Find Step-by-Step Recipes from API Ninjas Recipe API in an n8n AI Agent
## Who's it for
Makers who want a tiny, understandable AI agent that turns chat prompts into real recipe results.
Great for demos, tutorials, or as a starting point for tool-using agents.
## How it works / What it does
- Listens for chat messages and keeps a short recent-history window.
- Uses a simple system hint to prefer the recipe tool for cooking queries.
- Calls API Ninjas recipe endpoint and returns ingredients and instructions.
- Replies concisely with a title, bullet ingredients, and numbered steps.
## How to set up
1. Add your OpenAI API key to the OpenAI Chat node.
2. Add your API Ninjas key to the HTTP Request node used by the recipe tool.
3. Deploy the chat trigger and send a message like "find me a pasta recipe."
## Requirements
- n8n environment
- OpenAI API key
- API Ninjas API key for the recipe endpoint
## How to customize the workflow
- Swap API Ninjas for any GE or POS recipe API without changing the agent pattern.
- Save results to a database or Google Sheets for later use.
- Add optional fields like servings, time, or nutrition.
- Introduce basic guardrails for tone, length, or ingredient safety checks.
