Extract restaurant listings, full menus with prices, ratings, and delivery info from GrabFood across 7 Asian countries — Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Cambodia, and Myanmar.

Features

• Restaurant data — name, cuisine tags, ratings, vote count, delivery fee, ETA, distance, address, coordinates, promo offers, halal status
• Full menu extraction — item names, descriptions, prices (VND/local), categories, photos, availability, modifier groups (toppings, sizes)
• 7 countries supported — Vietnam (34 provinces), Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar with city presets
• Hex grid search — comprehensive city coverage using hexagonal grid pattern with automatic deduplication
• Keyword & cuisine filters — search by keyword ("pho", "pizza") or filter by cuisine type
• Fast API-first approach — captures auth token via Playwright, then bulk-fetches data via httpx (no browser scraping)
• Rate limiting — configurable requests per second to avoid API throttling

Supported Countries & Cities

Use custom city with custom_latlng for any location not listed above.

How to Use

1. Select country and city — choose from presets or enter custom coordinates
2. Set filters — optional keyword search, cuisine filter, max restaurants
3. Enable grid search (optional) — for comprehensive area coverage
4. Configure menu — enable/disable full menu extraction
5. Run — the Actor captures an auth token, searches the GrabFood API, and pushes results to the dataset

Input Example

{
"country":"VN",
"city":"ho_chi_minh",
"search_keyword":"",
"max_restaurants":50,
"include_menu":true,
"use_grid":false,
"requests_per_second":2,
"proxy_type":"none"
}

Grid Search

For comprehensive city coverage, enable grid search. This generates a hexagonal pattern of search points:

{
"country":"VN",
"city":"da_nang",
"use_grid":true,
"grid_radius_km":8,
"grid_step_km":3,
"max_restaurants":500,
"include_menu":true
}

Grid search automatically deduplicates restaurants found from multiple points.

Output Fields

Cost Estimate

Costs depend on Apify platform pricing. Run a small test first and check compute units consumed.

Proxy

• Vietnam — usually works without proxy (none)
• Other countries — may require residential proxy if running from outside the target country
• Custom proxy — provide your own proxy URLs in the proxy_urls field

Use Cases

• Market research — analyze restaurant density, cuisine trends, pricing by area
• Competitor monitoring — track menu changes, pricing, ratings over time
• Food delivery analytics — delivery fees, ETAs, minimum orders across cities
• Location intelligence — map restaurant distribution with GPS coordinates

FAQ

Q: Why is Thailand not supported? A: GrabFood Thailand uses a different authentication flow that returns FW_ENDPOINT_FORBIDDEN. Other 7 countries use the same guest API.

Q: I'm getting 0 results for a non-VN country. A: Try enabling residential proxy. GrabFood may geo-restrict API access based on your IP location.

Q: How does grid search work? A: It generates hexagonal grid points covering the city area. Each point triggers a search API call. Results are deduplicated by restaurant ID, so you get comprehensive coverage without duplicates.

Q: Can I scrape without menu data? A: Yes — set include_menu to false. This skips the per-restaurant detail API call and is significantly faster.

Q: What's the rate limit? A: Default is 2 requests/second. Lower it if you see errors; raise it (up to 10) for faster runs at your own risk.
