Thanks for the advice! Happy to share notes. I really like your site, has better features than mine (adjust Servings, Nutrition Facts by Ingredient). Question, do all the recipe APIs require showing the Source Link to give Credit? Just don't want to violate any terms.

No, you do not have to give attribution to a source if you simply copy the list of ingredients and steps. https://copyrightalliance.org/are-recipes-cookbooks-protecte....

However you should be careful not to copy the blog text or the _images_ from a recipe website, because those require you to get permission from the author for resharing.

Thanks, how were you able to get the images on your site? You got permission?

I plead the 5th.

We have it as a backlog item to take pictures of all the recipes as made in our kitchen, we just haven't gotten around to making a good lighting set up.

Gotcha! :)
