Become a Python-based API Integrator

TheMealDB and TheCocktailDB APIs are REST APIs used to search food item recipes. This module is a hands-on guide for using these APIs. The module begins with an introduction to TheMealDB and TheCocktailDB APIs. We'll learn about the request and response structures of these APIs. Furthermore, we'll also learn about the different endpoints and how to use them. Then, we'll look at a demo application that will use these APIs to search for recipes. Lastly, we'll look at some recommendations and resources that will allow us to explore these APIs further.

Fetching Recipes with TheMealDB and TheCocktailDB APIs

TheMealDB API provides an endpoint with which we can search for the recipes for the meals using the database IDs. The base URI for this endpoint is `https://www.themealdb.com/api/json/v1/1/lookup.php`. 
>**Note:** The database IDs of the meals can be obtained using the endpoints that we discussed in the previous lesson. 
## Query parameter
This endpoint has only one query parameter, which is as follows:
