We are not providing opening times yet - we just check if place is permanently closed or not. But it is in the works under our experimental enrichment API (which is not yet open to public)

I started scraping restaurant websites in Zürich and extracted and hand-checked opening hours in the OpenStreetMap format. The goal is to build a corpus for evaluation purposes which maps website texts to correct opening hours strings for all restaurants in Switzerland. Maybe you can use that to benchmark your own hours extracting system... https://github.com/wipfli/opening-hours/

Really interesting!

I also launched recently a project to extract opening hours from OSM websites : https://codeberg.org/raphaelb/poi-complete

I also added a very basic web interface for validating the predictions: https://poicomplete.raphaelb.net

I don't know how well does Haiku handle OSM opening hours syntax, but with Kimi K2.5, I got better results when I asked it to provide opening hour ranges for every day of the week, and then constructed the opening hours manually.

FWIW it may be legal to break terms of use

Interesting. Can you elaborate more on that? I was wondering the same thing with other providers, if I can scrape data from their platforms. On what grounds do you think it might be okay?

On the grounds that there's no law that says someone can put some instructions on their website and you have to follow those instructions.

You should consult a lawyer just in case there is such an obscure law, but I don't think there is. Browsing a website doesn't create a contract between you and the website operator, even if the operator says it does.
