Tandoor Recipes

Tandoor Recipes is an open-source, self-hostable recipe management, meal planning and shopping-list application built on Django and django-rest-framework, developed in Falkensee, Germany and offered both as freely self-hosted software (Docker, Kubernetes, Unraid, Synology, TrueNAS) and as a paid hosted service at app.tandoor.dev. Every feature of the product is driven by one REST API — recipes, steps, ingredients, foods, units, unit conversions, properties and nutrition, keywords, meal plans, meal types, shopping lists and shopping-list entries, supermarkets and supermarket category ordering, pantry inventory, recipe books, cook/view logs, spaces and households, user preferences, invite and share links, storage backends and external recipe sync, import/export of a dozen recipe formats, URL/image/PDF recipe scraping, an AI import and property-extraction pipeline routed through LiteLLM, and the Open Data food/unit/store reference database. The API is described by a live drf-spectacular OpenAPI 3.0.3 document served without authentication at /openapi/ on every instance, covering 244 paths and 462 operations across 244 component schemas, and it is the same contract the official Vue 3 frontend is generated against.

Tandoor Recipes publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network, including API Token Auth API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Recipes, Meal Planning, Food, Nutrition, and Shopping Lists.

Tandoor Recipes’ developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, support, pricing, signup flow, changelog, authentication, and 23 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/tandoor: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
