Just Eat UK Restaurants Scraper - Ratings, Fees & ETAs by Postcode

Every Just Eat UK restaurant that delivers to (or is collectable near) a postcode, as flat, typed dataset rows: star rating and review count, cuisines, address with latitude/longitude, open-now flags, the delivery fee ladder, minimum order, delivery time range, distance and the menu URL. Filter by cuisine, open now and minimum rating.

What you are paying for, honestly

The data comes from the discovery endpoint behind justeat.co.uk's own restaurant search (uk.api.just-eat.io). It needs no login or API key, and anyone who finds it can read the same JSON. What this actor adds:

• One row per restaurant, flat. Fees arrive in pence inside a separate block keyed by id, ratings as nested objects, cuisines as objects, coordinates as GeoJSON [lng, lat]. Here they are joined and named columns, fees in pounds.
• Many postcodes in one run, on a schedule. Run a list of postcodes daily and send the dataset to Sheets, a webhook, S3 or your warehouse.
• Filters by cuisine, open now and minimum rating, applied before the row cap.
• The refusal handling. Just Eat sits behind Cloudflare. Refused (HTTP 403) and timed-out requests are retried from a fresh proxy address.

Input

Field	Type	Default	What it does
postcodes	array	LS1 6AN	UK postcodes, or outcodes such as LS1 for a wider area. Spaces and case do not matter. Required.
maxItems	integer	100	Most rows per postcode, after the filters, in Just Eat's listing order. Each row is billed, so this is a spending cap.
cuisine	string	-	Keep restaurants with a cuisine whose label or slug contains this text (pizza, indian, fish-and-chips).
openNowOnly	boolean	false	Keep only restaurants open for delivery or collection at run time.
minRating	number	-	Keep only restaurants rated at least this many stars (0-5). Unrated restaurants are dropped when set.
proxyConfiguration	proxy	Apify datacenter	Measured 2026-10-07: the Apify platform address and datacenter proxy get 200; a home address in Japan gets Cloudflare 403.

Just Eat returns a postcode's whole restaurant list in one response (2,528 restaurants, 2 MB, for LS1 6AN), so maxItems limits rows and cost, not download size. An outcode returns more (2,827 for LS1).

Output

One row per restaurant per searched postcode. The same restaurant found from two postcodes is two rows, because fee, minimum order, ETA, distance and open-for-delivery all depend on where you search from.

Dataset views: Restaurants and Delivery fees and times.

Null means "not given", never zero

• rating is null when Just Eat reports 0 stars. It writes 0 for restaurants nobody has rated and also for some that have ratings but show no stars (measured: ratings counts of 1 to 96 with 0 stars). No restaurant is rated zero stars, so 0 is a gap. rating_count is left as sent.
• On a collection-only restaurant Just Eat sends delivery cost 0 and minimum order 0. Those are fillers, not "free delivery", so delivery_cost, minimum_order and the delivery ETA are null and delivery_fee_bands is empty. On a restaurant that does deliver, 0 is real (a free tier, or no minimum).
• delivery_cost is the cheapest band on the fee ladder (measured equal to it on 196 of 196 restaurants that publish one); delivery_fee_bands is the whole ladder.
• deals is passed through as sent. It was an empty list on every one of 2,059 restaurants read on 2026-10-07, so this actor cannot yet tell you what a deal looks like.
• tags includes Just Eat's internal flags (for example exclude-from-order-action).
• A postcode Just Eat does not know, or one with nothing delivering, returns no rows and is named in the run log.
