Cookidoo Thermomix

Interact with Cookidoo (Thermomix recipe platform) via the unofficial cookidoo-api. Search recipes, manage meal planning calendar, shopping lists, collections, and custom recipes. Use when the user mentions "Cookidoo", "Thermomix recipes", "meal planning", "Wochenplan", "Einkaufsliste Thermomix", "Cookidoo Rezepte", "was kochen", or wants to manage their Thermomix/Cookidoo account programmatically.

Cookidoo Integration

Unofficial integration with the Cookidoo platform (Vorwerk/Thermomix) using the cookidoo-api Python library.

Setup

No external dependencies — uses only Python stdlib (urllib, json). Works with Python 3.7+.

Environment variables (required)

COOKIDOO_EMAIL=[e-mail]
COOKIDOO_PASSWORD=secret

Optional config

COOKIDOO_COUNTRY=ch        # Default: ch (Switzerland)
COOKIDOO_LANGUAGE=de-CH    # Default: de-CH

Supported countries/languages: run get_country_options() / get_language_options() from the library.

All operations via scripts/cookidoo.py:

python scripts/cookidoo.py <command> [args]

Recipe IDs

Recipe IDs look like r59322 or r907015. Find them on cookidoo.ch/de URLs or via the API.

Authentication

The API uses OAuth password grant (same as the Thermomix app). Tokens refresh automatically per session. No API key needed — just Cookidoo account credentials.

Limitations

• No official API — based on reverse-engineering the Android app
• Recipe search not directly exposed in the library (browse on cookidoo.ch and extract IDs)
• Some features require an active Cookidoo Premium subscription (custom recipes, etc.)
• Rate limiting: be gentle, avoid rapid bulk requests
