TheFork Review Scraper | All Reviews, All Languages (2026)

Restaurant Scrapers ➤	TheFork Scraper	TheFork Reviews	Resy Scraper

Why This Actor?

The main TheFork Scraper returns reviews in the restaurant's default language only. Many restaurants have reviews in French, English, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese, but a single-language query misses most of them.

This actor solves that: it queries each language separately, collects all reviews, and deduplicates by review ID. One restaurant URL in, every review out.

Quick Start

All languages — just a URL, reviews from every language merged and deduplicated:

{
  "restaurantUrl": "https://www.thefork.com/restaurant/el-lago-r2406"
}

Single language — filter to one language:

{
  "restaurantUrl": "https://www.thefork.fr/restaurant/el-lago-r2406",
  "reviewLanguage": "fr",
  "maxReviews": 200
}

FAQ

How is this different from the main TheFork Scraper?

The main scraper returns reviews in one language per restaurant (the domain's default). This actor iterates all 7 languages separately, collecting reviews that only appear in non-default language buckets. It also deduplicates automatically.

Are reviews deduplicated?

Yes. The same review can appear in multiple language buckets. The actor tracks review IDs and skips duplicates.

Do I need a TheFork account?

No. All data is publicly available.

How many reviews can I extract?

No limit. Set maxReviews to 0 for all reviews. Restaurants typically have between 50 and 5,000 reviews across all languages.

Can I use any TheFork domain?

Yes. URLs from thefork.com, thefork.fr, thefork.de, thefork.it, and thefork.es all work.
