Talabat Scraper [Only $0.50/1k 💰] — Restaurants, Menus & Price Data Across the Middle East

Extract Talabat restaurants, full menus and item prices for food delivery market research, competitor price monitoring and restaurant database building across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq — using Talabat's own internal API. No browser, no proxy, no login required.

Main Use Cases

• Talabat restaurant menu monitoring — track menu item prices, discounts and old prices on a daily schedule
• MENA food delivery market research — analyze cuisine mix, restaurant ratings and delivery economics per country
• Competitor price intelligence — monitor what chains (McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut, local brands) charge per item in each city
• Building structured restaurant databases — bulk-export restaurant listings, GPS coordinates, delivery fees and minimum orders for UAE, KSA, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq
• Food delivery app & aggregation development — power menus, price comparisons and delivery coverage views with live Talabat data
• Cloud kitchen & franchise location scouting — map restaurant density by area and cuisine before entering a new market

How It Works

The actor talks directly to Talabat's public Next.js search and menu endpoints (/nextSearchApi/v3/vendor, /nextMenuBff/branch-menus/…/choices), so it needs no browser, no proxy and no CAPTCHA solving. You choose a country, then search by cuisine/restaurant keywords, crawl a full area/city catalogue, or paste specific Talabat URL(s). The actor auto-paginates, retries politely and paces requests to stay well under rate limits.

Extract Talabat Restaurants With Ratings, Delivery Info & GPS

Every restaurant record includes structured location data, delivery economics and payment methods:

• Restaurant name, branch, vendor/branch IDs and menu URL
• Cuisine tags + numeric IDs
• Rating, total ratings/reviews
• Delivery fee, minimum order amount, average delivery time
• Accepted payment methods (credit card, debit card, cash)
• Latitude/longitude, area, city, country and currency
• Logo and hero image URLs
• Search context (query, sponsored, price tag, delivery charges) when found via keyword

Collect Full Talabat Menus With Item Prices & Discounts

Enable scrapeMenu to also pull every restaurant's full menu, parsed from the server-rendered page data:

• Menu categories and sections (e.g. Sandwiches, Mains, Desserts)
• Item name, price, old price (pre-discount), rating, image, description
• Discount flags, top-rated flags, section names

Extract Meal Choice Trees (Sizes, Add-ons, Extras)

Enable scrapeMenuChoices to fetch the complete customization tree for every customizable item — the same options a customer sees at checkout:

• Choice groups (e.g. "Size", "Extra Sauce", "Cook Level")
• Each option's name, price, old price and pre-selected state
• Selection rules: min/max quantity, single vs. multiple selection, mandatory sections
• Nested sub-options

Countries Covered

UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq.

Note: as of 2026 talabat.com serves active restaurants only in some of these countries (Saudi Arabia appears discontinued on the web). Countries with no live results are skipped automatically.

Input

All fields below come from the actor's input schema. Only country has a default; everything else is optional.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Notes
country	string (enum)	No	uae	Target country: uae, saudi_arabia, kuwait, qatar, bahrain, oman, jordan, egypt, iraq
area	string	No	""	Area name, slug or ID (e.g. "Abu Hail", "abu-hail", 1169). Crawls the area's full restaurant catalogue.
searchKeywords	array	No	[]	Cuisine/restaurant keywords (e.g. "pizza", "burger", "koshari"). One query per keyword, paginated.
startUrls	array	No	[]	Direct talabat.com listing or restaurant menu URLs.
scrapeMenu	bool	No	true	Fetch the full menu (categories, items, prices) per restaurant. One extra request per restaurant.
scrapeMenuChoices	bool	No	false	Fetch choice trees (sizes, add-ons, extras with prices). One request per customizable item.
maxVendors	int	No	0	Cap on restaurants per keyword/area. 0 = unlimited.
maxItemsPerVendor	int	No	0	Cap on menu items saved per restaurant. 0 = unlimited.
requestDelayMillis	int	No	0	Extra per-request pause. Prefer maxRequestsPerSecond for pacing.
maxConcurrency	int	No	10	Parallel workers for listing/menu/choice requests (max 50).
maxRequestsPerSecond	int	No	10	Global request rate cap shared by all workers (max 100).
extendOutputFunction	string (JS fn)	No	""	Custom output transform: (object, input, context) => object.
proxyConfiguration	object	No	Apify datacenter	Optional. Use RESIDENTIAL for large scrapes to avoid per-IP throttling (429). 429/503 are auto-handled with global backoff either way.

Output

One dataset record per restaurant. Includes location, delivery info, payment methods, menu URL, and (when enabled) the full menu and choice trees.

Integrations & Automation

• Apify API — run the actor programmatically from JavaScript, Python or any language via the Apify REST API.
• Webhooks — fire a webhook when each run completes to pipe results into your own pipeline.
• Google Sheets / Excel — export any dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel with one click in Apify Console.
• Scheduling — recommend a daily schedule for menu price monitoring (menus change multiple times a day), a weekly schedule for market research snapshots, and on-demand for one-off database builds. Recurring schedules also improve the actor's Store recommendations.

FAQ

Why use this actor instead of the official Talabat API?

Talabat's official Partner API is restricted to registered restaurant partners — you must request API keys through your account manager, and it manages your own catalogue and orders, not public restaurant/menu data across the marketplace. There is no public API for browsing all Talabat restaurants, menus and prices. The actor uses Talabat's own public Next.js data endpoints without login, so you can extract the same data any visitor sees, at scale, without approval.

What are the alternatives to this Talabat scraper / Talabat data source?

Competing options include the official Talabat Partner API (partners only), generic scraping APIs such as ScrapingBee, Bright Data or Actowiz, and other Apify Talabat actors. This actor's edge: pure HTTP via Talabat's internal API — no browser, no proxy, no per-item surcharges — with menu items billed at only $0.0002 and restaurants at $0.0005, roughly half the price of comparable actors.

Does this actor scrape Talabat menus without login?

Yes. All data comes from publicly visible pages and Talabat's public Next.js endpoints. No login, no session, no API key required.

Can I monitor Talabat menu prices on a schedule?

Yes. Run the actor with scrapeMenu: true on a daily schedule via Apify's scheduler, then diff prices between runs. oldPrice is populated when an item is discounted, so promotional pricing is easy to detect (filter oldPrice > price).

Can I scrape Talabat in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar or Egypt?

Yes. country accepts saudi_arabia, kuwait, qatar, bahrain, oman, jordan, egypt and iraq in addition to uae. Some countries (notably Saudi Arabia on the web) return no active restaurants and are skipped automatically.

Does this actor generate merchant or B2B leads?

It returns every field a lead-scoring pipeline needs — restaurant name, area, city, GPS, cuisine, rating, popularity (total ratings), delivery economics and payment methods — structured per restaurant. Lead scoring can be built on top of the dataset; the actor itself does not compute a lead score.

Which currency are menu prices in?

Prices are returned in the country's local currency as displayed on Talabat — AED (UAE), SAR (Saudi Arabia), KWD (Kuwait), QAR (Qatar), BHD (Bahrain), OMR (Oman), JOD (Jordan), EGP (Egypt), IQD/IQD-equivalent (Iraq). The country.currency field on every record tells you which currency applies.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Purpose: Returns one dataset record per Talabat restaurant, including structured location/delivery/payment metadata and, when enabled, the full menu with item prices and choice trees.

Minimal working input:

{
  "country": "uae",
  "searchKeywords": ["pizza"],
  "maxVendors": 10
}

Variant inputs:

• Area catalogue (no keyword): { "country": "uae", "area": "dubai", "maxVendors": 50 }
• Direct URLs: { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.talabat.com/uae/restaurant/45079/al-farooj-al-shami-al-muraqqabat" }] }
• With menus + choice trees: { "country": "kuwait", "searchKeywords": ["burger"], "scrapeMenu": true, "scrapeMenuChoices": true }

Output fields (dataset): source, scrapedAt, country{id,code,slug,name,currency}, area{id,name,slug}, city{id,name,slug}, listingUrl, vendorId, branchId, name, branchName, cuisine, cuisines[], rate, totalReviews, totalRatings, deliveryFee, minimumOrderAmount, avgDeliveryTime, deliveryEstimate, accepts{creditCard,debitCard,cash}, status, flags{...}, location{lat,lng}, images{logo,heroImage}, promotions{text,discountText}, menuUrl, search{...}, menu{count,categories[]}.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• searchKeywords and area both trigger searches; startUrls skip search entirely and go straight to the given URLs. If startUrls is set, the other modes are not used.
• With no maxVendors, the actor scrapes all matching restaurants — set maxVendors explicitly to bound cost and runtime.
• scrapeMenu (default true) adds one request per restaurant; scrapeMenuChoices (default false) adds one request per customizable item and is billed per item — enable only when choice-level data is actually needed.
• area accepts a name, slug, or numeric ID (e.g. "Abu Hail", "abu-hail", 1169).
• Some countries (e.g. Saudi Arabia on the web) currently return no active restaurants; runs that find none complete with zero records rather than erroring.

Billing: pay-per-event — $0.0005 per restaurant record + $0.0002 per menu item + $0.0002 per choice tree fetched + a one-time actor-start event per run.
