Recipe Feed

This endpoint provides a Feed that can contain Recipes by default and other types of items on demand.

Pagination

We use cursor-based pagination, you can read more about it here: cursor pagination.

Each request without specifying cursors will create a new feed thread with a unique id which you can find in response. While you use cursors you will traverse by one thread and there will not be any duplicates. We do not ensure that you will get the same items in different feed threads.

You can get the same feed using a feed identifier in query parameters (id=...).

It can be useful when you want to iterate by the same feed (e.g. When a user updates page or opens app shortly after the first visit.).

The feed is created for 12 hours after that, you will get a new feed, even if you use the same feed identifier.

Personalization

If user token is used, user properties will be considered in resulting feed e.g diets and avoidances.

Also, we consider region in feed items calculations. Country code will be retrieved from user settings if a user token is used. Or you can force country in feed request parameters.

Feed content

We provide different types of feed content. By default, it is the only recipebut you can specify other types in parameter allowedTypes.

Tags

Feed items can be marked with tag:

• healthy- healthy recipes

• dinners- recipes for dinners

• easyDinners- quick and easy recipes for dinners

• trending - trending recipes based on recipe impressions

Feed groups

A feed can include groups that users can navigate to and view content inside.

{
  "type": "group",
  "key": {
    "id": "category::appetizers-and-snacks"
  },
  "display": {
    "displayName": "Appetizers and Snacks",
    "images": [
      "..."
    ]
  },
  "content": {
    "id": "appetizers-and-snacks",
    "displayName": "Appetizers and Snacks",
    "groupType": "category"
  },
  "filterKey": "category::appetizers-and-snacks"
}

To get content for the specific group you need to provide filterKeyin feed query param alongside feed id.

Example:

filterKey=category::bbq-and-grilling

(filterKey should be extracted from group filterKeyfield)

Example of feed group usage:

The goal is to show items related to one specific group.

Step 1: You can get a regular feed with groups:

curl "https://graph.whisk.com/v1/feed?limit=5&allowedContent=recipe,group" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Token <Access-Token>"

Step 2: If the user clicks on one of the group items in the feed, you can get specific feed for items related to this group. All you need is pass field filterKeyfrom group FeedElement into filterKeyparameter of a feed request.

curl "https://graph.whisk.com/v1/feed?limit=5&id=asd080345473dda9394e6e76d92c369u&filterKey=category::bbq-and-grilling" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Token <Access-Token>"

Tip: Feed API can be used to implement rotation for featured recipes. You can specify the size of the feed and rotate items using provided cursors in the required timing.
