The Search Recipes endpoint (GET http://api.yummly.com/v1/api/recipes) returned recipe matches as JSON with optional filters combined via AND - free-text query (q), maxResult / start paging, and facets such as allowedIngredient/excludedIngredient, allowedCuisine, allowedCourse, allowedAllergy, allowedDiet, allowedHoliday, maxTotalTimeInSeconds, and nutrition/taste ranges. Authenticated with _app_id and _app_key query parameters.
