# Get Meals
Our [API spec](https://api.whisk.com/spec/#/MealPlanAPI) clearly shows that each endpoint has two versions - one with `meal_plan_id` and one without.
`GET` `https://api.whisk.com/mealplan/v2/:meal_plan_id/meal`
The `meal_plan_id` is optional - the endpoint will return the same result whether it is provided or not.
#### Path Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
| ----------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| meal\_plan\_id | string | Optional meal-plan identifier. No need to specify if API requested with UserToken |
| period.from.year | integer | |
| period.from.month | integer | |
| period.from.day | integer | |
| period.to.year | integer | |
| period.to.month | integer | |
| period.to.day | integer | |
| fields | array | Additional recipe fields to include in response. Requesting less fields will reduce response size and improve time to response |

It's important to note that the `meal_plan_id` is derived from the user’s ID. This is because Whisk supports a single meal plan for each user at this time. Multiple meal plans will be supported in future versions. Therefore, The user ID is extracted using the OAuth token provided with each endpoint header, as described above.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.whisk.com/api/meal-plans/meal/meal-plan-management.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
