4. Set maxResults to the number of venue rows you need.
5. Run the actor.
6. Download the dataset or connect it to your workflow.

Input settings

cityOrLocation

Use a city, neighborhood, restaurant keyword, or cuisine term. Examples:

• New York
• Brooklyn sushi
• Chicago steakhouse
• Los Angeles Italian

searchUrl

Paste a Resy city, search, or venue URL when you want to anchor the run to a known Resy page. If cityOrLocation is empty, the actor derives a search term from this URL.

date

Use YYYY-MM-DD format. If omitted, the actor checks the current date.

partySize

The number of diners for availability checks. The default is 2.

includeAvailability

When enabled, the actor checks public availability for each venue. When disabled, the actor only returns venue profile fields and runs faster.

maxResults

Maximum number of venue rows to save. Use a low value for test runs.

proxyConfiguration

Proxy use is optional. Most public searches work without a proxy. If your run is blocked, try Apify Proxy with datacenter proxies before residential proxies.

Example input

{
  "cityOrLocation": "New York",
  "date": "2026-07-05",
  "partySize": 2,
  "includeAvailability": true,
  "maxResults": 25,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}

Example output

{
  "venueId": "87134",
  "name": "Brooklyn Chop House - Downtown FIDI",

Tips for better Resy results

• Use broad city searches first, then narrow by cuisine or neighborhood.
• Keep maxResults low while testing a new market.
• Disable availability if you only need venue profile data.
• Use a future date when checking reservation availability.
• Run the actor daily if you need trend monitoring.

Availability status

Availability is public and can change quickly. A venue can appear in search but have no public slots for your selected date and party size. In that case availabilityStatus is no_slots.

availabilityStatus is available when times were found, unavailable when the venue did not provide the location data needed for a lookup, lookup_failed when the optional lookup could not be completed, and not_requested when includeAvailability is disabled. Check this field before treating an empty availableTimes array as no availability.

Common use cases

• Build a local restaurant lead list
• Monitor new restaurants in a city
• Compare Resy coverage by neighborhood
• Track available dining slots for concierge planning
• Enrich travel guides with restaurant profile data
• Analyze cuisine and price distribution in a market

Integrations

You can connect the dataset to:

• Google Sheets for operations teams
• BigQuery or Snowflake for analytics
• Zapier or Make for alerts
• Slack for availability monitoring
• S3 for archival exports
• Your backend through the Apify API

API usage

Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('fetch_cat/resy-restaurants-availability-scraper').call({
  cityOrLocation: 'New York',
  date: '2026-07-05',
  partySize: 2,
  maxResults: 25
});
console.log(run.defaultDatasetId);

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN')
run = client.actor('fetch_cat/resy-restaurants-availability-scraper').call(run_input={
    'cityOrLocation': 'New York',
    'date': '2026-07-05',
    'partySize': 2,
    'maxResults': 25,
})
print(run['defaultDatasetId'])

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/fetch_cat~resy-restaurants-availability-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \

MCP usage

Use the Apify MCP server with tools enabled for this actor:

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch_cat/resy-restaurants-availability-scraper

Claude Code setup:

claude mcp add apify-resy --url "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch_cat/resy-restaurants-availability-scraper"

Claude Desktop JSON config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify-resy": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch_cat/resy-restaurants-availability-scraper"
    }
  }
}

Example prompts:

• "Find 25 Resy restaurants in New York and summarize cuisines."
• "Check public Resy availability for Chicago steakhouse results tomorrow."
• "Export the Resy venue dataset to a table grouped by neighborhood."

Scheduling

Schedule recurring runs to monitor restaurant availability or new venue search results. Daily runs are useful for concierge teams and market analysts. Weekly runs are usually enough for broad venue discovery.

Data freshness

The actor collects live public data at run time. Restaurant profiles and availability can change after your run finishes. For operational decisions, rerun close to the time you need the data.

Limits

• The actor returns public Resy data only.
• It does not book reservations.
• It does not log in to user accounts.
• Some venues may not expose availability for every date or party size.
• Very narrow searches may return fewer rows than maxResults.

Legality

This actor collects public restaurant discovery data and does not perform bookings, account actions, or private-data access.

Legal and ethical use

This actor is designed for public restaurant discovery data. Use the results responsibly and follow Apify's Terms of Service, Resy's public website terms, and applicable laws. Do not use the actor for spam, harassment, credentialed access, or automated booking abuse.

Troubleshooting

Why are availableTimes empty?

The venue may not have public slots for the selected date and party size, or availability may have changed before the lookup. Try a future date, a different party size, or disable availability if you only need venue profiles.

Why did I get fewer rows than requested?

The search term may be too narrow. Use a broader city or cuisine query, then filter the dataset after export.

Should I use a proxy?

Start without a proxy. If a run is blocked, enable Apify Proxy and try datacenter proxies first.

Support

For support, include the run ID or run URL, the input JSON, the expected output, and the actual output. Include a reproducible public URL (for example, the relevant Resy city, search, or venue URL) whenever possible. Do not include account credentials or reservation details.

Privacy and data handling

This Actor runs with Apify limited permissions and only processes data needed for the documented run. It uses the inputs you provide and the public records needed to produce the documented dataset to produce the output dataset and sends requests to public Resy Restaurants Availability pages/endpoints; results are stored in Apify run storage for your account. FetchCat does not use your inputs or outputs for advertising, does not use them for model training, and does not retain them outside the Apify run except for transient support debugging when you explicitly share run details. You are responsible for using the Actor lawfully, respecting the target site's terms, and avoiding unnecessary personal or sensitive data in inputs.
