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 ## Foodbag Belgium Scraper -- Weekly Menus, Dishes, Prices & Nutrition Extract the full weekly menu from [Foodbag.be](https://www.foodbag.be) -- the Belgian meal kit delivery service. Every dish with names in Dutch and French, prices per portion, nutrition values, cooking times, dietary tags, chef info, protein options, and sold-out status. No login, no cookies, no API key required. ### What is Foodbag Scraper? Foodbag is one of Belgium's leading meal kit companies. Every week they publish a new menu of 40+ dishes across their formulas (Original, Veggie, Quick & Easy, Sana, Kant&Klaar / Heat & Eat, and a la carte). The menu is fully bilingual (Dutch and French) and includes rich structured data per dish: nutrition breakdowns per portion and per 100g, cooking times, allergen-free tags, premium supplements, and per-persons pricing. This actor scrapes the public weekly menu pages and returns one clean JSON item per dish. What you can build with it: - **Menu monitoring** -- track which dishes Foodbag rotates in and out week over week, and which formulas they push. - **Competitive intelligence** -- rival meal kit services (HelloFresh, Marley Spoon) and food retailers monitor Foodbag's dish selection, pricing per portion, supplements, and dietary trend adoption in the Belgian market. - **Nutritional analysis** -- dietitians and health tech companies analyse commercial meal kit nutrition profiles using the per-portion and per-100g values on every dish. - **Price tracking** -- follow the standard box price ladder (1 to 6 persons), a la carte pricing, and per-dish supplements over time. - **Meal planning apps** -- combine this actor with our [HelloFresh Belgium Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/hellofresh-scraper) to compare Belgian meal kit menus side by side. ### What data does Foodbag Scraper extract? Each dish contains: - **Dish names** -- in Dutch (`nameNL`) and French (`nameFR`), always both - **Subtitle** -- short description in your selected language - **Tag** -- highlight label like "Klassieker" or "Nieuw" - **Prices** -- price per portion in euros (standard 2-person box), base price, premium supplement, and the full box price ladder per persons count including a la carte prices - **Nutrition** -- energy (kcal), fat, saturated fat, carbs, sugar, fiber, protein, and salt -- per portion and per 100g - **Cooking time** -- total preparation time in minutes - **Chef** -- the Foodbag chef who created the dish - **Dietary tags** -- allergen-free labels like "Zonder gluten" or "Sans lactose" - **Protein options** -- add-on or swap proteins with their own prices and sizes - **Availability** -- persons counts offered (1-6), sold-out status per portion size - **Image** -- high-resolution dish photo - **Week** -- menu week code (e.g. `W29Y2026`) and week start date ### How to scrape Foodbag data 1. Open the actor on Apify and click **Try for free**. 2. Leave the input as-is to get the current week's menu, or set a specific week. 3. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish (typically under a minute). 4. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel. #### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `week` | String | No | Week in `W{week}Y{year}` format, e.g. `"W29Y2026"`. Use `"current"` or leave empty for the current week. Foodbag publishes about 4 weeks ahead. | | `language` | String | No | `"nl"` (default) or `"fr"`. Controls subtitle, tags, and product names. Dish names are always returned in both languages. | | `maxResults` | Integer | No | Maximum dishes to return (default: 100). A weekly menu has around 40 dishes. | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings. Foodbag is low anti-bot; the default datacenter proxies work fine. | #### Example input ```json { "week": "current", "language": "nl", "maxResults": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` **Tips:** - Leave `week` empty or set `"current"` -- the actor follows Foodbag's own redirect to the active menu week. - Future weeks work as soon as Foodbag publishes them (usually 4 weeks ahead). If a week does not exist yet, the run fails with a clear message instead of returning an empty dataset. - Prices are converted to euros. `pricePerPortion` is based on the standard 2-person box and includes the dish supplement, so it matches what you see on the site. - Schedule the actor weekly (Monday morning) to build a historical archive of Foodbag menus. ### Output One item per dish: ```json { "dishId": "a0MJv00000Ea8biMAB", "week": "W29Y2026", "nameNL": "Traiteur stoofvlees met frietjes", "nameFR": "Carbonnades du traiteur et frites", "subtitle": "en een fris slaatje", "tag": "Klassieker", "imageUrl": "https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/smartmat-production/a1MJv00000Joq5JMAR_920x920.jpg", "pricePerPortion": 8.05, "basePricePerPortion": 5.06, "supplementPerPortion": 2.99, "priceVariants": [ { "persons": 1, "boxPrice": 6.2, "aLaCartePrice": 6.51 }, { "persons": 2, "boxPrice": 10.12, "aLaCartePrice": 10.4 }, { "persons": 4, "boxPrice": 18.2, "aLaCartePrice": 18.72 } ], "personsAvailable": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], "nutrition": { "perPortion": { "energy": 525.72, "protein": 40.4, "fat": 5.99, "carbs": 72.13, "sugar": 20.18, "fiber": 11.29, "salt": 4.08, "saturated_fat": 1.43 }, "per100g": { "energy": 64.39, "protein": 4.95, "fat": 0.73, "carbs": 8.83, "sugar": 2.47, "fiber": 1.38, "salt": 0.5, "saturated_fat": 0.18 } }, "cookingTime": 30, "chef": "Chef Caroline", "primaryTags": [], "dietaryTags": ["Zonder noten"], "proteinOptions": [ { "productName": "stoofvlees", "portionAmount": 1, "price": 10.75, "sizeQuantity": 500, "sizeUnit": "g", "available": true } ], "isALaCarte": true, "soldOut": false, "soldOutPersons": [], "weekStartDate": "2026-07-13", "url": "https://www.foodbag.be/nl/menu/W29Y2026", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-03T09:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### FAQ #### Does this actor need my Foodbag login? No. It only reads the public weekly menu pages that anyone can open in a browser. No cookies, no account, no API key. #### How current is the data? Live. Every run fetches the menu page at that moment, so prices, sold-out flags, and dish lineups reflect the site in real time. #### Which weeks can I scrape? The current week plus roughly 4 upcoming weeks -- whatever Foodbag has published. Past weeks are removed from the site and cannot be scraped. #### What do the price fields mean exactly? Foodbag prices meals per box formula and persons count, not per individual dish. `priceVariants` gives the standard box price and a la carte price per persons count. `basePricePerPortion` divides the standard 2-person box by two, and `pricePerPortion` adds the dish's premium supplement on top. Premium dishes (like fresh traiteur meals) carry a `supplementPerPortion` above 0. #### Is it legal to scrape Foodbag? This actor collects only publicly available product data -- no personal information. Review Foodbag's terms of service and consult a legal professional for your specific use case. #### Can I get the menu in French? Yes. Set `language` to `"fr"` and subtitles, tags, and product names come back in French. Dish names are always included in both Dutch and French regardless of this setting. ### Related actors - [HelloFresh Belgium Scraper](https://apify.com/studio-amba/hellofresh-scraper) -- weekly recipes, ingredients, and nutrition from HelloFresh Belgium ### Support Found an issue or need an extra field?
