Tabelog API

Tabelog restaurant rankings, profiles and reviews from Japan as clean JSON.

The API.SH Tabelog API turns Japan's largest restaurant review site into structured JSON. Rank restaurants in a prefecture, area and genre with a budget range, open a restaurant's full profile (rating, review count, genres, hours, budgets, seats, payment methods, address and coordinates), and page through its reviews with each visit's rating, meal and spend per person.

API.SH vs the official Tabelog API

Tabelog does not offer an official public developer API. Developers rely on unofficial libraries and scraping tools; API.SH returns public Tabelog rankings, restaurant profiles and reviews as JSON at a fixed price per call.

Instead of maintaining a Python Tabelog scraper from GitHub or a no-code scraping tool, API.SH gives you one key, stable JSON and a fixed price per call.

Tabelog API questions

What Tabelog data can I get?+

Restaurant rankings for a prefecture, area and genre with budget filters (/tabelog/v1/search), a restaurant's full profile (/tabelog/v1/restaurant) and its reviews (/tabelog/v1/reviews).
