Find Recipes on the Go: Mobile Application Using REST API  
  Authors : Ritika Kaushal; Prof. Suprava Patnaik

 

REST APIs provided easy exchange of data over the internet using certain standards and protocols. This work presents the implementation of a mobile system with the primary objective to aid to an easy categorical search for recipes on the go. This mobile application system was developed using Android Studio. Stateless software architecture was used to make this system light and quick in comparison to such an application with a locally stored database. This paper summarizes the implementation details and presents results of the system in practice. An application prototype was also created demonstrating the mentioned concept.

The application has been developed using Android studio and REST APIs. The application is extremely suitable for everyone always on the go. It is extremely beneficial in making healthy food choices. The application developed is primarily to ease out the trouble of finding a perfect recipe for a 'Sunday brunch' or a 'Tuesday dinner'. The application provides a list of 500+ ingredients to choose from and hence can come handy for every meal that's to be cooked. The implementations in the feature would help eradicate the shortcomings of the application at the moment.
