## Getting a Token
|

## Key Components
|
|
|
|
### Exploring Your Local API
|
|
On your local installation you can access interactive API documentation that provides `curl` examples and expected results. This allows you to easily test and interact with your API to identify places to include your own functionality. You can visit the documentation at `http://mealie.yourdomain.com/docs` or see the example at the [Demo Site](https://mealie-demo.hay-kot.dev/docs){:target="_blank"}
|
|
|
|
### Recipe Extras
|
|
Recipes extras are a key feature of the Mealie API. They allow you to create custom json key/value pairs within a recipe to reference from 3rd part applications. You can use these keys to contain information to trigger automation or custom messages to relay to your desired device.
|
|
|
|
For example you could add `{"message": "Remember to thaw the chicken"}` to a recipe and use the webhooks built into mealie to send that message payload to a destination to be processed.
