Grab Driver Nearby Scraper

Get real-time Grab driver locations and availability for any coordinates. Returns driver count, exact positions, ETA, and bearing data directly from Grab's internal mobile API.

What does Grab Drivers Nearby do?

This Actor queries Grab's authenticated mobile API (p.grabtaxi.com) to retrieve live driver data around one or more locations. For each location you provide, it returns:

• Available driver count — how many drivers are in the area
• Driver coordinates — exact lat/lng of each nearby driver
• ETA — estimated pickup time in seconds (min/max range)
• Bearing — direction each driver is heading
• Position history — recent trail of each driver's movement

Why use Grab Drivers Nearby?

• Driver availability analysis — monitor how many cars are available across city zones
• Heatmap data — map driver density across a city at different times
• Transport research — understand ride-hailing supply patterns
• Location intelligence — compare availability between business locations
