🔎 Why scrape Just Eat UK?

Just Eat represents the largest network of independent takeaways, dark kitchens, and high-street restaurant chains across the United Kingdom. In any given UK postal code, hundreds to thousands of restaurants compete for consumer demand.

• ⏱️ Fulfillment Velocity (ETA Tracking): Monitor delivery estimate ranges (deliveryEtaRange, e.g., "20-35 mins") and collection readiness across meal times.
• 🏷️ Promotional Pricing & Deal Monitoring: Identify which restaurants are discounting (percentage-off, stamp cards, minimum spend vouchers) to stimulate order volume.
• 📍 Geomarketing & Expansion Strategy: Evaluate cuisine saturation and delivery coverage before launching a virtual brand or dark kitchen.
• 🎯 B2B Lead Generation: Build targeted contact directories of restaurant owners and takeaway operators by cuisine and city.
• ⭐ Reputation & Review Analytics: Compare customer sentiment, star ratings, and review velocity across major urban centers.

🔁 Scale & High-Throughput Processing

The actor is engineered for rapid, city-scale data extraction:

• Zero Page Throttles: Single postcode queries retrieve full partner inventories (up to 2,000+ businesses) in a single HTTP cycle.
• De-duplication Engine: In-memory Set ensures that overlapping delivery radii across adjacent postcodes never produce duplicate entries.
• Lightweight Execution: Pure HTTP architecture executes on minimal 512 MB instances in under 10 seconds.
• Automatic Fallback: If an Apify proxy IP experiences rate limiting, the actor falls back to direct connection automatically.

---

🛠️ Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Select Postal Areas: Choose your target UK postcodes or outcodes (e.g., EC4M7RF, SW1A, M1).
2. Apply Optional Filters: Filter by cuisine (e.g., Italian, Halal, Burgers) or restrict to currently open restaurants.
3. Execute Extraction: Click Start. The actor extracts all matching restaurants in parallel.
4. Download Results: Export datasets in JSON, CSV, or Excel formats, or connect directly via API.

Programmatic Python Execution

from apify_client import ApifyClient
import pandas as pd

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run_input = {
    "postcodes": ["M1", "M2", "M3"],
    "onlyOpenForDelivery": True,
    "maxItems": 200
}

run = client.actor("haketa/just-eat-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items

# Convert to Pandas DataFrame for restaurant market analysis
df = pd.DataFrame(items)
print(df[["name", "city", "deliveryCost", "minimumDeliveryValue", "rating"]].head())

Programmatic Node.js Execution

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('haketa/just-eat-scraper').call({
    postcodes: ['EC4M7RF'],
    cuisines: ['Pizza'],
    maxItems: 100
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Retrieved ${items.length} pizza restaurants in Central London.`);

Webhook & Automation Workflow

You can set up an Apify Webhook that triggers whenever a Just Eat scrape run succeeds:

• Slack Alert: Notify your analytics team when new regional takeaway promotions go live.
• Google Sheets Sync: Append new restaurants automatically via Make.com or Zapier.
• Pricing Alert: Track when rival aggregators adjust delivery fees in key postal territories.

Example Apify Webhook Configuration

When integrating with Zapier or Make.com, configure an HTTP POST Webhook on Apify Console triggered on ACTOR.RUN.SUCCEEDED:

{
  "eventType": "ACTOR.RUN.SUCCEEDED",
  "eventData": {
    "actorId": "haketa/just-eat-scraper",
    "actorRunId": "91aK0x9NmQ8Zb45",
    "defaultDatasetId": "cL90mX12Pq34Za6"
  }
}

📊 Supported Export Formats & Integrations

• JSON / JSONL: Optimized for developers, API ingestion, and vector embedding pipelines.
• CSV: Universal spreadsheet format compatible with Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice, and Airtable.
• XLSX: Native Microsoft Excel workbook format with column formatting.
• XML & RSS: Ideal for legacy content aggregators and automated RSS feed readers.
• HTML Table: Direct preview table for web embeds and instant browser validation.

💡 Best Practices & Pro Tips

• 🎯 Use Outcodes for Maximum Scale: Provide 2-4 character outcodes (e.g. M1, B1, SW1) rather than 7-character full postcodes to capture entire geographic boroughs.
• ⚡ Leverage Direct Connections: Just Eat UK's discovery API is open and public; running with useApifyProxy: false completes runs in 3–8 seconds at minimal compute cost.
• 📅 Schedule Multiple Daily Runs: Food delivery pricing and discounts fluctuate significantly between lunch (11:30–14:00) and dinner (17:30–21:30).
• 🔗 Track Promotions: Inspect the deals array to identify aggressive takeaway discount campaigns across your delivery area.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does the scraper require a Just Eat user account?
No. The scraper queries public area discovery endpoints and does not require account credentials or API authorization tokens.

How many restaurants can I extract in a single execution?
A single dense urban postcode (such as Central London) typically returns 1,500 to 2,000 active restaurants. You can extract thousands across multiple postcodes by setting maxItems to your target volume.

Can I filter by specific food categories?
Yes. Use the cuisines parameter to filter by any desired specialty, including Pizza, Chinese, Indian, Halal, Thai, Burgers, or Vegan.

Are delivery fees and minimum spends in British Pounds?
Yes. deliveryCost and minimumDeliveryValue are extracted as numerical GBP values, ready for immediate currency calculations.

What formats can I export the data to?
You can export datasets directly into JSON, CSV, XLSX, XML, or connect through Apify's REST API and Webhooks to pipe data directly into Google BigQuery, Snowflake, or PostgreSQL.

Can I run this actor on a recurring schedule?
Yes. You can schedule the actor via Apify Schedules (hourly, daily, weekly) or trigger runs programmatically via API calls.

Does this actor cover Just Eat in Ireland, Spain, or Germany?
This actor specifically queries Just Eat UK (just-eat.co.uk). Sister brands in other European markets (such as Lieferando in Germany, Thuisbezorgd in the Netherlands, or Just Eat Spain) utilize separate Takeaway.com infrastructure.

How does distance calculation work?
The driveDistanceMeters attribute reflects the estimated road driving distance between the searched postal centroid and the restaurant premises in meters.

Are duplicate restaurants filtered if postcodes overlap?
Yes. When querying adjacent postal codes (e.g., M1 and M2 in Manchester), many restaurants serve both delivery zones. The actor automatically deduplicates by unique restaurant id, outputting each business only once per run.
