How this service works
Recipe ingredient parser and shopping list API: POST JSON {ingredients: [lines], servings?, targetServings?} (or GET ingredients=line|line). Returns per line name, canonicalId, qty, unit, metric (ml or g), category, optional/toTaste, prepNote, stated pack size, a typical pack hint, plus a merged shoppingList scaled to targetServings and unparsed lines. Deterministic, no outbound calls, no prices, nothing stored. Bad input (400) or nothing parsed (422): not charged.
Output
A structured JSON response with one object per ingredient line containing: canonical name, canonicalId, parsed quantity, unit, metric equivalent (ml or g), food category, optional/toTaste flags, prep note, stated pack size, and a typical pack size hint. Also includes a merged shoppingList scaled to targetServings if provided, and a list of any lines that could not be parsed.
Example use cases
Scale recipe for dinner party
“I have a pasta recipe that serves 4 — '200g spaghetti | 2 cloves garlic | 400g canned tomatoes | 1 tbsp olive oil | handful fresh basil'. Can you parse those ingredients and scale them up for 12 people so I can make a shopping list?”
Structured ingredient data for meal planner app
“Take these raw ingredient lines from the user's recipe and break each one down into name, quantity, unit, and food category: '3 medium carrots, peeled | 1 cup chicken broth | 2 tbsp soy sauce | 1 pinch salt to taste'.”
Identify optional and taste ingredients in a recipe
“Parse these ingredients and tell me which ones are optional or to-taste so I know what I must buy versus what's flexible: '1 cup rice | salt to taste | 1 optional chili | 2 tbsp butter | fresh parsley to garnish'.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://horizonpulse.dev/api/grocery/normalize?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need deterministic, offline ingredient parsing with no external API dependencies — ideal when you want consistent, reproducible results without price data or inventory lookups. Prefer it over LLM-based parsing when you need structured canonical IDs and metric normalization. Best for building shopping list generators, meal planners, or recipe scaling tools where cost per call matters and you need clean per-ingredient field breakdowns including category and pack hints.
Side effects
- 400 Bad Request: malformed JSON body or invalid query parameters (not charged)
- 422 Unprocessable Entity: no ingredient lines could be parsed from the input (not charged)
- Pipe-delimited GET format limited to 100 lines of 200 characters each — oversized input may be truncated or rejected
- Ambiguous ingredient names may produce low-confidence canonical matches
- Highly regional or obscure ingredient names may not have a known canonicalId or pack hint
