Bring! Recipe Browser CLI

Overview

CLI for browsing Bring! recipe inspirations. Browse-only tool - the Bring! Inspirations API does not provide ingredient lists.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • User wants to discover Bring! recipes
  • Browsing recipe inspirations
  • Viewing recipe metadata (names, authors, types, images, links)
  • Filtering recipes by tags (all, mine)
  • Need JSON output of recipes for scripting

Don't use when:

  • User wants to add ingredients to shopping list (API limitation)
  • Managing shopping lists directly
  • Need full recipe details with ingredients

Quick Reference

| Command | Purpose | |---------|---------| | bring-recipes list | Browse recipe inspirations (default) | | bring-recipes filters | Show available filter tags | | bring-recipes list --filter mine | Show your personal recipes | | bring-recipes list --json | JSON output for scripting |

Environment variables:

export BRING_EMAIL="your@email.com"
export BRING_PASSWORD="yourpassword"

Installation

cd skills/bring-recipes
npm install

Common Workflows

Browse all recipes:

node index.js list --limit 10

Filter your recipes:

node index.js list --filter mine

Get JSON for scripting:

node index.js list --json | jq -r '.[] | .content.name'

Check available filters:

node index.js filters

Flags Reference

| Flag | Description | |------|-------------| | -f, --filter <tags> | Filter tags: all, mine | | --limit <n> | Max recipes (default: 10) | | --json | JSON output | | --no-color | Disable colors | | -q, --quiet | Minimal output | | -v, --verbose | Debug output |

API Limitations

⚠️ Critical: The Bring! getInspirations() API returns only metadata:

  • ✅ Recipe names, authors, types
  • ✅ Images, links, tags, like counts
  • ❌ Ingredient lists (not provided)

This is a Bring! API limitation, not a CLI bug. The CLI is designed for browsing and discovering recipes only.

Recipe Types

  • TEMPLATE - Bring! templates (e.g., "Sunday Brunch")
  • RECIPE - Parsed recipes from partners
  • POST - Promotional content

Common Mistakes

Expecting ingredients: The API does not provide ingredient lists. Use the CLI for discovery, then manually add items.

Looking for seasonal filters: The API has no seasonal tags. Only "all" and "mine" filters are available.

Assuming all recipes have names: POST types may be "Untitled Recipe" - this is normal API behavior.

Implementation Notes

  • Uses node-bring-api v2.0.2+ with getInspirations() API
  • Requires Node.js 18.0.0+
  • No seasonal filtering (API limitation)
  • Browse-only functionality
  • JSON mode available for automation

Real-World Use

  • Recipe discovery: Browse what's available in Bring!
  • Inspiration browsing: See trending recipes and templates
  • Personal collection: Filter your saved recipes
  • Integration: JSON output for external tools
