description: Yummly is a recipe and food discovery platform (yummly.com) offering semantic and visual recipe search, personalized
  recommendations, shopping lists, and guided cooking. Founded in 2009 (Redwood City, CA), Yummly was acquired by Whirlpool
  Corporation in May 2017 and operated as a wholly owned subsidiary tied to Whirlpool's smart-kitchen strategy. Yummly historically
  ran a well-known public Recipe API (developer.yummly.com) exposing recipe search, recipe details, and metadata endpoints.
  That developer program was DEPRECATED - it stopped accepting new signups and was wound down (commonly cited end date of
  September 30, 2019), and the developer.yummly.com developer portal and api.yummly.com endpoints are no longer available.
  There is no public Yummly developer API accepting new registrations as of this cataloging (2026-07-03); the APIs below are
  documented as historical / modeled for archival and migration reference only.
