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 ## Talabat Scraper - Middle East Restaurant Data > Scrape restaurant data from Talabat.com -- the largest food delivery platform in the Middle East, covering 9 countries. ### What you get Talabat operates in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, and Iraq, serving millions of users daily.

Try it free -- click **Start** in the Input tab. ### Why scrape Talabat? Talabat is the dominant food delivery app across the MENA region. Whether you're analyzing restaurant markets, tracking competitors, or building a food industry dataset, Talabat is the definitive source for Middle Eastern food delivery data. **Use cases:** - Market research on restaurant density and cuisine distribution across MENA - Competitive intelligence for restaurant chains (ratings, popular items, payment options) - Location analytics using GPS coordinates - Food industry trend analysis by country and cuisine ### Output fields | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `name` | Restaurant name | | `slug` | URL slug identifier | | `cuisine` | Cuisine types (e.g., "Pizza, Italian, Fast Food") | | `rating` | Average customer rating | | `total_ratings` | Total number of ratings | | `logo` | Restaurant logo image URL | | `latitude` | GPS latitude coordinate | | `longitude` | GPS longitude coordinate | | `accepts_cash` | Whether cash payment is accepted | | `accepts_card` | Whether card payment is accepted | | `most_selling_items` | List of popular menu item names | | `country` | Country code | | `url` | Full Talabat URL for the restaurant | | `scraped_at` | Timestamp of when data was scraped | ### Example output ```json { "name": "Pizza Hut", "slug": "pizza-hut", "cuisine": "Pizza, Italian, Fast Food", "rating": 4.2, "total_ratings": 15420, "logo": "https://images.deliveryhero.io/image/talabat/restaurants/pizza-hut-logo.jpg", "latitude": 25.2048, "longitude": 55.2708, "accepts_cash": true, "accepts_card": true, "most_selling_items": ["Pepperoni Pizza", "Margherita", "Chicken Supreme"], "country": "uae", "url": "https://www.talabat.com/uae/pizza-hut", "scraped_at": "2026-04-11T12:00:00.000000+00:00" } ```` ### Input parameters | Parameter | Required | Description | |-----------|----------|-------------| | `queries` | Yes | Search terms (e.g., "pizza", "mcdonalds") or restaurant names | | `country` | No | Country: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq (default: UAE) | | `maxResults` | No | Max restaurants per query (default: 100) | | `scrapeMenu` | No | Also extract full menu items with prices for each restaurant (default: off) | ### Supported countries | Code | Country | |------|---------| | `uae` | United Arab Emirates | | `sa` | Saudi Arabia | | `kw` | Kuwait | | `bh` | Bahrain | | `om` | Oman | | `qa` | Qatar | | `jo` | Jordan | | `eg` | Egypt | | `iq` | Iraq | ### Tips - **Search by cuisine** -- "pizza", "burger", "sushi" returns all matching restaurants - **Search by brand** -- "mcdonalds", "kfc" finds specific chains - **Try multiple countries** -- run separate queries for UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc. - **Use the Apify scheduler** to run weekly and track new restaurants ### Limitations - Only publicly visible restaurant data is scraped - Menu item availability varies by restaurant and time of day - Some restaurants may have limited rating data ### Related Actors - [Deliveroo Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/deliveroo-scraper) -- UK, UAE, and Europe restaurant and menu data - [Noon Food Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/noon-food-scraper) -- UAE and Saudi Arabia restaurants from Noon Food # Actor input Schema ## `queries` (type: `array`): Search terms to find restaurants (e.g., 'pizza', 'mcdonalds', 'sushi'). Each query returns up to maxResults restaurants. ## `country` (type: `string`): Country code for Talabat. Supported: uae, sa, kw, bh, om, qa, jo, eg, iq. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of restaurants to return per query. ## `scrapeMenu` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, fetches the full menu (items with prices, descriptions, images) for each restaurant. Adds a 'menu\_items' array and delivery metadata to each result. ## Actor input object example ```json { "queries": [ "pizza" ], "country": "uae", "maxResults": 100, "scrapeMenu": false } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "queries": [ "pizza" ], "country": "uae", "maxResults": 100 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("thirdwatch/talabat-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
