OpenTable Reviews API
Our OpenTable Reviews API allows you to scrape reviews from OpenTable restaurant pages. The API is accessed through the following endpoint: /search?engine=open_table_reviews.
A user can query the following: https://serpapi.com/search?engine=open_table_reviews using a GET request. Head to the playground for a live and interactive demo.
API Parameters
Localization
open_table_domain
Optional
Parameter defines the OpenTable domain to use. It defaults to www.opentable.com. Head to the OpenTable domains page for a full list of supported OpenTable domains.
Serpapi Parameters
no_cache
Optional
Parameter will force SerpApi to fetch the OpenTable Reviews results even if a cached version is already present. A cache is served only if the query and all parameters are exactly the same. Cache expires after 1h. Cached searches are free, and are not counted towards your searches per month. It can be set to false (default) to allow results from the cache, or true to disallow results from the cache. no_cache and async parameters should not be used together.
async
Optional
Parameter defines the way you want to submit your search to SerpApi. It can be set to false (default) to open an HTTP connection and keep it open until you got your search results, or true to just submit your search to SerpApi and retrieve them later. In this case, you'll need to use our Searches Archive API to retrieve your results. async and no_cache parameters should not be used together. async should not be used on accounts with Ludicrous Speed enabled.
zero_trace
Optional
Enterprise only. Parameter enables ZeroTrace mode. It can be set to false (default) or true. Enable this mode to skip storing search parameters, search files, and search metadata on our servers. This may make debugging more difficult.
output
Optional
Parameter defines the final output you want. It can be set to json (default) to get a structured JSON of the results, or html to get the raw html retrieved.
json_restrictor
Optional
Parameter defines the fields you want to restrict in the outputs for smaller, faster responses. See JSON Restrictor for more details.
API Results
JSON Results
JSON output includes structured data for Review results.
A search status is accessible through search_metadata.status. It flows this way: Processing -> Success || Error. If a search has failed, error will contain an error message. search_metadata.id is the search ID inside SerpApi.
HTML Results
HTML output is useful to debug JSON results or support features not supported yet by SerpApi. HTML output gives you the raw HTML results from OpenTable Reviews.
