What a food scraping API actually does

Instead of manually opening restaurant pages across delivery apps, you send a request β€” a restaurant URL, a cuisine or location search, or a specific menu page β€” and get back clean, structured data covering everything on it: menu items, prices, modifiers, availability, delivery fees, and ratings. The app rendering, proxy rotation, and menu-layout parsing all happen behind the API; you just call an endpoint and receive data.

Built for teams that watch the food delivery market for a living

Core capabilities

Menu item extraction

Pull a restaurant's full menu β€” item names, descriptions, prices, categories, and modifiers.

Restaurant profile scraping

Cuisine type, location, hours, delivery radius, and overall ratings for a listing.

Delivery & fee data

Delivery fee, service fee, minimum order value, and estimated delivery time per listing.

Review & ratings extraction

Review text, star ratings, and recurring food-quality or delivery-experience mentions.

Bulk & scheduled jobs

Submit thousands of restaurant URLs at once, or set a recurring refresh interval.

Historical menu & price tracking

Snapshot menus over time to see what was added, removed, or repriced.

The full data-field set

Field availability varies slightly by platform. Anything outside this standard set β€” loyalty pricing, upsell prompts, kitchen prep-time estimates β€” can be added as a custom field.

Category Fields
Restaurant identity Restaurant name, restaurant URL, restaurant ID, cuisine type(s), chain/franchise flag, address, coordinates
Menu details Item name, item description, category/section, price, modifiers/add-ons, combo pricing, dietary tags (vegan, halal, gluten-free)

Call it from wherever you build

A single request returns a structured menu-item record. Below is the same call in three languages.

# Fetch a restaurant's menu
curl -X POST https://api.realdataapi.com/v1/food/menu \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://www.ubereats.com/store/example-restaurant"}'
import requests

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.realdataapi.com/v1/food/menu",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={"url": "https://www.ubereats.com/store/example-restaurant"}
)
data = resp.json()
print(data["items"][0]["price"])
const res = await fetch("https://api.realdataapi.com/v1/food/menu", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ url: "https://www.ubereats.com/store/example-restaurant" })
});
const data = await res.json();

Endpoint and key format above are illustrative β€” your onboarding call includes real credentials and the current endpoint reference.

How it works

01

Submit a request

A restaurant URL, cuisine search, location, or menu page β€” via API call or bulk upload.

02

We fetch the page

Rotating residential and datacenter IPs, app-aware rendering and CAPTCHA handling run behind the scenes.

03

Raw content is parsed

Menu sections, prices, and modifiers are mapped into a structured field set per platform.

04

Data is validated and normalized

Currencies, categories, and dietary tags are standardized across platforms.

05

Output is delivered

As JSON or CSV, or pushed to your webhook, cloud storage, or database.

Delivery formats & where the data lands

Format Best for
REST API (JSON) Live, on-demand lookups embedded in your application
CSV / Excel export Analysts and teams working in spreadsheets
Webhook push Event-driven pipelines reacting to menu or price changes
Cloud storage drop (S3, GCS, Azure Blob) Scheduled bulk feeds into a data warehouse
Direct database load Data landing straight into PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Snowflake

Commonly connected downstream to: Google Sheets, BigQuery, Snowflake, POS/menu-management tools, and Zapier-style automation.

Accuracy, scale, and how we handle data responsibly

Support & service commitments

Uptime targets, response times, and escalation paths are defined per contract and scale with plan tier β€” Growth and Enterprise engagements include priority support and a named point of contact. All plans include monitoring for extraction failures, so a broken feed gets flagged before it affects your downstream systems.

Getting started

01

Tell us what you need

The platforms, cities, and data fields that matter for your business.

02

We scope a pilot

Typically a sample dataset from 2–3 target restaurants or platforms within 2–5 business days.

03

Review the sample

Adjust fields or frequency until the data matches what you need.

04

Move to production

Your feed goes live on the delivery method and schedule you choose.

Country-wise coverage

We maintain dedicated scraping coverage across major regional food delivery platforms β€” Uber Eats and DoorDash in the US, Swiggy and Zomato in India, Deliveroo and Just Eat in the UK and Europe, Talabat in the Middle East, and more. Visit our country-specific food data pages for the full platform list in your target market.

We used to check five apps by hand every morning to see if our prices still matched. Now the feed just tells us the moment something's off across any location.

Questions, answered

How often do menu prices change, and can the feed keep up?

Refresh frequency is configurable down to hourly or real-time for fast-moving categories, so price and availability changes are picked up quickly.

Can you track multiple locations of the same restaurant chain separately?

Yes. Each location's listing is tracked and reported as its own record, so you can compare pricing and availability location by location.

Do you capture delivery fees and surge pricing?

Yes, where the platform exposes them β€” delivery fee, service fee, and surge or peak-pricing indicators are part of the standard field set.

What happens when a restaurant is temporarily closed on the platform?

The closure status is captured as a field on the record, so you can distinguish a temporary closure from an item simply being sold out.

Can you scrape a delivery platform that isn't on your list?

In most cases, yes β€” new platform integrations are scoped case by case depending on how the app or site is built.

How is pricing structured?

Pricing depends on the number of platforms, cities, and fields you need. Most engagements start with a scoped pilot so you can see real output before agreeing on a plan.
