Panera API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Panera Bread Catering Menu API to extract supported public Panera 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.
/panera/catering-menuReturns one cafe's catering category list and its full catering item catalog, priced for that specific cafe -- Panera's catering ordering flow is a separate application from its retail site, with its own category structure, pricing and item availability (confirmed live: the same item priced differently between a placeholder default cafe and a real cafe). Categories are a flat list (catering does not publish a category hierarchy the way the retail menu does). Each item carries its price, product type, portion label, whether it is customizable, a full published nutrient panel (calories, calories from fat, fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, total sugars, protein, caffeine -- richer than the retail menu's calories/caffeine-only surface), its allergen statement (contains / may-contain, each with an id and display name), and a live in_stock flag from this cafe's current catering stockout feed for today. Cafe ids come from GET /panera/locations. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cafe_id | integer | Yes | Panera cafe id, from /panera/locations | ||
| x-api-key (header) | string | Yes | API key required |
curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/panera/catering-menu" \ -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.

This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.
Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.
| Status | Common failure case |
|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid input or missing required parameter |
| 429 | Plan or endpoint rate limit exceeded |
| 500 | Internal execution error |
| 502 | Upstream platform failed, returned unusable HTML, or served a challenge page that could not be resolved |
When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can retry, back off, or inspect the request.
