recipal_list_recipe_ingredients | The formula of one recipe: every recipe ingredient line with ingredient id, name, quantity, unit, waste %, total grams and the display name per label language. Use the line ids with recipal_update_recipe_ingredient. GET /recipes/{id}/recipe_ingredients. |

recipal_get_label | A recipe's saved nutrition-facts label settings (format, which rows show, styling) plus the computed nutrition claims (e.g. Fat Free) and ingredient list per language. The token is the last part of the recipe's primary_label path (/api/v1/labels/{token}). Optionally compute claims and ingredient lis |
recipal_start_label_render | WRITE (render job): start rendering a recipe's nutrition label as a PDF or PNG and return the render status with a token.

recipal_get_label_render_status | Status of a label render started with recipal_start_label_render: waiting, processing, ready or error. When ready, url is a temporary presigned download link. Poll about once a second; each poll counts toward the weekly request limit. GET /recipes/label_renders/{token}. |

recipal_update_recipe | WRITE: change fields of one recipe; fields you leave out stay unchanged. package_yield_quantity "default" sets the package weight to the total weight of the current ingredients (no moisture loss accounted for); ingredient_list "default" rebuilds the label ingredient list in descending weight order. |
recipal_scale_recipe | WRITE: create a NEW recipe as a copy of an existing one, with every ingredient quantity and the yield multiplied by scale_amount (1 = plain copy; per-serving nutrition stays the same; scaling down cannot take packages below 1).
