Quandoo Restaurant Search Scraper: Extract Dining & Booking Data

---

What Is Quandoo.com?

Quandoo is a global restaurant discovery and reservation platform operating across Europe, Asia, and beyond. It lists thousands of restaurants with real-time booking availability, ratings, pricing, and special offers. Manually compiling this data is impractical at scale — the Quandoo Restaurant Search Scraper automates extraction from search result pages, delivering structured records ready for analysis or integration.

---

Overview

The Quandoo Scraper targets restaurant listing pages (search/filter results) and extracts rich metadata per restaurant. It suits:

• Food tech developers building aggregator or comparison platforms
• Market researchers analyzing restaurant density, pricing, or cuisine trends by district
• Hospitality consultants benchmarking competitors in a given city or region
• Data analysts tracking booking availability and special offer patterns

The scraper supports pagination, bulk URL input, and configurable item limits, making it viable for both targeted and large-scale collection.

Input Format

{
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 200,
  "urls": [
    "https://www.quandoo.co.uk/result?destination=london&districtFilter=1871&bookable=true&onlySpecialOffers=false&page=2"
  ]
}

Field	Type	Description
urls	array	One or more Quandoo search result page URLs to scrape. Supports bulk entry. Each URL should be a /result?... search page with your desired filters applied (city, district, bookable, etc.).
max_items_per_url	integer	Maximum number of restaurant records to collect per URL. Default: 20. Set higher (e.g., 200) for broader coverage.
ignore_url_failures	boolean	If true, the scraper continues running when a URL fails instead of stopping the entire run. Recommended for bulk jobs. Default: true.

Tip: Build your search URL directly on Quandoo's website by applying filters (location, district, cuisine, bookable only, special offers), then copy the URL from your browser's address bar. To scrape multiple pages, duplicate the URL and increment the page= parameter.

How to Use

1. Build your search URL — Go to Quandoo, apply filters (city, district, bookable, special offers), and copy the results page URL.
2. Handle pagination — For more than one page, add multiple URLs with page=1, page=2, etc.
3. Configure the input — Paste URLs into the urls array. Set max_items_per_url to match your target volume.
4. Run the scraper — Start the actor and monitor progress in the run log.
5. Export — Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Best practices:

• Keep ignore_url_failures: true for multi-URL runs.
• Use Quandoo's districtFilter parameter to narrow results to a specific neighbourhood rather than scraping an entire city at once.
• Cross-reference Available Slots with Bookable to filter truly reservable restaurants.
