GO DEEPER

Full review text, one more call

Pair the listing data with the reviews endpoint to pull what diners actually wrote, not truncated excerpts.

# 1 credit per search; a page of full reviews with a token for the next page curl "https://crustapi.com/v1/search?type=reviews&q=Corner+Restaurant+Austin" -H "x-api-key: YOUR_KEY"

One complete review from that pull, July 27, 2026. The snippet field carries the whole text:

{ "rating": 5, "date": "3 weeks ago", "snippet": "Great experience overall. The atmosphere, service, and food quality were all excellent. This restaurant definitely deserves its high rating. I especially recommend the steak - it's cooked perfectly and very flavorful. I would definitely come back again.", "user": { "name": "Yigit", "reviews": 37 } }

Each review carries the rating, date, full text, reviewer profile, and any photos, with sort options and pagination; the July 27 pull returned 20 full reviews on the first page. Menu photos, sentiment analysis, competitor monitoring: it is all in the text.

WHAT PEOPLE BUILD

Where restaurant data earns its keep

The buyers are rarely diners. They are teams selling to restaurants or studying them.

Restaurant-tech sales teams pull city lists to feed a CRM: every restaurant with a phone, a website, and a rating is a qualified row. Market analysts compare cuisine mix and rating distributions across metros. Site-selection teams check density around a candidate address using the coordinates. Researchers track openings and closings by re-pulling a market and diffing against permanentlyClosed. If you need a packaged list instead of an API, the restaurant database page covers that route.

FAIR PLAY

What this is not: a menu, reservation, or delivery API. If you need table availability, live menus, or order status, that is different plumbing owned by the booking and delivery platforms. This returns the restaurant listing layer: who exists, where, how they rate, and how to reach them.

PRICING

One credit per restaurant

A city scan that returns 20 restaurants costs 20 credits. Review pulls are 1 credit per search.
