The Food Scraping API for Real-Time Restaurant, Menu & Delivery Data

Call one endpoint and get back structured restaurant, menu, pricing, review and delivery data from any food ordering platform — no proxies to rotate, no headless browsers to run, no HTML to parse. Just a request and a clean JSON response.

What Is a Food Scraping API and How Does It Work?

A food scraping API is a hosted service that turns a restaurant, menu or search URL into structured, machine-readable data over a simple REST call. Instead of building and maintaining your own scraper — managing proxy rotation, headless browser rendering, CAPTCHA handling and HTML parsing — you send a request to our API and get back clean JSON, ready to drop into your application, pipeline or database. It's real-time restaurant and menu data extraction as a service, built for developers who want the data without owning the scraping infrastructure.

01

Send a request

Call a REST endpoint with a restaurant, search or menu URL and your API key.

02

We handle the crawl

Proxy rotation and headless rendering run behind the scenes on our infrastructure.

03

Data gets parsed

Site-specific parsers extract restaurant, menu, review and delivery fields automatically.

04

Response is validated

Fields are type-checked and normalized into a consistent schema across platforms.

05

JSON comes back

You get a structured response synchronously, via webhook, or in a bulk export.

Rotating residential and datacenter proxies with automatic CAPTCHA and block handling.

GEO

Geo & radius targeting

Pass a city, postal code or delivery radius to see exactly what a local diner would see.

WH

Get notified the instant a tracked menu, rating or availability status changes.

CC

Concurrent requests

Configurable concurrency limits so bulk jobs scale without hitting your own bottlenecks.

SDK

SDKs & no-code options

Client libraries for common languages, plus no-code and low-code integration paths.

QA

Schema validation & QA

Automated checks catch broken selectors or malformed responses before they reach you.

Top Performing Food & Restaurant Domains Covered by the API

From global delivery giants to the fastest-growing regional apps across the Middle East, Latin America and Asia — the API already has ready-built parsers for the domains that drive the most food-ordering traffic and order volume worldwide.

Food Scraping API Endpoints & Request Types

A small, predictable set of REST endpoints covers restaurant lookup, menu extraction, search and delivery monitoring.

POST/v1/restaurantFetch structured data for a single restaurant URL — rating, hours, delivery details and full attribute set.
POST/v1/menuFetch the full menu for a restaurant, including dish-level pricing, categories and dietary tags.
POST/v1/searchSearch restaurants or dishes by location, cuisine or keyword and return a structured result list.
POST/v1/monitorRegister a restaurant or dish for scheduled availability and pricing monitoring with webhook notifications.
GET/v1/monitor/:idRetrieve the latest tracked data and change history for a monitored listing.
POST/v1/bulkSubmit a batch of restaurant URLs for asynchronous processing, with results delivered to storage or a webhook.
GET/v1/status/:job_idCheck the status and progress of an asynchronous crawl or bulk export job.

Sample Request & Response

Every response follows the same predictable JSON structure, regardless of which platform the data was pulled from.

POST /v1/search
$ curl https://api.webfusiondata.com/v1/search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $WFD_API_KEY" \
-d '{"platform": "uber_eats", "query": "pizza", "city": "Austin"}'
 
{
  "query": "pizza",
  "result_count": 36,
  "results": [
    {
      "name": "Basil & Ember Kitchen",
      "rating": 4.7,
      "delivery_fee": 2.50,
      "is_open": true
    }
  ]
}

Authentication, Rate Limits & Concurrency

Every account gets a bearer-token API key, a sandbox environment for testing, and clear, predictable limits so you can plan capacity with confidence.

KEY

Bearer token authentication

Every request is authenticated with an API key passed in the Authorization header.

RL

Transparent rate limits

Per-minute request limits scale with your plan, with clear headers on remaining quota.

SB

Sandbox environment

Test integrations against sample responses before spending live request credits.

Monitor Every Request From a Live API Dashboard

Every account includes a dashboard showing request volume, latency, success rate and job status in real time — so you can watch usage and debug integrations without digging through logs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is using a food scraping API legal?
The API collects only publicly available page data and applies rate limits designed not to disrupt target sites. We're glad to walk through compliance specifics for your use case before you integrate.
Do I need to manage proxies or headless browsers myself?
No. Proxy rotation, browser rendering and CAPTCHA handling are all built into the API — you send a request and get back structured data.
What response formats are supported?
JSON is the default response format for all endpoints. Bulk export jobs can also be delivered as CSV or XLSX.
Is there a sandbox or free tier for testing?
Yes, every account includes a sandbox environment with sample responses so you can test your integration before spending live request credits.
What are the rate limits and how does concurrency work?
Rate limits and concurrent-request allowances scale with your plan. Every response includes headers showing your remaining quota for the current window.
Can I request a custom parser for a platform that isn't listed?
Yes, custom parser development is available on higher-tier plans. Send us the platform and the fields you need and we'll scope the build.
Is the API compliant with data protection regulations?
Our infrastructure and data handling practices are built with GDPR and standard data-protection principles in mind. We can provide details during onboarding for teams with specific compliance requirements.
