-# Recipe-AI
+Recipe-AI Web
+==============
 
+This app takes a TikTok or Instagram share link, resolves it to a direct video, uploads the video to OpenAI, and asks the model to return only:
+
+- Ingredients
+- Prep steps
+- Cooking steps
+
+It uses environment variables for keys and optional RapidAPI resolvers.
+
+requires ffmpeg on server
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1) Create your environment file:
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env.local
+# set OPENAI_API_KEY, and optional RAPIDAPI_* values
+```
+
+2) Run the development server:
+
+```bash
+npm run dev
+```
+
+Open [http://localhost:3000/recipe](http://localhost:3000/recipe) to use the analyzer.
+
+### API
+
+- `POST /api/analyze` with JSON body `{ "url": "<share link>" }` returns `{ platform, analysis }` where `analysis` contains `ingredients`, `prep_steps`, `cooking_steps`.
+
+### Notes
+
+- The app includes first-party scrapers for TikTok and Instagram (HTML parsing of embedded JSON/meta). No RapidAPI is required.
+- Resolution of direct video URLs is still best-effort; platforms change often. RapidAPI is optional as a fallback.
+- OpenAI costs apply for file uploads and analysis; keep videos short.
