OpenTable Restaurants Scraper

What does OpenTable Restaurants Scraper do?

OpenTable Restaurants Scraper collects restaurant listing data from OpenTable, the online reservation platform. Paste a metro page, search URL, or restaurant profile URL and get a structured dataset with names, cuisine, price band, ratings, review counts, addresses, phone numbers, photos, and dining features. You can also skip URLs entirely and search by location, date, time, party size, and sort order.

The Actor paginates search results automatically and returns up to 50 restaurants per page. It works across OpenTable domains in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, Mexico, and other markets.

Why use OpenTable Restaurants Scraper?

• Restaurant datasets without manual work - Build city-level restaurant lists from OpenTable search and metro pages instead of copying rows by hand.
• Four export formats - Download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML from the Apify dataset.
• Scheduling and monitoring - Refresh a city or neighborhood dataset daily to track new openings, rating shifts, and price changes.
• Ready for other tools - Send results to Google Sheets, Airtable, Make, Zapier, or your own API through webhooks.
• Flexible starting points - Use a direct URL when you already know the market, or use filters when your application builds searches on the fly.

How to use OpenTable Restaurants Scraper

1. Open the Actor on Apify Store.
2. Enter one or more OpenTable URLs, or fill in the location filters.
3. Set the maximum number of restaurants and the page limit.
4. Run the Actor.
5. Download the dataset or connect it to a workflow.

If you leave the input empty, the Actor runs the Las Vegas metro example from the input form. You can replace it with any city, neighborhood, cuisine, landmark, or restaurant page.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
startUrls	Array	No	Las Vegas metro page	One or more OpenTable URLs. Search URLs paginate best.
location	String	No	-	City, neighborhood, landmark, or restaurant name. Takes priority over the URL field.
date	String	No	Next evening	Reservation date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Use together with time.
time	String	No	Next evening	Reservation time in 24-hour HH:MM format. Use together with date.
people	Integer	No	2	Party size from 1 to 20 for filter searches.
sort	Select	No	OpenTable default	Result order: recommended, distance, rating, price, name, or newest.
results_wanted	Integer	No	20	Maximum number of restaurants to save.
max_pages	Integer	No	3	Maximum number of result pages to request. Each page holds up to 50 restaurants.
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	No proxy	Optional proxy settings. Leave empty to run direct; add Apify Proxy or custom proxy URLs when needed.

A location value wins over the URL field, so a prefilled URL in the form cannot override a search you type. When no location is set, the URL fields are used as given and the other filter fields are ignored for that run.

Usage Examples

Collect restaurants from a metro page

Start from a metro page and let the Actor paginate the full market:

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.opentable.com/metro/las-vegas-restaurants" }
  ],
  "results_wanted": 150,
  "max_pages": 4
}

Collect from several cities in one run

Use multiple search URLs to build a combined dataset:

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.opentable.com/s?term=Las%20Vegas&covers=2&currentview=list" },
    { "url": "https://www.opentable.com/s?term=New%20York&covers=2&currentview=list" }
  ],
  "results_wanted": 200,
  "max_pages": 3
}

Search by location and party size

Skip URLs when your application builds searches from user input. Date and time must be supplied together:

{
  "location": "Chicago",
  "date": "2026-11-14",
  "time": "19:30",
  "people": 4,
  "sort": "rating",
  "results_wanted": 100,
  "max_pages": 3
}

Collect a single restaurant profile

Use a restaurant page when you need one record with the full field set:

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.opentable.com/r/hells-kitchen-caesars-palace-las-vegas" }
  ],
  "results_wanted": 1
}

Tips for Best Results

• Use a metro page or a search URL when you need many restaurants. Both give the Actor a full result set to paginate.
• Add date and time when availability matters. A weekend dinner shows different restaurants than a weekday lunch.
• If you omit the date and time, the Actor picks the next evening automatically so that pagination returns the complete result set.
• Start with a small results_wanted value while testing, then raise it for production runs.
• Increase max_pages when you need more than 50 records. Three pages cover 150 restaurants.
• Use a search URL with your own filters (cuisine, price, neighborhood) when you want a narrower dataset.
• The Actor runs without a proxy by default. If you plan very large or repeated runs and see blocking, enable Apify Proxy with residential proxies.
• Some fields are missing when a restaurant does not publish them. Empty values are removed from each record.

Integrations

• Google Sheets - Send restaurant lists to a spreadsheet for review.
• Airtable - Build a searchable restaurant directory.
• Webhooks - Push finished datasets to your own systems.
• Make and Zapier - Connect results to no-code workflows.
• API - Read datasets from your application through the Apify API.

Export Formats

• JSON - For applications and data pipelines.
• CSV - For spreadsheets and reporting.
• Excel - For business analysis.
• XML - For system imports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I scrape OpenTable restaurants in different countries?

Yes. Use the OpenTable domain for the market you need, such as opentable.co.uk, opentable.ca, opentable.com.au, opentable.fr, opentable.de, opentable.es, opentable.it, opentable.jp, or opentable.com.mx. The Actor matches the request region to the domain.

Can I collect full restaurant reviews?

No. The Actor collects listing data, ratings, review counts, and one highlighted review snippet per restaurant. It does not collect full review threads.

How many restaurants can I collect in one run?

Set results_wanted and max_pages to control the volume. Each result page holds up to 50 restaurants, and large metros return several hundred matching results for a dinner search.

Why does the result count change between runs?

OpenTable builds search results around a reservation date, time, and party size. Availability changes throughout the day, so a search for Friday dinner can return a different set than a search for Tuesday lunch.

Why are some fields empty?

Restaurants publish different amounts of information. A restaurant without a public phone number, description, or photo simply has no value for that field. Empty values are removed to keep the dataset compact.

Can I use filtered OpenTable search URLs?

Yes. Any OpenTable search URL works, including cuisine, neighborhood, price, and date filters. If the URL contains a relative day or meal filter, the Actor converts it to a concrete date and time so that all result pages are returned.

Can I run this Actor on a schedule?

Yes. Schedule the Actor in Apify Console to refresh a market daily, weekly, or at any interval your workflow needs.

Does this Actor work without a browser?

Yes. The Actor requests public OpenTable pages directly. No browser window, login, or extension is needed.

Is it legal to scrape OpenTable?

Scraping public restaurant data can be legal, but you are responsible for following OpenTable's terms, local laws, and data privacy rules. Use the data for legitimate research and analysis.
