## 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.md):

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

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

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

### 🍔 JustEat Listings & Menu Scraper

Easily extract restaurant data from **Just Eat UK**. The **JustEat Listings & Menu Scraper** gathers structured restaurant listings for any postcode — and optionally their **full menus** — for market research, price tracking, and competitor analysis. No login, no browser, no third-party unblocker required.

### ✨ Features

- 🏪 **Comprehensive Restaurant Data**: name, address, geolocation, cuisines, ratings, hygiene rating, delivery cost, minimum order value, ETA, offers, and open/closed status.
- 🍽️ **Full Menu Extraction**: categories, items, descriptions, prices, item images, calorie/energy info, and modifier groups (extras, sizes, sauces).
- 📍 **Postcode-Based Discovery**: pass a full postcode (`SW1A1AA`) or just an outcode (`M1`) to pull every restaurant delivering to that area.
- 🧹 **Automatic Deduplication**: the same restaurant appearing under overlapping postcodes is returned only once.
- 💸 **Pay Per Result**: predictable pricing — pay a low rate for listings and a higher rate only when you fetch full menus.

### 🛠️ How It Works

1. **Enter Postcodes** – Provide a list of UK postcodes or outcodes (or leave empty to use a built-in list covering major UK cities).
2. **Choose Depth** – Toggle **Scrape full menus** on for complete menu data, or off for fast, cheap listings only.
3. **Run the Scraper** – Start the process and receive structured restaurant data, deduplicated and ready to download as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

### ⚙️ Input

| Field                | Type    | Default | Description                                                                                                                      |
| -------------------- | ------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `postcodes`          | array   | `[]`    | UK postcodes or outcodes to scan. Outcodes (`M1`) return all restaurants delivering to that area. Empty = built-in UK city list. |
| `scrapeMenus`        | boolean | `false` | When `true`, also fetch each restaurant's full menu (categories, items, prices, images, nutrition, modifiers).                   |
| `maxItems`           | integer | `50`    | Maximum total restaurants to scrape across all postcodes (deduplicated). Set `0` for unlimited.                                  |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object  | none    | Proxy settings. Just Eat is scrapeable without a proxy; enable residential proxies only if you hit blocking at scale.            |

Example input:

```json
{
    "postcodes": ["SW1A1AA", "M1", "B1"],
    "scrapeMenus": true,
    "maxItems": 100
}
````

### 💸 Pricing

This Actor uses **pay-per-event** pricing — you pay per result, not for compute time:

| Event                | Charged when                                                                     |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `restaurant-listing` | A restaurant is returned **without** a menu (listings-only, or menu unavailable) |
| `menu-detail`        | A restaurant is returned **with** its full menu (`scrapeMenus` enabled)          |

Each output record charges exactly one event. `menu-detail` costs more because it requires an extra page fetch and parse per restaurant. Use `maxItems` to set a hard ceiling on cost.

### 📌 Notes

This Actor collects only publicly available data and stores no personal information. Please ensure your use complies with Just Eat's Terms of Service and applicable laws. Coverage is the UK tenant (`just-eat.co.uk`) only.

# Actor input Schema

## `postcodes` (type: `array`):

UK postcodes or outcodes to discover restaurants for. Either a full postcode (e.g. `SW1A1AA`) or just the outcode (e.g. `M1`) works — the outcode returns every restaurant delivering to that area. Leave empty to use a built-in list covering major UK cities.

## `scrapeMenus` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, the Actor also fetches each restaurant's full menu (categories, items, prices, images, nutrition, modifiers) from its menu page. This is much slower and more expensive than listings only — filter your postcodes accordingly.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum total number of restaurants to scrape across all postcodes. Restaurants are deduplicated, so this is the cap on output records. Set to 0 for unlimited.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. JustEat is scrapeable without a proxy, so this defaults to none. Enable residential proxies only if you hit blocking at scale.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "postcodes": [
    "SW1A1AA",
    "M1",
    "B1"
  ],
  "scrapeMenus": false,
  "maxItems": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```
