Le Fooding Restaurant Guide Scraper — Avis, Prix, Chefs

Structured access to Le Fooding, the independent French restaurant guide (France and Belgium, about 1 400 restaurants in the active selection, 3 000+ reviewed since 2000). Search around a place (geocoded, sorted by distance) or by département / region, then narrow by cuisine or style, price band, practical features, editorial selection (Palmarès, Feeling, Trop bon) and Fooding prizes. Every row carries the name, editorial headline, review excerpt, categories, price band, features, badges, prizes, chefs, full address with GPS, booking method, photo and public URL; the detail mode adds the complete review, opening hours, phone, website, take-away, transport access and nearby restaurants.

Pricing

Pay per event: one restaurant event per row, one restaurant detail event per full record, plus a small Actor start fee. The Actor reads the guide's public JSON API directly: no browser, no proxy overhead, runs finish in seconds.

Notes

• Places are geocoded with OpenStreetMap Nominatim (one request per place); the guide's own geo search returns venues within about 100 km sorted by distance, then the Actor keeps those within maxDistanceKm.
• Filters of different kinds are combined with AND; values inside one filter are OR-ed.
• Contact data is the restaurants' public business data as published by the guide. Chefs are named as in the guide's editorial content.
• Reviews and photos belong to Le Fooding; use the output for research, mapping and prospecting in compliance with the site's terms.
