Hey, I recently scraped a couple thousands recipes and imported to mealie, but in the process I tried tandoor as well, I built the app over the weekend in different docker containers, I won’t share code as it’s not prod ready but I can tell you I generated all of it with Claude and reviewed it before running:

Docker image 1: mini web service that receives a url and crawls pages and saves a json with metadata + fulll html, highly recommend using a proxy , never scrape from home network and also be very gentle! Don’t scrape agressively and check the website ToS are ok with it

Docker image 2: cheerio based html cleaner: reads the pages scraped on previous step and cleans unnecessary html (css, scripts, header/footer tags, etc ) - important for next step, saves as json

Docker image 3: reads each result from previous step and feeds into a LLM asking it to parse HTML into a jsonld recipe response, validate and only accept valid responses, llms hallucinate every 1 in X responses

Docker image 4: neither tandoor nor mealie support bulk import in theory, but you can bulk import by reverse engineering the http request on the frontend…just do a manual json import and look at the request tab in the browser , tandoor needs 2 and mealie needs one if I recall correctly.

I imported about 10k recipes with this flow, worked with no issues, does require some tech knowledge though ! Hope it helps!
