Getting data from Zomato 

The base URL for fetching data is https://developers.zomato.com/api/v2.1/. Every query sent to the Zomato server should have the API key sent as part of the header, as follows:

curl -X GET --header "Accept: application/json" --header "user-key: YOURAPIKEY" "https://developers.zomato.com/api/v2.1/categories"

In the preceding HTTP GET call, categories specify the handle that pulls out the various categories of restaurants that are available. Categories include delivery, takeout, and dine-in. Here is the list of handles that are available:

Handle	Description
/categories	Restaurant categories: dine-in, takeout, delivery, and many more.
/cities	Get info about the cities across the globe. Get the Zomato city ID from this query to use in search...
