How to scrape DoorDash: settings that work today

What you can get

Detail pages carry structured data (Restaurant, Organization, Menu). You can read those fields straight from the HTML, or select any other field with extract rules (CSS selectors).

Public pages Intermittent

Page types we check: Public pages, Detail pages.

Structured data on detail pages (keys from our probe page, values removed):

[
    {
        "@type": "Restaurant",
        "image": "...",
        "name": "...",
        "address": {
            "streetAddress": "...",
            "addressLocality": "...",
            "addressRegion": "...",
            "addressCountry": "..."
        },
        "geo": {
            "latitude": "...",
            "longitude": "..."
        }
    },
    {
        "@type": "Organization",
        "name": "...",
        "url": "...",
        "sameAs": "..."
    }
]

Code

Complete scripts: set the UJEEBU_API_KEY environment variable and run them as they are. Each one sends the settings on this page, prints the start of the page, and prints the credits the request cost (the Ujb-Credits response header) on stderr. A non-200 answer stops the script with the API's error message.

No extraction recipe for these pages yet: the script fetches the page with the working settings. Add extract rules to get JSON.

SDK tabs use the official Ujeebu SDKs (ujeebu-python 0.1.5, @ujeebu-org/ujeebu-sdk 0.1.2, github.com/ujeebu/ujeebu-go v0.1.8); there is no PHP SDK, so the PHP tab calls the API with curl. For agents and scripts, the same status and settings are at /scrape/doordash.json.

Settings that work today

From our health checks over the last 7 days: the cheapest settings that return the real page most of the time.

Endpoint	`/scrape`
`js`	`true`
Cost	up to 5 credits a request (only HTTP 200 and 404 are billed)

Each public page is one request: change the path in the URL to fetch another one. Collect detail page URLs from listing pages first, then fetch each detail page. Our checks run with JavaScript rendering on (js=true): keep it on. Start with the default (rotating) proxy, the cheapest one that passed most of its attempts in our checks.

Proxy	Attempts	Passed
Default (rotating)	6	4

The cheapest proxy that passes most of our checks of this site.

Troubleshooting

The failures our own checks of doordash.com ran into over the last 7 days, and what got the page in the same check.

What happened	Times	What fixed it
The site blocked the request (HTTP 403 or a block page)	2	None of the settings we tried got past it in 7 days.
The page did not load in time	1	Nothing we tried in the same check. Retry later, one request at a time.

A failed request is not billed: only HTTP 200 and 404 responses cost credits.

What people build with DoorDash data

Restaurant market researchMap the restaurants of an area with their cuisine, rating and delivery terms.More on this use case

Limits and etiquette

Public pages only. Pages behind a login, and data shown only to signed-in users, are out of scope.
Keep the rate modest: fetch pages one after another or with low concurrency, and cache what you already have.
Read DoorDash's terms of service before you collect data at scale, and do not collect personal data you have no basis to process. This guide is not legal advice.

Questions

Can you scrape DoorDash with Ujeebu?

Partly. 4 of 20 checks of public DoorDash pages passed in the last 7 days; most failures were the site blocked the request (HTTP 403 or a block page). Retry failed pages later, and use the settings on this page.

Which settings work for DoorDash?

Call /scrape with js=true. On the default (rotating) proxy, 4 of 6 attempts passed in the last 7 days.

How many credits does a DoorDash request cost?

With these settings a request costs up to 5 credits. Only responses with HTTP 200 or 404 are billed: a blocked or timed-out request is free.

How fresh is this page?

The status and settings come from our own health checks of doordash.com, which run around the clock. Last check: 2026-10-13 17:34:34 UTC; last pass: 2026-10-13 17:34:34 UTC.
