Mealie
Mealie is an open-source (AGPL-3.0), self-hosted recipe manager, meal planner and shopping-list application built on a FastAPI REST backend and a Vue frontend. Every feature in the UI is driven by the same public REST API: recipe CRUD and import-by-URL scraping, AI-assisted recipe creation, cookbooks, meal plans and mealplan rules, shopping lists and list items with cross-application "extras" key/value pairs, households and groups with multi-purpose labels, food/unit/tool organizers, a public "Explore" surface for unauthenticated browsing of shared content, scheduled webhooks, Apprise-backed event notifications, and admin backup/maintenance operations. The instance publishes its own OpenAPI 3.1 document and interactive Swagger UI at /openapi.json and /docs, authenticates with long-lived bearer API tokens (plus OIDC and LDAP for user login), and shares a uniform pagination, filtering and ordering grammar across nearly every collection endpoint.
Mealie publishes 57 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Admin: About API, Admin: AI Providers API, Admin: Backups API, and 54 more. Tagged areas include Company, Recipes, Food, Meal Planning, and Shopping Lists.
The Mealie catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.
Mealie’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, sandbox, changelog, and 16 more developer resources.
