**Category:** Food & Dining | **Website:** [www.thefork.com/](https://www.thefork.com/) | **Docs:** [parse.bot/marketplace/8eb50ec6-9ed8-4ba2-bc2b-127f1db47314/thefork-com-api](https://parse.bot/marketplace/8eb50ec6-9ed8-4ba2-bc2b-127f1db47314/thefork-com-api)

Pay-per-use API proxy for Locus Pro. Each call burns credits from your workspace balance.

## Access

**Base URL:** `https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/thefork/`
**Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer <LOCUS_CREDITS_SECRET_KEY>` (an `lcr_` secret key or a scoped `lcac_` agent credential)
**Required header:** `Idempotency-Key: <fresh UUID per call>`. A retry with the same key replays the stored result without a new charge.
**Response:** the provider response after any endpoint-specific normalization. `X-Locus-Credits-Charged` carries the charge and `X-Locus-Credits-Balance` the remaining balance. Insufficient credits return `402` before the provider is called.
**Pricing:** estimated costs below are USD. Locus debits the credit equivalent at your workspace rate.

Full call contract: https://docs.paywithlocus.com/api-reference/introduction

> Using a Pay With Locus wallet key (`claw_` prefix)? Wallet routes are documented separately: https://docs.paywithlocus.com/wrapped-apis/for-agents

## Endpoints

### Check availability

Check available time slots for table reservation at a restaurant on a specific date for a given party size. Returns open slots grouped by meal service (LUNCH, DINER), each with any applicable discount offer. Does not place or hold a booking.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `date` | string | Yes | Date to check availability for, in ISO format YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2026-07-16). |
| `party_size` | integer | No | Number of guests (1-20). |
| `restaurant_id` | string | Yes | Numeric restaurant ID from search_restaurants results (e.g. 35738). |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/thefork/check-availability \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOCUS_CREDITS_SECRET_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"date":"<string>","party_size":"<integer>","restaurant_id":"<string>"}'
```

### Get restaurant

Retrieve full details for a single restaurant by its numeric ID. Returns name, cuisine, address, average price, rating, review count, photos, and the booking page URL.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `restaurant_id` | string | Yes | Numeric restaurant ID from search_restaurants results (e.g. 35738). |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/thefork/get-restaurant \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOCUS_CREDITS_SECRET_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"restaurant_id":"<string>"}'
```

### Search restaurants

Search restaurants by name on TheFork. Results are biased toward the specified city when provided. Returns restaurant summaries including booking page URLs. Each result carries a numeric restaurant ID usable with get_restaurant and check_availability.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `city` | string | No | City name to bias and filter results (e.g. Paris, London, Rome). When omitted, results default to Paris. |
| `name` | string | Yes | Restaurant name or partial name to search for. |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/thefork/search-restaurants \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOCUS_CREDITS_SECRET_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
