fatsecret Platform API Documentation
Description
Returns the favorite recipes for the specified user.
Why are we introducing this version?
Updated json array formatting so it is consistent when one object is returned.
Parameters
URL / Method
URL Based Integration
As part of a transition away from parameterized methods as actions, we have introduced a URL based structure with a relative HTTP Method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
You may continue to use method based calls however we recommend updating to path based calls for new integrations.
Please refer to our guide here for additional information
