Zomato API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Zomato Restaurant Menu API to extract supported public Zomato 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.
/zomato/restaurant/menuReturns one restaurant's menu grouped into categories, plus its restaurant summary. A category is named by Zomato's own sub-heading when it has one (e.g. "Veg Burgers") and otherwise by the menu section it sits under (e.g. "Burgers"), since most restaurants name only the section level. Each item carries a name, description, veg/non-veg flag, image, and price when Zomato's own anonymous response includes one -- confirmed live, item prices are commonly gated behind login for the delivery-ordering flow, so price is frequently absent even though the item itself is public. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

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.
