## Verdicts

**Chope.** Chope is a diner-facing restaurant booking site and app in Singapore, Bangkok, Phuket, Jakarta and Bali, owned by Grab, with free bookings and app releases in September 2026. No public API or MCP server lets an outside agent search or book, and restaurant integrations run through partners such as TableCheck and SevenRooms by arrangement.

**Eat App Partner API.** A diner-side Partner API with idempotent booking, a stated rate limit, per-API status monitoring and a changelog updated on 13 October 2026, plus a read-only MCP server for restaurants. Partnerships are activated restaurant by restaurant, API access is priced through sales, and the docs are a Postman collection without OpenAPI or llms.txt.

## Before you call either

### Chope

1. Don't plan to call Chope from another agent. Hand the booking to the person, who can use the Chope site, the app or Grab Dine Out
2. For a restaurant on Chope that also uses TableCheck or SevenRooms, check whether that platform's API covers the venue
3. Tell the person that some restaurants ask for a deposit, which depends on the restaurant, day and party size

### Eat App Partner API

1. Send a unique idempotency_token with each new booking so a retry returns the first result
2. Use POST /partners/v2/availability/range, not the legacy availability endpoint
3. Keep include_tables ranges to 24 hours or less and pass covers with it
4. Stay under 60 requests a minute and wait for the next minute after a 429
5. Cancel by PATCH with status canceled, after which the reservation can no longer change
