The Spoonacular REST API is an excellent service for planning meals and deciding recipes according to a nutritional diet plan. It has several use cases due to its vast food database. This API is a perfect fit if you are planning to integrate it with a recipe application, meal planner, diet tracker, or even a virtual personal assistant.

You will start this course by first creating your account with Spoonacular and getting the necessary credentials to make API calls. Next, you will learn how to use the node-fetch library to fetch data for recipes, ingredients, and grocery products. Then, you’ll learn to use Spoonacular’s various interactive widgets. You’ll finish the course by getting hands-on experience with a React application integrated with the Spoonacular API with a Node Express server as the backend.

By the end of this course, you will have gained mastery over using the Spoonacular API with JavaScript. You’ll also be able to integrate the Spoonacular API in your next project.
