Import a recipe from a URL
Import lets you bring an online recipe into Qooki by pasting a direct recipe URL.
Start an import
- Open Library.
- Click Add recipe.
- Switch to the Import from URL tab.
- Paste the full recipe URL.
- Click Import.
What happens next
Qooki fetches the source page, extracts the recipe content, and prepares an import review. If import is not enabled for your account or the URL is invalid, Qooki shows an error message instead of continuing.
Review the imported recipe
After a successful import request, Qooki opens the import review page.
- Read the imported title and description.
- Check the ingredients list.
- Check the steps.
- Verify servings, total time, and effort.
- If the imported content looks correct, click Import.
After confirming
- The imported recipe is published into your account.
- Qooki sends you to the recipe page.
- The recipe is also available from your library.
If the import looks wrong
- Go back to the library and try a cleaner source URL.
- Prefer URLs that point directly to a recipe page instead of a category or homepage.
- If a site blocks extraction or the recipe markup is incomplete, the imported draft may need follow-up editing after import.
Tips
- Import works best with public recipe pages that expose structured recipe data.
- Review every imported recipe before publishing. The import page is the place to catch missing steps, odd ingredient formatting, or mismatched servings.
