I’m trying to call the Get ingredient substitutes by ingredient name API using the following URL: (as per the example on mashape)

https://spoonacular-recipe-food-nutrition-v1.p.mashape.com/food/ingredients/substitutes?ingredientname=butter

However it errors as follows saying it couldn’t find an ingredient with that ID, this is the same if you use the test functionality on the mashape website. Response shown by mashape below:

{
“status”: “failure”,
“message”: “Could not find any ingredient by that id.”
}

It would appear it’s searching on IDs rather than name.
