## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Noon Food Scraper

> **Thirdwatch portfolio:** 8,800+ users across 140+ public Actors, 2M+ records delivered, >95% run success. [Explore all Thirdwatch Actors](https://apify.com/thirdwatch).

> Scrape restaurants and menus from Noon's public UAE food-delivery storefront.

### What you get

Extract restaurant listings from Noon Food zones: names, ratings, delivery times, delivery fees, images, and outlet URLs. Optionally pull the full menu for each restaurant — items, prices, and categories. The actor reads Noon's public UAE catalog and guest-menu listings, with an automatic fallback to Noon's storefront pages if the catalog feed is temporarily unavailable.

### Output fields (restaurants)

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `name` | Restaurant name |
| `rating` | Customer rating |
| `delivery_time` | Estimated delivery time (e.g., "25-35 min") |
| `delivery_fee` | Delivery fee with currency (e.g., "AED 5.00") |
| `image_url` | Restaurant image URL |
| `url` | Direct outlet URL on food.noon.com |
| `zone` | Zone/area name |
| `country` | Country code (`uae-en`) |
| `menu_items` | Array of menu items (when `scrapeMenu` is enabled) |
| `scraped_at` | Timestamp |

### Output fields (menu items, when enabled)

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `name` | Menu item name |
| `price` | Item price (numeric) |
| `currency` | Currency (AED or SAR) |
| `category` | Menu category (e.g., "Meals", "Desserts") |

### Example output

```json
{
    "name": "McDonald's",
    "rating": 4.5,
    "delivery_time": "25-35 min",
    "delivery_fee": "AED 5.00",
    "image_url": "https://f.nooncdn.com/...",
    "url": "https://food.noon.com/uae-en/outlet/abc123/",
    "zone": "Downtown",
    "country": "uae-en",
    "menu_items": [
        {
            "name": "Big Mac Meal",
            "price": 32.0,
            "currency": "AED",
            "category": "Meals"
        }
    ],
    "scraped_at": "2026-04-11T10:30:00+00:00"
}
```

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------|
| `zones` | No | Zone/area names to scrape (e.g., `["Downtown", "Dubai Marina"]`). Use `["auto"]` to iterate all available zones. |
| `country` | No | `uae-en`. Default `uae-en`. |
| `maxResults` | No | Maximum total restaurants across all zones. Default `10`. Set `0` for unlimited. |
| `scrapeMenu` | No | Visit each restaurant's outlet page for full menu items with prices. Default `false`. |

### Available zones

- **UAE (Dubai)**: Downtown, Dubai Marina, JBR, Business Bay, DIFC, Al Barsha, Jumeirah, Deira, Bur Dubai.
- **UAE (Abu Dhabi)**: Al Reem, Yas Island, Khalifa City.

Zone names must match the URL format used by food.noon.com. Use `["auto"]` if you want the actor to discover them.

### Use cases

- **Food-delivery analysts**: Track competition between Noon Food, Talabat, and Deliveroo in GCC markets.
- **Restaurant chains**: Monitor your own ratings and delivery fees vs. neighboring competitors.
- **Market researchers**: Build MENA food-delivery datasets zone by zone.
- **Cloud-kitchen operators**: Identify which zones have the thinnest cuisine coverage — and your best shot at a new brand.

### Limitations

- Zone names must match Noon Food's URL format exactly (the scraper prints available zones on mismatch).
- Menu availability changes with time of day and restaurant open hours.
- The public Noon Food web storefront currently exposes UAE restaurant data only. Saudi food ordering is app-only and is not scraped by this actor.
- When Noon's canonical catalog is unavailable, the storefront fallback may take longer to complete a run.
- No review text — only the aggregate rating.

### Compared to alternatives

- **vs. Noon Food Partner API**: Not publicly available — restricted to registered restaurant partners and only exposes their own catalog. This actor is the public-data alternative.
- **vs. other Noon Food scrapers**: No direct Apify Store competitor at this time — this is the only Noon Food scraper on the platform.

Pairs well with [Talabat Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/talabat-scraper?fpr=9m2cd6) and [Deliveroo Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/deliveroo-scraper?fpr=9m2cd6) for full Middle East food-delivery coverage.

### FAQ

**Which country can this actor scrape?**
The UAE. Noon offers food ordering in Saudi Arabia through its app, but its public food.noon.com storefront currently redirects Saudi locale requests to the UAE catalog.

**Do I need a Noon account?**
No. Only publicly visible restaurant listings and outlet menus are scraped.

**Can I scrape all zones at once?**
Yes — pass `["auto"]` in `zones` to iterate every zone the site exposes for your selected country.

**How does `maxResults` interact with multiple zones?**
It caps total restaurants across all zones, not per-zone. Set to `0` for unlimited.

# Actor input Schema

## `zones` (type: `array`):

Zone/area names to scrape (e.g., 'Downtown', 'Dubai Marina', 'Al Reem'). Use 'auto' to scrape all available zones. Check the run log for available zone names if a zone isn't found.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Which country to scrape restaurants from.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum total number of restaurants to extract across all zones. Menu scraping is capped lower to keep runs affordable.

## `scrapeMenu` (type: `boolean`):

Visit each restaurant's outlet page to extract full menu with item names, prices, and categories. Slower but provides complete data; menu runs are capped to 25 restaurants.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "zones": [
    "auto"
  ],
  "country": "uae-en",
  "maxResults": 10,
  "scrapeMenu": false
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
