FAQs

Do I need a Grubhub account? No account is required, but anonymous search access is session- and geo-sensitive. Direct restaurant lookups via byRestaurantId or byUrl are the most reliable modes.

Which cities are supported? Grubhub operates in the US. Provide a US address or city for search mode, and use a US residential proxy for the best chance of success.

Does byRestaurantId return menu items? Yes. When using byRestaurantId or byUrl, both the restaurant record and all menu items are emitted.

What should I use for scheduled smoke tests? Use byRestaurantId with a known restaurant. byUrl usually works too, but direct restaurant IDs are the most stable choice for monitoring. Search mode depends on Grubhub's current anonymous geolocation/session gating and is best treated as best-effort.

How many restaurants can I scrape? Set maxItems up to 1000. Pagination is handled automatically.
