Endpoint Overview

Detailed documentation, pricing, and usage examples.

OverviewLink to Overview

Extract restaurant listings from any TheFork search or city browse page. Returns structured cards with ratings, cuisine, average price, address, geolocation, bookability, AI review summaries, and pagination metadata.

TheFork is a Next.js single-page application. Search results (RestaurantCard components) and availability data are loaded via GraphQL after the initial HTML shell. A plain HTTP request returns an empty page skeleton. Piloterr uses website rendering to execute JavaScript, wait for restaurant cards to render, and extract structured JSON from the live DOM.
