Input

SettingTypeRequiredDefaultWhat it does
mode string Yes search How to find recipes. Search by keyword is the simplest; URL and sitemap modes are best when you already know the pages.
searchQuery string No banana bread What to search for, e.g. `banana bread`, `vegan dinner`, or `chicken curry`.
site string No all Pick one site, or `all` to search every supported site. Search coverage varies by site; unsupported sites still work in byUrls/bySitemap modes.
recipeUrls array No ["https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/vie… Direct recipe-page URLs from any supported site or food blog. AllRecipes URLs are rejected as unsupported.
listingUrls array No [] Category, tag, or search-result pages. The actor extracts recipe links and follows page 2, 3, … where the site exposes a page parameter.
sitemapUrls array No [] Sitemap.xml URLs. The actor walks sitemap indexes and keeps recipe-looking URLs.
maxItems integer No 50 Hard cap on emitted recipe records.
maxPages integer No 2 For search and listing modes, how many result pages to read per site or listing URL.
minRating integer No – Drop recipes with a rating below this value on a 0–500 scale (400 = 4.0/5).
minRatingCount integer No – Drop recipes with fewer ratings than this.

SettingTypeRequiredDefaultWhat it does
maxTotalTimeMinutes integer No – Drop recipes whose prep + cook time exceeds this many minutes.
keywordIncludes string No – Drop recipes whose name and description do not contain this keyword.
proxy object No {"useApifyProxy":false} No proxy is needed for the supported sites. Enable Apify Proxy only if you want to route requests through your own Apify proxy groups.

Run it from code or an AI agent

The same run through the Apify API, with the example input. You need an Apify API token; the run is billed to your account at the Store price.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run_input = {
    "mode": "byUrls",
    "searchQuery": "banana bread",
    "site": "epicurious",
    "recipeUrls": [
        "https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/banana-bread"
    ],
    "listingUrls": [],
    "sitemapUrls": [],
    "maxItems": 1,
    "maxPages": 1,
    "proxy": {
        "useApifyProxy": False
    }
}

run = client.actor("vexaloom-labs/multi-site-recipe-and-nutrition-data-extractor").call(run_input=run_input)
if run is None:
    raise RuntimeError("The Actor run was not found.")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

pip install apify-client

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" });
const input = {
    "mode": "byUrls",
    "searchQuery": "banana bread",
    "site": "epicurious",
    "recipeUrls": [
        "https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/banana-bread"
    ],
    "listingUrls": [],
    "sitemapUrls": [],
    "maxItems": 1,
    "maxPages": 1,
    "proxy": {
        "useApifyProxy": false
    }
};

const run = await client.actor("vexaloom-labs/multi-site-recipe-and-nutrition-data-extractor").call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

npm install apify-client

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/vexaloom-labs~multi-site-recipe-and-nutrition-data-extractor/run-sync-get-dataset-items"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"mode":"byUrls","searchQuery":"banana bread","site":"epicurious","recipeUrls":["https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/banana-bread"],"listingUrls":[],"sitemapUrls":[],"maxItems":1,"maxPages":1,"proxy":{"useApifyProxy":false}}'

Waits for the run and returns the dataset items (runs over 300 seconds return HTTP 408; start an async run instead).

MCP (AI agents)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=vexaloom-labs/multi-site-recipe-and-nutrition-data-extractor",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Adds this Actor as a tool in an MCP client that takes a remote server URL (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) through Apify's hosted MCP server. OAuth sign-in also works without the header. Clients that only start local servers can wrap the URL with npx mcp-remote.

What a run costs

The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.

Apify planPer 1,00010,000 results100,000 results
Free plan$0.99$9.90$99
Starter plan$0.82$8.20$82
Scale plan$0.66$6.60$66
Business plan$0.49$4.90$49
  • Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
  • The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
  • Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
  • Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.
