USA Food Data API: DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub Menu Data

FoodSpark’s USA food data API delivers restaurant, menu, and delivery data from DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub. You can then get it as JSON, CSV, or a live API feed. Every record also carries the city, state, and ZIP code. So you can compare New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles fairly.

In short, you get:

• Delivery app data: restaurants, menus, prices, fees, promos, and ratings
• Menu details: dishes, combos, sizes, add-ons and dietary tags
• US-ready fields: pre-tax prices, service fees, calories and ZIP codes
• Flexible delivery: a one-off dataset, a scheduled feed or live API access

Why the USA Food Data API Needs Local Detail

The US delivery market, however, has one dominant app, city-level rules, and prices shown before tax. So, data that ignores them leads to unfair comparisons. That is why our USA food data API captures each local detail as its own field.

• One clear leader: DoorDash held 60.7% of observed US delivery card spending at the end of 2024, says Earnest Analytics. Uber Eats followed with 26.1%, while Grubhub had 6.3%.
• A new owner for Grubhub: Wonder completed its purchase of Grubhub, valued at $650 million, in January 2025. Meanwhile, Wonder also runs its own food halls.
• City rules: New York City caps app delivery fees at 15% and sets a minimum pay rate for delivery workers. Since April 2026, that rate has been $22.13 an hour before tips.
• Calorie labels: Chains with 20 or more locations must show calories on their own menus, including online menus. On delivery apps, however, FDA draft guidance treats this as voluntary.
• Sales tax: The US has no national sales tax, and rates vary by state and city. Therefore, we record menu prices as the apps show them, usually before tax.

USA Food Data API at a Glance

Sources Covered by the USA Food Data API

The USA Food Data API collects public data from the apps and chains US diners use most. Then we merge it into one clean dataset. Each linked name also opens its full API page.

Delivery Apps

So why not use the apps’ own APIs? DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub do offer APIs, but only to partner restaurants and their tech providers. However, those APIs show your own stores and orders. By contrast, the USA food data API shows the whole market in the ZIP codes you choose.

Restaurant Chains

Chains: we also cover national chains such as McDonald’s, Starbucks, and Domino’s. In addition, we cover casual-dining chains such as Lazy Dog and Firebirds Wood Fired Grill.

Need a source that is not listed? Then we build a custom crawler and add it to your USA food data API feed.

Data Fields in the USA Food Data API

Every USA food data API record uses the same clean field names. As a result, you can join DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub data without extra work.

Restaurant and Menu Fields

Fee and Offer Fields

US-Only Extras

• Pre-tax prices: menu prices before state and local sales tax
• Calories: calorie counts, wherever a menu or app shows them
• Dietary tags: vegan, gluten-free and similar labels, as listed
• State and county: for tax, pay-rule and regional analysis

Cities and States in the USA Food Data API

The USA food data API covers every area a source app serves. Even so, the big metro areas matter most, since all three apps compete there.

For example, you can compare one burger chain’s prices in New York and Dallas. Likewise, you can check how delivery fees change from one ZIP code to the next.

How the USA Food Data API Maps ZIP Codes

US ZIP codes have five digits, such as 10001 in Manhattan. Then the USA Food Data API adds the city, county, state, and coordinates to each record. As a result, you can roll data up from one street to all 50 states.

Sample Record From the USA Food Data API

Below, for example, is a shortened record from the USA Food Data API. The restaurant and values are examples only.

{
  "platform": "doordash_us",
  "restaurant_id": "dd_us_2219034",

  "city": "New York",
  "state": "NY",

}

Formats and Delivery

You can get the data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML. In addition, we can push it to a database, cloud storage, or your own endpoint. Refresh rates, meanwhile, range from real-time and daily to weekly or monthly.

How It Works

1. Share your needs: tell us the apps, cities, and fields you want.
2. Review a sample: check a free USA sample first.
3. Set up the feed: then we configure crawlers, schedules, and quality checks.
4. Stay covered: finally, we fix the crawlers whenever an app changes.

What Teams Do With the USA Food Data API

Teams use the USA Food Data API to follow a market where fees and promos change from city to city. For example, they:

1. Compare platforms: check the same restaurant’s price on DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub.
2. Track fees: follow delivery, service, and small-order fees by ZIP code.
3. Measure markups: compare app prices with in-store or website prices for the same chain.
4. Watch city rules: see how fees move in New York City as pay rules rise each April.
5. Benchmark chains: compare McDonald’s, Starbucks, and regional chains by state.
6. Feed AI and dashboards: use fresh, structured data instead of reports that go stale.

Because prices, fees, and promos keep shifting, a one-off report ages fast. So a scheduled feed usually works better.

USA Food Data API: FAQs

What is a USA food data API?

A USA food data API gives your software structured data from US delivery apps and restaurants. For example, it includes menus, prices, fees, promos, and ratings. So your apps and dashboards always work with fresh data.

Can you extract DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub data?

Yes. We collect public DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub menus, prices, fees, promos, and ratings by city or ZIP code. In addition, each dish stays linked to its restaurant ID.

Are prices shown before or after tax?

US menus usually show prices before sales tax, which is added at checkout. So we record the listed price and tag the state and city for later tax analysis.

Do you capture calories?

Yes, wherever a menu or app shows them. Chains with 20 or more locations must list calories on their own menus. On delivery apps, however, FDA draft guidance treats it as voluntary, so coverage varies.

Do you cover every state?

Yes, we cover every area the apps serve, across all 50 states. However, you can also start with a few metro areas, then expand.

Is the data legally sourced?

We collect only public listing data, such as menus, prices, ratings, and availability. In other words, we never collect personal or login-protected data. We also design the feed with state privacy laws, such as California’s, in mind.

How do I get a free sample?

Just tell us the app, city, and fields you need. Then we send a free sample, usually as JSON or CSV.
