Zomato API

Zomato restaurant listings, menus with prices, ratings and reviews as JSON, with no developer key.

The API.SH Zomato API turns public zomato.com pages into structured JSON. List restaurants for a city, locality, cuisine or dish with ratings, cost for two and delivery time, open one restaurant for its details and full delivery menu with item prices, and read its reviews. Filter listings by minimum rating or pure veg.

API.SH vs the official Zomato API

Zomato's old public data API was discontinued, and its current developer platform serves POS and merchant partners for order and menu management, according to the search results. API.SH needs no Zomato partnership and returns public restaurant, menu and review data as JSON. It is read-only.

Instead of running a Zomato scraper, a browser extension or a vendor's custom data service, API.SH gives you one key, one JSON shape and a fixed price per call, and blocks and retries are handled for you.

Zomato API questions

What Zomato data can I get?+

Restaurant listings (/zomato/v1/restaurants), one restaurant with its delivery menu and photos (/zomato/v1/restaurant) and restaurant reviews (/zomato/v1/reviews).

How much does the Zomato API cost?+

Every Zomato endpoint costs 1 credit per call. On a monthly plan 1,000 credits cost $1 (Starter is $50/month for 50,000 credits). Pay-as-you-go is $2 per 1,000 credits, with top-ups from $15 that never expire.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes. Every account gets 1,000 free credits every month. That is 1,000 calls to /zomato/v1/restaurant at 1 credit each.

Is there an official Zomato API?+

Zomato's legacy public API is discontinued. Its developer platform today is for POS and merchant partners. API.SH is a separate service that reads public Zomato pages and needs no partner access.

Do I need a Zomato account or login?+

No. API.SH reads public Zomato pages only. No endpoint uses a login, cookies or anyone's account.

Is there a free Zomato API key?+

The old free Zomato API keys are no longer issued. With API.SH you do not need a Zomato key at all, and every account gets 1,000 free credits every month.

Can I place orders or manage my restaurant's menu?+

No. API.SH reads public pages only. It cannot place or accept orders, update a menu or touch a merchant account.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key. 3. Call /zomato/v1/restaurants with a city, then /zomato/v1/restaurant with a restaurant link. Request examples and every parameter are in the docs at https://api.sh/docs. You can also use the JS or Python SDK, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or the MCP server at https://api.sh/mcp.
