#/definitions/papajohns.menuItemResponseDoc

Overview

Returns one Papa John's US or Canada menu SKU with that restaurant's price for it, together with the full customization axes of the product group it belongs to: every size and crust the product is sold in, and every preparation instruction with its choices and default. The response also names the category and section the item sits under. Pass a store_id so the price is that restaurant's; omitting it returns the national default price. SKUs come from GET /papajohns/menu. 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.

Infrastructure behavior

This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.

• Proxy strategy: managed automatically where needed
• Browser rendering: enabled for supported targets that require rendered HTML or JavaScript execution
• Browser cluster: supported dynamic workloads can be routed through distributed browser instances
• Retry behavior: automatic retry/fallback may be used depending on endpoint type
• Challenge handling: challenged pages or unusable upstream HTML are detected and surfaced clearly when they cannot be used
• Billing: credits are charged only for successful 2xx responses
• Observability: responses include request context where available

Response behavior

- `group` carries every size and crust the product is sold in and every preparation instruction (how much cheese, how well done) with its choices and which one is the default. Unlike [`/papajohns/menu`](papajohns-menu.md), these are always included — that is the point of this endpoint. - `category` and `section` name where the item sits in the menu. - An unknown `sku` returns a `404`. A sku that upstream prices but does not display in any menu group also returns a `404`, with a message saying so — it is not orderable from the menu even though a price exists. Example response: ```json {"code":200,"msg":"OK","data":{"store_id":5054,"national_default":false,"category":"pizza","section":"Most Popular","group":{"id":"cyo","title":"Create Your Own Pizza","customizable":"full","max_toppings":7,"allow_half_toppings":true,"sizes":[{"id":2,"name":"Small","measure":"10\"","default":false},{"id":4,"name":"Large","measure":"14\"","default":true}],"crusts":[{"id":1,"name":"Original Crust","code":"PIZZA_ORIGINAL","sub_type":"Original","default":true}],"instructions":[{"id":2,"name":"CHEESE","description":"How much cheese?","choices":[{"id":6,"name":"Light Cheese","code":"ILC"},{"id":5,"name":"Regular Cheese","default":true}]}],"products":[]},"product":{"sku":"1-1-2-115","name":"10 Inch Original Pepperoni Pizza","size":"Small","price":14.99,"calories":210,"serving_label":"/slice, 6 slices","slices":6},"source_url":"https://www.papajohns.com/api/trpc/product.getByStore?input={\"json\":{\"storeId\":5054}}","fetched_at":"2026-09-06T09:00:00Z"}} ```

Error behavior

Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.

When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can retry, back off, or inspect the request.
