## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

# README

## Just Eat Restaurant Scraper

> **Disclaimer:** Unofficial tool — not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Just Eat or its affiliates. Data is read from publicly accessible UK restaurant search results only. No login. You are responsible for complying with applicable law (including GDPR where personal data appears) and the site’s terms. No warranty on accuracy or availability. Provided for informational and research use.

This Just Eat scraper reads the public UK restaurant search by postcode. Each dataset row is one restaurant: name, cuisines, star rating, review count, delivery fee, minimum order, ETA, and whether delivery is open. Use it as a Just Eat API alternative for that public list: export JSON to a dataset from Python, Node.js, or an MCP assistant.

Menus, customer reviews, and checkout prices are outside this Actor. A postcode search returns the public restaurant list for that area.

### When to use

- Pull the restaurants that deliver to a UK postcode, with fees and ratings
- Compare delivery fees and ETAs across a short list of postcodes
- Feed a research sheet or a pricing notebook from JSON

Restaurant menu pages are skipped. This Actor reads the postcode search, not a single menu.

### Key features

- UK postcode, outward code, or Just Eat area URL
- Name, cuisines, star rating, review count, address, and coordinates
- Delivery fee, fee bands, minimum order, and ETA
- Open-now filter for delivery or collection
- One row per restaurant, deduped across postcodes
- HTTP fetch, 256 MB, no browser

A busy central postcode can list more than a thousand restaurants. `maxItems` caps how many rows are saved.

### Input

| Field | Required | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `postcodes` | One of `postcodes` or `startUrls` | UK postcode or outward code, such as `SW1A 1AA` or `SW1A` |
| `startUrls` | One of `postcodes` or `startUrls` | Just Eat UK `/area/` URLs. Restaurant pages are skipped |
| `openNowOnly` | No | Keep restaurants open for delivery or collection. Default false |
| `maxItems` | No | Stop after this many rows. Default 100, maximum 2000 |

Up to 15 postcodes per run.

### FAQ

**Does this include the menu?**\
No. Each row is a restaurant from the postcode search. Menu items are not collected.

**Is this a Just Eat API alternative?**\
It reads the public restaurant search and writes a JSON dataset. No login, and it does not call a partner order API.

**Can I paste a restaurant page?**\
Restaurant pages are skipped. Use a postcode or an `/area/` URL.

**What if the postcode has no restaurants?**\
The run finishes and saves no rows for that postcode. Other postcodes in the same run still continue.

**How many postcodes per run?**\
Up to 15. `maxItems` caps the combined rows. The default is 100.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
