Opentable reviews API documentation

We provide a simple to setup REST API that returns reviews in JSON format. Before integrating the API you should be aware of the following:

  • The Opentable API returns 10 reviews per request.
  • The order in which reviews are returned is by descending date(from newest to oldest).
  • You can get all reviews from a single place by using the offset parameter.

To get reviews from Wextractor you will need to perform GET requests against the https://wextractor.com/api/v1/reviews/opentable endpoint.

Reviews endpoint parameters:

Parameter Required Description Example
auth_token Required Your API token for authentication. Once you register to Wextractor you can extract this key from your account's setting page. -
id Required The full url in Opentable. https://www.opentable.com/r/rh-rooftop-restaurant-at-rh-oak-brook
offset Optional This parameter defines the result offset. It skips the given number of reviews. It's used for pagination. (e.g., 0 (default) is the first page of results, 20 is the 2nd page of results, 40 is the 3rd page of results, etc.). 10

Example usage:

https://wextractor.com/api/v1/reviews/opentable?id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.opentable.com%2Fr%2Frh-rooftop-restaurant-at-rh-oak-brook&auth_token=XXXXX&offset=0

Frequently asked questions:

  • How do I get all the reviews for a single place?
  • You need to perform multiple requests incrementing the offset until you get a response without any reviews in it.

  • Does the API have rate limits?
  • Yes, since Opentable is pretty strict at blocking requests you will be rate limited if you perform more than ten requests per second.
