Usage

1. Open the actor on Apify.
2. Set citySlug to your target city (e.g. mumbai).
3. Optionally set maxItems to limit results.
4. Click Start and wait for the dataset to populate.

How it works

The actor calls Zomato's undocumented /webroutes/getPage JSON API used by the site's own Next.js frontend. This endpoint returns paginated restaurant cards (~9 per page) for a given city, sorted by popularity. Pagination is driven by a page_number cursor; the actor stops when the API's hasMore flag is false or maxItems is reached.

Indian residential proxy exits are used to reach the API, as it returns HTML for non-Indian IPs.

Notes

• Popularity sort only. The API is sorted by popularity. Custom sort orders are not supported by this actor.
• ~9 restaurants per page. Large cities (e.g. NCR) may have thousands of listings; use maxItems to cap results for exploratory runs.
• Global cities. Dubai and other non-Indian cities are also supported where Zomato operates.
• No login required. The actor does not require a Zomato account.
