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). # README ### What does Restaurant Guru Scraper do? **Restaurant Guru Scraper** extracts **restaurant listings and profile data** from [Restaurant Guru](https://restaurantguru.com/) — ratings, cuisines, price range, addresses, opening hours, and optional customer reviews. Paste a city listing URL (for example `https://restaurantguru.com/New-York`) or a restaurant profile URL and export structured data without coding. ### Why scrape Restaurant Guru? - **Restaurant discovery** — Collect top-rated venues in any city worldwide. - **Hospitality benchmarking** — Compare ratings, cuisines, and price levels across competitors. - **Agency reporting** — Feed restaurant datasets into dashboards and client reports. - **Apify platform** — Schedule runs, export JSON/CSV/Excel, monitor failures, and integrate via API. ### What data can you extract from Restaurant Guru? | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | restaurantId | Unique restaurant identifier | | name | Restaurant display name | | url | Public Restaurant Guru profile URL | | rating | Average star rating | | reviewCount | Number of votes or reviews | | cuisines | Cuisine types and dietary options | | priceRange | Price level description (e.g. Moderate) | | priceLevel | Dollar-sign price indicator | | address | Street address when shown | | metro | Nearby metro or station | | openingStatus | Current open/closed status text | | phone | Phone number on profile pages | | latitude / longitude | Coordinates when available | | imageUrl | Primary restaurant photo | | snippet | Featured review excerpt on listing cards | | reviews | Customer reviews when **Include reviews** is enabled | | searchUrl | Source city listing URL for restaurants found via search | ### How to scrape Restaurant Guru 1. Open the Actor in Apify Console. 2. Add one or more **city listing or restaurant profile URLs** under **Start URLs**. 3. Set **Maximum items** (restaurants per start URL). 4. Optionally enable **Include reviews** for restaurant profile URLs. 5. Run the Actor and download results from the dataset tab. ### Input Restaurant Guru Scraper accepts **Start URLs**, **maxItems** (per start URL), optional **Include reviews**, and optional **proxy configuration**. See the **Input** tab in Apify Console for details. Supported start URLs: - City listings: `https://restaurantguru.com/New-York` - Paginated listings: `https://restaurantguru.com/New-York/2` - Restaurant profiles: `https://restaurantguru.com/Carbone-New-York` ### Output example ```json { "restaurantId": "91910631", "restaurantSlug": "Locanut-New-York-5", "name": "Locanut", "url": "https://restaurantguru.com/Locanut-New-York-5", "rating": 4.9, "reviewCount": 999, "priceRange": "Moderate (average price $20-$30)", "priceLevel": "$$", "cuisines": "Gluten-free, Vegetarian options", "address": "14th Street/Eighth Avenue", "metro": "14th Street/Eighth Avenue", "openingStatus": "Closed until 9AM", "phone": null, "latitude": null, "longitude": null, "imageUrl": "https://img02.restaurantguru.com/c8d7-Locanut-New-York-City-meat.jpg", "snippet": "This restaurant was delicious! The salmon was perfectly seasoned and the", "isPromo": true, "searchUrl": "https://restaurantguru.com/New-York", "reviews": null } ```` You can download the dataset in JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML. ### Important note about restaurant profile pages Dedicated **`/reviews` URLs** on Restaurant Guru may return errors without a proxy. This Actor scrapes **city listing pages** (recommended) and **main restaurant profile pages**. Enable Apify Proxy if profile pages show a bot-protection screen in your region. ### How much does scraping Restaurant Guru cost? This Actor uses an HTTP crawler (no browser) and **no proxy by default**, keeping compute usage low. A typical test run with 5 restaurants per URL usually finishes in under a minute on the Apify free tier. ### FAQ **Is scraping Restaurant Guru legal?**\ Our scrapers collect only **public** content shown on Restaurant Guru pages. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws when processing personal data in reviews. **Which URLs are supported?**\ City listing pages such as `https://restaurantguru.com/New-York` and restaurant profiles such as `https://restaurantguru.com/Carbone-New-York`. Do not use `/reviews` subpages. ### Image Credit Image credit: [restaurantguru.com](https://restaurantguru.com/) # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Restaurant Guru city listing URLs (e.g. https://restaurantguru.com/New-York) or restaurant profile URLs (e.g. https://restaurantguru.com/Carbone-New-York).
