Talabat Scraper

Pull restaurants and full menus from Talabat across 9 MENA markets — vendor names, cuisines, star ratings, geo-coordinates, delivery fees, and every menu item with its price, image, and customization options, all in the local currency of each country. Built for food-delivery market analysts, q-commerce researchers, and restaurant lead-generation teams who need clean menu and pricing data across the Middle East without manual copy-paste from the app.

Why This Scraper?

• 9 MENA markets in one actor — United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq, each returned in its own local currency (AED, SAR, KWD, QAR, BHD, OMR, EGP, JOD, IQD).
• Full menu extraction, not just restaurant summaries — every item on a restaurant's menu as its own row: name, description, price, menu category/section, and image URL.
• Per-item customization capture — turn on choices to get each item's add-ons, sizes, and toppings, with every option's name and price plus min/max selection quantities and whether the choice is mandatory.
• Original vs. discounted price on every item — the current price and the pre-discount oldPrice side by side, so you can spot promotions and measure discount depth.
• Restaurant geo + delivery economics — latitude/longitude coordinates, delivery fee, delivery time, and minimum order value for every vendor, ready for mapping and unit-economics analysis.
• Cuisine and minimum-rating filters — narrow to 14 named cuisines (burgers, pizza, arabic, shawarma, sushi, and more) and drop any restaurant below a 1–5 star threshold.
• Two clean output tabs that join on restaurant id — Restaurants and Menu Items land in separate dataset views, linked by branch id so you can flatten menus back to their vendor in one step.
• Four ways to target vendors — search any term per market, sweep a whole city or delivery-area URL, pull a single restaurant URL, or drop in a bare restaurant id — mix and match dozens of inputs in one run and get one deduplicated result set.

{
    "search": ["burgers"],
    "country": "uae",
    "includeMenu": false,
    "maxResults": 25
}

Restaurants With Full Menus and Filters

Pizza places in Saudi Arabia rated 4+, with every menu item, capped for predictable cost:

{
    "search": ["pizza"],
    "country": "sa",
    "cuisine": "pizza",
    "minRating": 4,
    "includeMenu": true,
    "maxMenuItemsPerRestaurant": 200,
    "maxResults": 50
}

Full Detail With Customization Options

Everything — menus plus each item's add-ons, sizes, and toppings:

{
    "search": ["sushi", "japanese"],
    "country": "qa",
    "includeMenu": true,
    "includeMenuChoices": true,
    "maxMenuItemsPerRestaurant": 300,
    "maxResults": 40
}

Scrape Known Restaurants by URL

Paste Talabat restaurant or area URLs directly — the Search Filters are ignored for these:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.talabat.com/uae/restaurant/713182/mcdonalds"
    ],
    "includeMenu": true
}

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	string[]	[]	Paste Talabat restaurant or area URLs (or bare restaurant slugs). Used as-is, so the Search Filters below are ignored for these entries.
search	string[]	["burgers"]	Search terms, one per line (e.g. "burgers", "pizza", "sushi"). Each term is searched separately in the chosen country. Leave empty when pasting URLs.

Search Filters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
country	select	United Arab Emirates	Which Talabat market to search: United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt, Jordan, or Iraq.

minRating	integer	null	Only include restaurants with an average rating at or above this value (1–5). Leave empty for no minimum.

Detail & Extras

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
includeMenu	boolean	true	Visit each restaurant and return every menu item as its own row (category, name, description, price, old price, image). Turn off to keep only restaurant summary rows.
includeMenuChoices	boolean	false	For each menu item, also collect its customization options (sizes, add-ons, toppings) with prices and whether the choice is mandatory. Only applies when Include Menu Items is on.
maxMenuItemsPerRestaurant	integer	0	Cap on how many menu items to collect per restaurant. Set to 0 to collect every item. Useful to keep costs predictable on large menus.

Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum number of restaurants to collect across all searches and URLs. Set to 0 for as many as possible. Menu items are additional to this count.

Tips for Best Results

• Start small to test. Set maxResults to 10–25 on your first run to confirm the market, cuisine, and menu depth match what you need, then scale up.
• Leave includeMenuChoices off unless you need add-ons. Customization capture makes an extra request per item that has choices and noticeably increases run time — turn it on only when you specifically want sizes and add-on pricing.
• Cap large menus with maxMenuItemsPerRestaurant. Grocery and large vendors can carry 300–600+ items. A cap of 100–200 keeps menu-item volume and cost predictable while still covering the core menu.
• Turn off includeMenu for a fast vendor census. If you only need the restaurant list — names, ratings, coordinates, delivery economics — switch menus off for a much quicker, cheaper run.
• Match the cuisine filter to the market. Cuisine is filtered against each vendor's own tags, so pairing a focused search term ("shawarma") with the matching cuisine gives the tightest, most relevant set.
• Use oldPrice to find promotions. Any item where oldPrice is non-null is currently discounted — filter on it downstream to build a live deals feed per market.
• Join on branch id. Every menu item's restaurantBranchId matches a restaurant row's branchId, so you can flatten menus back to their vendor for per-restaurant rollups.

Pricing

From $1.00 per 1,000 restaurants + $0.20 per 1,000 menu items. You pay per result you actually collect — restaurants and menu items are billed separately, so a restaurants-only run never pays for menu data.

Event	Price per 1,000
Restaurant	$1.00
Menu item	$0.20

No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee. Loyalty-tier discounts (Bronze, Silver, Gold) apply automatically on the Console and lower the per-restaurant rate — from $1.20 with no discount down to $1.00 at Gold.

Because menu items are optional and capped, you control total cost with includeMenu and maxMenuItemsPerRestaurant. Here is what typical restaurant/menu mixes cost:

Run	Restaurant cost	Menu-item cost	Total
50 restaurants, ~40 items each (2,000 items)	$0.05	$0.40	$0.45
200 restaurants, ~60 items each (12,000 items)	$0.20	$2.40	$2.60
1,000 restaurants, ~50 items each (50,000 items)	$1.00	$10.00	$11.00
1,000 restaurants, menus off	$1.00	$0.00	$1.00

Restaurant costs above use the Gold rate; loyalty discounts lower them further. Platform fees depend on your Apify plan.
