One call

Send the page URL and the recipe name to the Scrape API. The recipe brings the extract rules and the settings that work on Zomato (JavaScript rendering and the premium proxy (IN)).

    timeout=120,

for item in r.json()["result"]["item_list"][:3]:
    print(item["name"], item["url"])
# Example output:

# The GT Road /ncr/the-gt-road-connaught-place-new-...

const params = new URLSearchParams({

  recipe: "zomato",
});
const res = await fetch(`https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape?${params}`, {

const { result } = await res.json();
for (const item of result.item_list.slice(0, 3)) {
  console.log(item.name, item.url);

The answer is {"result": {...}} with the headers Ujb-Recipe and Ujb-Credits. Your own parameters always win over the recipe.

FAQ

What does the Zomato recipe return?

JSON with 3 fields from search results (recipe=zomato), for example name, url, title. The answer is {"result": {...}} with the fields shown on this page.

How much does it cost to scrape Zomato?

25 credits a page ($2.49 per 1,000 on Pro, $4.08 on Starter). Same price as the page call, no fee for the recipe. Only successful responses are billed; blocked, timed-out and failed requests are free.

Do I need proxies or a headless browser?

What happens when Zomato changes its pages?

We check Zomato every day and re-validate the recipe on real pages every week, then fix it when the site changes. Until a fix is live, the API answers 404 "the recipe has no working version" instead of empty data, and that call is free.

Can I search Zomato with parameters?

Yes, in one call: send recipe=zomato/search with location and no URL. We build the Zomato search URL (returned in the Ujb-Url header), apply recipe=zomato/listing and answer its JSON, at the same credits as the page call. A missing or invalid parameter answers 400 naming it, and that call is free.
