FilmDev API

FilmDev has a very simple API - currently it only supports getting a single recipe in JSON format.
In future it may be extended to provide more functionality.

The API offers a REST-style interface returning JSON.

You must set a HTTP Accept header for application/json (setting it to */* also works)

The response will be returned as UTF-8 data - make sure your application can handle this.
Many recipes contain non-ASCII text, you can use them for testing.

• Don't: Use the API to download all recipes in batch mode, if you want to do this please contact me first.
• Don't: Make a heavy number of calls without some sort of delay inbetween.
• Don't: Abuse the data. Recipes are shared in good faith for people to use to develop film. Please don't subvert this intention.
