Complex search pricing

Question

When using the complex search with addRecipeInformation set to true and the number of results set to 10, my quota of request increase by 16 instead of 8. And that happens for any number of results requested, it’s always double the advertised price.

Please update me on this issue as I’m a paid customer and feel cheated by the unreliable pricing.

No problem, please let me know if you run into any other problems, if there are bugs we'll try to squash them quickly :)

OK I used Postman and it consumes only 3 requests.

Sorry I should have been more thorough when testing. I'll look into my code and see why it doubles the request.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry, I can't confirm that either, it consumes 3... Can you please make sure your application is not sending the same request twice? I checked your exact GET request (just exchanged ${encodedIngredients} with butter) and used Postman to validate what is going on.

This is my GET request:

https://spoonacular-recipe-food-nutrition-v1.p.mashape.com/recipes/searchComplex?addRecipeInformation=false&includeIngredients=${encodedIngredients}&limitLicense=false&number=10&offset=0&ranking=2

It consumes 6 requests instead of 3.

David · Answer

Hi, could you please send me the entire GET request you are sending. I was not able to reproduce that.

addRecipeInformation=true and number=10 => 3+5=8 requests in all my tests.
