🚚 Roaming Hunger Food Truck Scraper — Leads, Cuisines & Contacts

Build food-truck and mobile-caterer lead lists in minutes. Pick a city — any of the hundreds Roaming Hunger covers — and this actor pulls every listed truck with its public website, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Yelp, plus cuisine tags, average rating, review and booking counts, the menu URL, and the truck's full service fleet (truck/cart, service radius, cost per mile). Run it on a schedule to catch new trucks as they list. The cleanest food-truck lead source on Apify.

No login, no API key, no browser rendering. Roaming Hunger serves all of this from a fast public JSON backend, so runs are quick and reliable.

Why this one

Roaming Hunger is the largest US food-truck & mobile-catering marketplace (~300–400 trucks per major city), and no other Apify actor covers it:

• ✅ Website + Instagram + Facebook + Twitter + Yelp are public on the listings
• ✅ Cuisine tags (Mexican, Tacos, BBQ, Coffee, …) and average rating + review count per truck
• ✅ Booking activity — total, catering, and vending bookings (a real "is this vendor active?" signal)
• ✅ Service fleet — truck vs. cart vs. drop-off, free miles, max miles, cost per mile, minimums
• ✅ A new-truck monitor with Slack / email / webhook alerts — watch any city for new vendors

Monitor & alert setup

1. Run once with your cities + monitorMode: true (the first run baselines every existing truck).
2. Create an Apify Schedule (e.g. daily) for the same input.
3. Add a slackWebhookUrl, webhookUrl, and/or emailRecipients — each subsequent run outputs and alerts only new trucks. State persists in a named key-value store, so nothing is double-reported.

Notes

• Public directory data. Names, websites, and social handles are public on Roaming Hunger. You are responsible for compliant outreach — follow CAN-SPAM / GDPR / CASL.
• Coverage: every city Roaming Hunger lists (hundreds across the US) — find slugs at roaminghunger.com/food-trucks/.
• No double-counting — a truck serving multiple cities is emitted once per run, and monitor mode remembers what it has seen.

FAQ

Do I need a Roaming Hunger account or API key? No — the data is public and the actor needs no login or key.

How current is the data? It's read live from the same backend the Roaming Hunger site itself uses, on every run.

How do I find my city's slug? Open roaminghunger.com/food-trucks — every city page is /food-trucks/<slug>/ (e.g. austin-tx). Or just enter "Austin, TX" and the actor converts it.

What does enrichDetails add? Cuisine tags, average rating, review count, booking counts (total / catering / vending), the full description, and the service fleet with radius + cost per mile. Turn it off for a faster contacts-only pull.

Does it get phone numbers or emails? Roaming Hunger doesn't expose phones/emails publicly — you get website + Instagram + Facebook + Twitter + Yelp, which is what's public. Pair the website field with an email-enrichment actor for inboxes.

Can I scrape multiple cities in one run? Yes — add as many slugs as you like to cities; maxItems caps the combined total (set 0 for everything).

What's total_bookings? The number of bookings the truck has done through Roaming Hunger — a strong signal of an active, revenue-generating vendor.

What's level? Roaming Hunger's own 1–5 quality score for the listing.

How does monitor mode avoid duplicates? Seen truck IDs are stored per city-set scope in a named key-value store that persists across runs; only unseen IDs are output/alerted.

Is this legal? It collects publicly displayed business-directory data. Review Roaming Hunger's terms and your local laws; you are responsible for how you use the data.
