## FAQ

### Which restaurant URLs should I use?

Use direct public ordering or HTML menu URLs. Supported sources include ChowNow Direct, Square Online, BentoBox and compatible structured menu pages. ChowNow links must include the company and location IDs.

### What does each result represent?

Each successful row is one menu item, with available restaurant details, category, description, base price, currency, dietary labels, image and source URL.

### What is included in the modifier summary?

When enabled and published by the source, it includes option names, price adjustments and selection constraints in a flat text summary. Some structured menus do not publish modifier details.

### Does this read ToastTab, PDF or image menus?

Toast pages need compatible publicly readable menu markup; dedicated coverage is not guaranteed. PDF and image menus are unsupported. JavaScript-only menus without public catalog data or embedded markup may be unavailable.

### Are these checkout prices?

The task extracts publicly published menu prices and available adjustments. Checkout-only offers or prices requiring a private session may be unavailable. Missing prices and other unpublished fields remain empty.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/arezdev/restaurant-menu-pricing-modifiers-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
