. **Automated recipes have moved to v3.1.** They are documented under [Automated Recipes](/api/automated-recipes), which is where new integrations should start. The `/api/v3/automated-recipe-templates/` and `/api/v3/automated-recipes/` operations in this tag are deprecated. They keep working until they are switched off, and we will announce the date in advance. See [Moving recipes to v3.1](/recipes-migration) for what changes between the two versions, and [Deploying recipes](/recipes) for the current flow. **Two operations in this tag are not automated recipes and are not deprecated:** `List agency recipes` (`GET /api/v3/recipes/`) and `Enable recipe in a workspace` (`POST /api/v3/workspaces/{id}/recipes`). They use Basic authentication, work with the recipes available to your agency rather than with automated recipes, and have no v3.1 replacement.

  title: Improvado Embedded API v3 Recipes API
  version: 3.0.0
  description: 'Improvado Embedded API V3 provides programmatic access to data extraction, transformation, and loading capabilities.


    ## Authentication


    This API supports multiple authentication methods depending on the endpoint:


    ### Basic Authentication

    Used for workspace-agnostic operations such as:

    - Creating access tokens (`POST /api/v3/token`)

    - Listing workspaces (`GET /api/v3/workspaces`)

    - Managing workspaces (`POST /api/v3/workspaces`, `GET /api/v3/workspaces/{id}`, `PUT /api/v3/workspaces/{id}`)

    - Getting iframe URLs (`POST /api/v3/get_iframe_url`)

    - Listing available recipes (`GET /api/v3/recipes/`)

    etc.


    **Format**: `Authorization: Basic `


    ### Bearer Token Authentication

    Used for workspace-scoped operations after obtaining a token from `/api/v3/token`. The token is scoped to a specific workspace.


    **Format**: `Authorization: Bearer `


    ### Cookie Authentication

    Alternative to Bearer token for browser-based integrations. When using cookie authentication, you must include the workspace ID in the request header.


    **Cookie**: `dts_session_id=`


    **Required Header**: `X-IM-WORKSPACE-ID: `


    ## Workspace Scoping


    Most API operations are workspace-scoped. After authenticating with Basic Auth, obtain a workspace-specific token using `POST /api/v3/token` with the desired `workspace_id`. This token provides access only to resources within that workspace, ensuring isolation between different customers or projects.


    ## Errors


    The automated recipe operations under `/api/v3.1/automated-recipe*` and

    `GET /api/v3.1/connections/{connection_id}/accounts/` return errors as

    `{"code": "...", "message": "...", "details": {...}}`. Branch on `code`, never on the

    message text. See Errors for the catalogue of codes and the shape of `details`.


    All other operations return errors as `{"detail": "error description"}`.'
