## Pricing

$19.00/month + usage

To use this Actor, you pay a monthly rental fee to the developer. The rent is subtracted from your prepaid usage every month after the free trial period. You also pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher Apify subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Pricing: $19/month rental, unlimited runs. Get token: https://console.apify.com/account/integrations
```

### Quick Start

#### Check availability for tonight

```json
{
    "startUrls": [
        { "url": "https://resy.com/cities/new-york-ny/carbone" }
    ],
    "partySize": 2
}
```

#### Monitor multiple restaurants for a specific date

```json
{
    "startUrls": [
        { "url": "https://resy.com/cities/new-york-ny/carbone" },
        { "url": "https://resy.com/cities/new-york-ny/don-angie" },
        { "url": "https://resy.com/cities/new-york-ny/4-charles-prime-rib" }
    ],
    "date": "2026-03-15",
    "partySize": 4
}
```

### Input Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description | Default |
|-----------|------|-------------|---------|
| `startUrls` | array | Resy restaurant URLs to check (1-10). Must be venue pages, not city pages. | required |
| `date` | string | Date to check availability for (YYYY-MM-DD). | today |
| `partySize` | integer | Number of guests (1-20). Availability varies by party size. | `2` |

**URL format:** Use restaurant pages like `https://resy.com/cities/new-york-ny/carbone`. City-level pages are not supported. Use the [Resy Scraper](https://apify.com/clearpath/resy-api) for city-wide searches.

### Output

Each venue returns one result with nested time slots. Venues with no availability still appear with `slotCount: 0`, confirming the check ran.

### How to Monitor Resy Availability

The main use case: schedule this actor to run periodically and get notified when slots open.

1. **Configure** — Add your target restaurant URLs, set date and party size
2. **Schedule** — Create a schedule in the Apify console (every minute for hot restaurants, hourly for general monitoring)
3. **Connect** — Attach a webhook to get notified when runs complete. Connect to Slack, Discord, Telegram, Zapier, or your own endpoint

### API Integration

#### Python

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("your_token")

run = client.actor("clearpath/resy-availability-api").call(run_input={
    "startUrls": [
        {"url": "https://resy.com/cities/new-york-ny/carbone"},
        {"url": "https://resy.com/cities/new-york-ny/don-angie"}
    ],
    "date": "2026-03-15",
    "partySize": 2
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    if item["slotCount"] > 0:
        print(f"{item['name']}: {item['slotCount']} slots available")
        for slot in item["slots"]:
            print(f"  {slot['startTime']} - {slot['type']}")
```

#### JavaScript

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'your_token' });

const run = await client.actor('clearpath/resy-availability-api').call({
    startUrls: [
        { url: 'https://resy.com/cities/new-york-ny/carbone' },
        { url: 'https://resy.com/cities/new-york-ny/don-angie' }
    ],
    date: '2026-03-15',
    partySize: 2
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.filter(i => i.slotCount > 0).forEach(item => {
    console.log(`${item.name}: ${item.slotCount} slots`);
});
```

### Data Export

- **JSON** — Nested slot arrays fully preserved
- **CSV** — Flat fields, arrays serialized
- **Excel** — Spreadsheet-ready

### FAQ

**Q: How many restaurants can I check per run?**
A: Up to 10 restaurants per run. For bulk restaurant discovery, use the [Resy Scraper](https://apify.com/clearpath/resy-api).

**Q: Do I need a Resy account?**
A: No. Availability data is fetched without authentication.

**Q: What if a restaurant has no availability?**
A: It still appears in results with `slotCount: 0` and `slots: []`. This confirms the check ran rather than silently skipping the venue.

**Q: How current is the data?**
A: Real-time. Each run fetches live availability at the moment of execution.

**Q: What are booking tokens?**
A: The `token` field in each slot is the Resy config token used to initiate a booking on the platform.

**Q: Does party size affect results?**
A: Yes. Larger parties have fewer available slots since restaurants need to accommodate more seats.

**Q: What happens with invalid URLs?**
A: Invalid or non-restaurant URLs are skipped with a warning. Valid URLs in the same batch still process normally.

### Getting Started

1. [Sign up for Apify](https://console.apify.com/sign-up) — no credit card required
2. Open Resy Availability Checker
3. Paste a restaurant URL and click **Start**
4. Schedule recurring runs and attach webhooks for monitoring

### Use with AI Assistants (OpenClaw, Claude, etc.)

Connect this actor to AI assistants via [Apify's MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com/). Ask your assistant to check availability in natural language.

#### Setup

1. Go to [mcp.apify.com](https://mcp.apify.com/) and add `clearpath/resy-availability-api` to your MCP server
2. Connect the MCP server to your AI assistant ([OpenClaw](https://docs.openclaw.ai/), Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.)

#### OpenClaw example

Add Apify's MCP server to `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:

```json5
{
  "provider": {
    "mcpServers": {
      "apify": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@apify/actors-mcp-server"],
        "env": {
          "APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Then message your OpenClaw bot on Telegram, WhatsApp, or Discord:

> "Are there any openings at Carbone this Saturday for 2?"

> "Check if Don Angie or 4 Charles has availability next Friday evening"

> "Monitor Carbone for the next week, let me know if anything opens up"

The assistant calls the Availability Checker, interprets the results, and tells you exactly which time slots are open.

### Legal Compliance

Extracts publicly available reservation data. Users must comply with Resy's terms of service and applicable data protection regulations (GDPR, CCPA).

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
