| Method | API | Path | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| POST | /v1/rakuten-recipe/find-popular-recipes | Finds the Rakuten Recipe category that best matches a dish name and returns its top-ranked recipes in one call. Use when the user asks for popular recipes for a dish, such as カレー or 肉じゃが, and has no category_id. Do NOT use to browse categories; use rakuten-recipe:list-recipe-categories. Returns matched_category, up to 5 other_matches, and up to 4 recipes; matched_category is null and recipes is empty when no category name contains the query. Queries must be in Japanese. Includes the Rakuten credit to show with the results in attribution. | |
| POST | /v1/rakuten-recipe/get-recipe-ranking | Gets the top-ranked Rakuten Recipe recipes overall or in one category, with title, ingredients, cooking time, cost range, photos, author, and page URL. Use when the user asks for popular or recommended recipes and you know the category_id; omit category_id for the overall ranking. Do NOT use to look up a category by dish name; use rakuten-recipe:search-recipe-categories or rakuten-recipe:find-popular-recipes. Returns category_id and up to 4 recipes; Rakuten does not return more than 4. Titles, descriptions, ingredients, and nicknames are member-written text. Includes the Rakuten credit to show with the results in attribution. | |
| POST | /v1/rakuten-recipe/list-recipe-categories | Lists Rakuten Recipe categories by level (large, medium, small) or as the direct children of a category, with their composite category_id, name, path, and page URL. Use when the user wants to browse the category tree or needs the children of a known category. Do NOT use to find a category by dish name; use rakuten-recipe:search-recipe-categories instead. Do NOT use to get recipes; use rakuten-recipe:get-recipe-ranking with a category_id. Returns categories and a summary with total_count, page, and page_count. Category names are Japanese. Includes the Rakuten credit to show with the results in attribution. | |
| POST | /v1/rakuten-recipe/search-recipe-categories | Finds Rakuten Recipe categories whose Japanese name contains the query, ranked with exact matches first, then the closest names. Use when the user names a dish or ingredient, such as カレー, ハンバーグ, or 鶏むね肉, and you need its category_id. Hiragana, katakana, and half-width spellings match each other. Do NOT use to get recipes directly; use rakuten-recipe:find-popular-recipes or pass a category_id to rakuten-recipe:get-recipe-ranking. Returns categories with category_id, level, and path_names, plus total_count. Queries must be in Japanese; English dish names will not match. Includes the Rakuten credit to show with the results in attribution. |
