This week, I've worked on an API on our backend. The API is supposed to bring function towards the Search Bar part of our recipe project. The API is in a POST method format, this means that a user has to input something into our backend to get a response. I made the api take in a "item" in the body, which is then inputed into a function I've created that request recipes based on a query which is the inputed "item" from the POST api. The function returns a list of different recipes (parsed in JSON), which then is returned in the API for a response.
Testing
This is me testing the API, by inputing "tomato", getting a response with recipes with "tomato" in them.
Code
This is the code I've developed that completes this task
