Third-party Services
Recipya uses the following third-party services to enhance the product.
SendGrid
SendGrid provides a cloud-based service that assists businesses with email delivery. They offer a free plan that allows you to send up to 100 emails per day.
Within Recipya, the email module is used for the following events:
- Send a confirmation email to a user who registered.
- Send a forgot password email
If none of these reasons persuade you to use this service, then leave the email.from and email.sendGridAPIKey fields
in the configuration file empty. No emails
will then be sent.
Azure AI Vision
Azure AI Vision is a unified service that offers innovative computer vision capabilities. It gives apps the ability to analyze images, read text, and detect faces with prebuilt image tagging, text extraction with optical character recognition (OCR), and responsible facial recognition. Microsoft offers a free plan that allows you to perform 5000 transactions per month.
Within Recipya, this service is used to digitize recipes.
If you do not plan on digitizing paper recipes, then leave the integrations.azureComputerVision.resourceKey and
integrations.azureComputerVision.visionEndpoint fields in the configuration file
empty. This feature will then be disabled.
