I'm building an app using a free Southeast Asian API (no auth needed).

API: TheMealDB ~ keyless recipe database
Provider: TheMealDB
Endpoint: GET https://www.themealdb.com/api/json/v1/1
It returns JSON.

Source: TheMealDB (https://www.themealdb.com/api.php)
Source type: Curated source
Endpoint type: Provider API base URL
Integration difficulty: Copy-paste ready
Last checked: 2026-06-29
Production caveat: Still handle empty rows, schema changes, pagination, stale coverage, and temporary upstream failures.

Help me fetch this and build a simple page that displays it nicely. Include basic production safeguards for errors, empty responses, schema changes, caching, and rate limits.
