 * Hi, I am building some features on my site that use the WPRM rest api to fetch
   the recipe, but I noticed that I can fetch the recipes without auth. I would 
   imagine that this should require login to prevent recipe scraping. Also, what
   is the default permission level to add/update recipes through the API.

 * If a recipe is published on your website (and publicly visible there) it will
   be visible through the API as well.
 * Recipes are a regular custom post type that follows the post capabilities by 
   default. So someone who can create/edit posts can create/edit recipes.
