What it does
A command-line tool for searching Israeli restaurants and checking live table availability through the public APIs that power Ontopo. It searches venues by name or city, checks availability on a single date or across a multi-day range, retrieves menu details with section and price filters, and outputs a booking URL per venue. Availability is fetched live, but the tool does not place reservations - users complete the booking manually on Ontopo's website. Supports Hebrew and English.
When to use it
- Finding which restaurants have tables open on a given night
- Scanning availability across a date range for dinner planning
- Pulling a venue menu before deciding to book
- Filtering Israeli restaurants by city, party size, or safe-zone tag
