KFC API endpoint
Use Crawlora's KFC Stores API to extract supported public KFC 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.
/kfc/storesReturns KFC restaurants matching a city/state/postal code/name/franchise code/store number filter. At least one filter is required -- an unfiltered call would enumerate every US restaurant in one response, which this endpoint intentionally does not expose. Each restaurant carries its store number (the value /kfc/menu and /kfc/promotions take), full address with coordinates, phone, whether it currently accepts online orders, and its timezone. appear_in_store_results (default true) excludes internal/test records KFC's own storefront does not surface in customer-facing search -- confirmed live that a raw filter can otherwise return non-orderable administrative entries alongside real restaurants. 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.
