Culvers API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Culver's Restaurant Calendar API to extract supported public Culvers data as structured JSON. This page includes request parameters, cURL examples, response schema, error behavior, credit cost, and a Playground link for testing before integration.
/culvers/calendarReturns the full published schedule for one Culver's restaurant: the flavor of the day for every upcoming calendar date, plus the soups served on each date. Culver's publishes roughly a two-month forward window, and the schedule is genuinely per-restaurant -- two restaurants on the same date routinely feature different soups. slug comes from GET /culvers/directory. GET /culvers/store returns only today's and tomorrow's flavor; use this endpoint for the whole calendar. Developers commonly use this endpoint for data enrichment, monitoring, research dashboards, internal automation, and agent-native workflows that need repeatable structured public web data. Authentication uses the documented Crawlora headers, and usage is metered with the credit cost shown on this page.
Request parameters are generated from the active endpoint catalog. Required values must be sent before Crawlora can call the upstream public web data source.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| slug | string | Yes | Restaurant slug from /culvers/directory | ||
| x-api-key (header) | string | Yes | API key required |
curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/culvers/calendar" \ -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY"
Send your scraping API key in the x-api-key header. Use the console API Keys page to rotate or select the active key.
Endpoint usage is metered in credits. The plan prices, included credits, limits, and overage rates below match the active backend billing configuration.

| Field | Type | Required | Enum | Bounds | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| code | integer | No | Code is the HTTP status code or a custom code used to indicate the result of the request @example 200 | |||
| data | culvers.CalendarResponse | No | ||||
| data.end_date | string | No | 2026-10-31 | |||
| data.fetched_at | string | No | ||||
| data.flavor_count | integer | No | 61 | FlavorCount and SoupCount are the entry counts, not distinct-day counts -- several soups share one date. | ||
| data.flavors | array | No | ||||
| data.flavors[].date | string | No | 2026-09-01 | Date is the calendar date (YYYY-MM-DD) this flavor is featured. | ||
| data.flavors[].description | string | No | ||||
| data.flavors[].image_url | string | No | ||||
| data.flavors[].menu_item_id | integer | No | 69 | MenuItemID matches the flavor's menu item. Culver's also publishes a separate `flavorId` on each calendar entry, but it is redundant -- across 214 entries sampled from 4 restaurants it was identical to menuItemId every time (2026-09-05) -- so it is not surfaced, keeping this DTO's id field consistent with CalendarSoup's. | ||

| data.source_url | string | No | ||||
| data.start_date | string | No | 2026-09-01 | StartDate and EndDate bound the window Culver's currently publishes (roughly two months forward). Empty when the restaurant publishes no calendar at all. | ||
