## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Swiggy MCP Server

Give your **AI assistant live access to Swiggy** (India's largest food‑delivery
platform). This actor runs a **Model Context Protocol (MCP) server** so agents like
**Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and n8n** can search restaurants, fetch full menus with
prices, search dishes, and geocode locations on demand — no scraping code required.

It also runs as a **classic scraper** (input → dataset) when you just want a batch of rows.

### Who it's for

- **AI‑assistant & agent builders** who need live Indian food‑delivery data in their tools.
- **Analysts** doing ad‑hoc restaurant/menu lookups from Claude or Cursor.
- **SaaS teams** embedding Swiggy data into LLM workflows.

### MCP tools

| Tool                 | Description                                                                                                |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `search_restaurants` | Search or list restaurants near an Indian location — rating, cuisines, cost for two, delivery ETA, offers. |
| `get_menu`           | Fetch a restaurant's full menu (categories → items with prices, veg flags, availability) by ID or URL.     |
| `search_dishes`      | Find restaurants matching a dish keyword near a location.                                                  |
| `geocode`            | Resolve an Indian place/address to coordinates.                                                            |

### Connect your AI assistant

1. Start the actor in **Standby mode** (default) — it serves MCP over Streamable HTTP.
2. Point your MCP client at the actor's standby URL + `/mcp`:

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "swiggy": {
            "url": "https://<your-actor-standby-url>/mcp"
        }
    }
}
````

3. Ask your assistant things like *"Find top‑rated biryani places in Koramangala and
   show the menu for the first one."*

### Example tool call

```json
// search_restaurants
{ "location": "Bangalore", "query": "pizza", "limit": 10 }
```

```json
// get_menu
{ "restaurant": "12808", "location": "Bangalore" }
```

### Classic (dataset) mode

Run it normally with an input to push restaurant rows to a dataset:

```json
{ "location": "Bangalore", "searchQuery": "biryani", "maxRestaurants": 20 }
```

### Use cases

- **Conversational food discovery** inside an AI product.
- **Agentic price/menu lookups** for a specific restaurant on demand.
- **Location‑aware restaurant search** as a tool in a larger agent workflow.

### FAQ

**Which countries?** India only — Swiggy's coverage.

**Do I need an API key?** No. The actor handles Swiggy's anti‑bot challenge automatically.

**What transport does the MCP server use?** Streamable HTTP at `/mcp`.

**Is the data live?** Yes — every tool call queries Swiggy in real time.

**Is this legal?** It accesses publicly available data; use the output in line with
Swiggy's terms and applicable laws.

# Actor input Schema

## `location` (type: `string`):

Indian city or area to browse in classic (non-MCP) run mode, e.g. "Bangalore". In MCP mode, the AI agent passes this per tool call.

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Dish or restaurant keyword for classic run mode (e.g. "biryani").

## `lat` (type: `number`):

Exact latitude (overrides location).

## `lng` (type: `number`):

Exact longitude.

## `maxRestaurants` (type: `integer`):

Max restaurants to return in classic run mode.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "location": "Bangalore",
  "maxRestaurants": 20
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "location": "Bangalore"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("axlymxp/swiggy-mcp-server").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
