Grubhub API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Grubhub Restaurant Reviews API to extract supported public Grubhub 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.
/grubhub/restaurant/reviewsReturns one restaurant's customer reviews plus its 1-5 star rating histogram. Each review carries the star rating, the written body, the reviewer's display name and how many reviews they have written, the review date, Grubhub's own sentiment classification, the diner type, and the specific menu items the review is attached to -- Grubhub ties each review to what the diner actually ordered. sort accepts `timeCreated_desc` (most recent, the default) and `ratingValue_desc` (highest rated). Note the written-review corpus and the headline rating shown in search are separate systems upstream, so a restaurant can report a large rating count in search while returning few or no written reviews here. 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.
