Easily add recipes into your database by providing the url and mealie will automatically import the relevant data or add a family recipe with the UI editor.
Mealie also provides a secure API for interactions from 3rd party applications. **Why does my recipe manager need an API?** An API allows integration into applications like [Home Assistant]() that can act as notification engines to provide custom notifications based of Meal Plan data to remind you to defrost the chicken, marinade the steak, or start the CrockPot. See the section on [Meal Plan hooks](#hooks) for more information. Additionally, you can access any available API from the backend server. To explore the API spin up your server and navigate to http://yourserver.com/docs for interactive API documentation.
