People reach this page with three questions. Which countries is Wolt in? Does a proxy or a VPN help? And how do you get its menus and prices? This page answers from the Wolt terms for Germany and Finland, the Wolt developer guides, releases from Wolt and DoorDash, and what the site did to our server. We read all of them on 28 September 2026. The short answer: the Wolt home page lists 30 countries, and its Berlin page opened for our server in the United States. The terms ban bots and scraping. The APIs serve merchants and their software partners.
Where Wolt runs
Wolt is based in Helsinki, was founded in 2014 and joined DoorDash in 2022. It also runs its own grocery stores under the brand Wolt Market. In March 2024 its newsroom gave the count: "DoorDash operates in over 30 countries today, 27 of which are with the Wolt product and brand".
On 25 February 2026 DoorDash announced it is "exiting four countries across its Deliveroo and Wolt brands: Qatar, Singapore, Japan, and Uzbekistan". Japan and Uzbekistan are the two Wolt countries in that list. In September 2026 the home page lists 30 countries under "Explore Wolt cities":
- Nordics and Baltics: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden.
- Central and Western Europe: Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia.
- Southern and Southeast Europe: Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Kosovo, Malta, North Macedonia, Romania and Serbia.
- Further east: Azerbaijan, Georgia, Israel and Kazakhstan.
The page that picks a country for the terms still lists 32 places, the 30 plus Japan and Uzbekistan. But the Wolt pages for Japan and Uzbekistan now lead to a 404 page.
What Wolt did to our server
We sent plain requests from our server in St. Louis on 28 September 2026. Each one used a browser user agent, no cookies, no JavaScript and no proxy.
| request | answer |
|---|---|
| the home page | HTTP 200 after a redirect, with the country list |
| the Berlin page | HTTP 200, with venues, delivery times and ratings |
| the pages for Japan and Uzbekistan | a redirect to a 404 page |
| robots.txt | HTTP 200, and it disallows nothing |
| the developer site | HTTP 200 |
So a look at another country needs no proxy. The Berlin page came back to a server in the United States, with venue names, offers, delivery times and ratings. The help page for Germany mentions neither VPNs nor proxies. For login trouble it says to check the email address, open the login link on the same device, and then write to support.
What the terms say
The German terms were updated on 23 July 2025 and are valid from 8 September 2025. Section 6.2 opens with a limit: "You are not permitted to use the Wolt-Service or any content thereof for other than non-commercial purposes". Then it names the tools: "any robot, spider, web crawler, extraction software, automated process and / or device". Their use "to scrape, copy and / or monitor any portion of the Wolt-Service is strictly forbidden".
The Finnish terms were updated on 2 July 2026 and say it in other words. A user will not "use bots or other automated methods to use the Wolt Service". Nor will a user "collect, use, copy, or transfer any information obtained from the Wolt Service without the consent of Wolt". And the service may not be reached "except through the interfaces expressly provided by Wolt, such as the Wolt App and Wolt Website".
The robots.txt file on wolt.com disallows nothing for any crawler. The terms still bind every user, and they ban bots.
| what the terms bar | where |
|---|---|
| bots, crawlers and extraction software | Germany, 6.2 |
| use other than non-commercial | Germany, 6.2 |
| collecting information without consent | Finland, 13.6 |
| access other than the Wolt app and website | Finland, 13.6 |
| an account under a fake identity | Finland, 13.6 |
| selling or transferring accounts | Germany, 6.2 |
| a new profile after a block | Germany, 2.5 |
| duplicating, selling or transferring offers | Finland, 7.2 |
Accounts and credits come next. Wolt may block a user who breaks the terms or abuses the service, or when it has reason to believe in fraud. "A blocked User is prohibited from registering with the Wolt-Service again under a different profile and / or name". The list in 6.2 also bars "Selling or otherwise transferring user accounts or data contained in the app".
The Finnish terms add that promotional offers "may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner". Credits and tokens "will be nullified if Wolt detects any abuse", and Wolt then bills the amount the credits paid. The Community Standards sum it up: "Misusing the platform, including fraud, false information, or attempts to gain unfair advantage, harms the community and may lead to account restrictions or removal."
The official route to data: the partner APIs
The developer site offers two things. Wolt Marketplace integrations connect a merchant to Wolt through Order, Menu and Venue APIs. Wolt Drive delivers the orders a seller takes in its own web store. The guides are written for restaurants, shops, and the point-of-sale and middleware firms that serve them.
One requirement in the restaurant guide is plain: "You have a merchant ready and wanting to use this integration with your system and Wolt." After a request, Wolt sends its minimum requirements and terms. Then come test credentials, a sandbox, a demo, and a pilot at one venue before the full launch. The FAQ adds three facts:
- "Wolt APIs are free to use."
- A contract comes first: "we have standard T&Cs that are sent out before we can share access to our environment".
- Wolt takes no outside data feeds: "we only allow integration towards our APIs".
Access runs through OAuth. Merchants "grant integration partners controlled access to their Wolt venues". An access token lasts one hour, and a refresh token lasts 30 days and works once. The APIs are the same in every country, with some fields and rules that differ by country.
The Menu API can "pull the menu payload as-is from Wolt", one venue at a time. Pushing a full menu is reserved for restaurants. Each call has a limit per venue, and "exceeding these limits will result in 429 errors".
| Menu API call | limit per venue |
|---|---|
| create a menu | 1 request in 15 minutes |
| update items | 1 request in 15 minutes |
| update options | 1 request in 15 minutes |
| get the menu | 1 request in 15 minutes |
So a chain that wants its own menus and prices in every city has a route: the Menu API, venue by venue. None of the guides offers the menus of other venues.
Couriers
Courier work is not a network question either. The courier page for Germany asks for "ID and proof of right to work". Its FAQ says a courier must be "18 years or older, and in possession of a valid work permit". No proxy changes that.
If you use proxies for other work
Nothing on this page routes Wolt traffic through a proxy. The Berlin page opened without one, and the terms ban bots. To test your own site or app from other countries, see geo-testing with proxies. For other work where a proxy is allowed, see rotating and static residential proxies, sticky and rotating sessions and how to use proxies with Playwright. Our free proxy list and proxy checker cost nothing. Our residential and ISP proxies are on the pricing page, and residential traffic starts at $0.44/GB.
The limits of this page
We made plain requests without JavaScript, from one server in the United States. We did not enter an address, log in, order, or test whether Wolt detects a VPN or a proxy. We read the terms for Germany and Finland; each country has its own version. We did not apply for API access, so the steps come from the guides. The DoorDash release comes from an archived copy, because the investor site answered our server with a bot check. This page is due for a check by 28 December 2026.
