How to scrape Talabat
Talabat (talabat.com) is a food delivery site. This guide is built from our own checks of its public pages: what the pages contain, whether our requests get through right now, and the request settings that worked.
13 of 20 of our checks passed in the last 7 days (65%).
Last check 2026-10-13 16:34 UTC · last pass 2026-10-13 16:34 UTC · checked with our own requests, never customer data.

Extraction recipe
The API returns the rendered HTML of the page. Select the fields you need with extract rules (CSS selectors) or parse the HTML on your side. The recipe below is a set of Scrape API extract rules: we ran it through our API on two real Talabat pages with the settings on this page and kept only the fields that came back on both. It is checked again every week, and hidden if it stops working.

Code
Complete scripts: set the UJEEBU_API_KEY environment variable and run them as they are. Each one sends the settings on this page and the extraction recipe, prints the extracted JSON, and prints the credits the request cost (the Ujb-Credits response header) on stderr. A non-200 answer stops the script with the API's error message.
Search and listing pages
Pages through 3 result pages, one at a time, and stops early when a page has no results.

SDK tabs use the official Ujeebu SDKs (ujeebu-python 0.1.5, @ujeebu-org/ujeebu-sdk 0.1.2, github.com/ujeebu/ujeebu-go v0.1.8); there is no PHP SDK, so the PHP tab calls the API with curl. For agents and scripts, the same status and settings are at /scrape/talabat.json.
Try it yourself
Run this on Talabat with your own key
Get a free API key, set UJEEBU_API_KEY and run any script above as it is. 5,000 free credits for 7 days, no card. These settings use proxy_country, which is available on paid plans.
URL patterns and pagination
What the URLs look like, read from the pages our checks fetched.
Search and listing pages
- Pattern
https://www.talabat.com/{slug}/restaurants- Next pages
- add
page=2,page=3and so on. Page 2:https://www.talabat.com/kuwait/restaurants?page=2 - Validated on
https://www.talabat.com/kuwait/restaurantshttps://www.talabat.com/uae/restaurants
Settings that work today
From our health checks over the last 7 days: the cheapest settings that return the real page most of the time.
| Endpoint | /scrape |
|---|---|
js | true |
proxy_type | premium |
proxy_country | AE (paid plans) |
| Cost | up to 25 credits a request (only HTTP 200 and 404 are billed) |
These settings use proxy_country. Proxy country (geo-targeting) is available on paid plans, so they need a paid plan: the free trial does not include it.
Collect detail page URLs from listing pages first, then fetch each detail page. Our checks run with JavaScript rendering on (js=true): keep it on. Start with the premium proxy, the cheapest one that passed most of its attempts in our checks.
| Proxy | Attempts | Passed |
|---|---|---|
| Premium | 17 | 11 |
The cheapest proxy that passes most of our checks of this site.
Troubleshooting
The failures our own checks of talabat.com ran into over the last 7 days, and what got the page in the same check.
| What happened | Times | What fixed it |
|---|---|---|
| The page did not load in time | 7 | Nothing we tried in the same check. Retry later, one request at a time. |
A failed request is not billed: only HTTP 200 and 404 responses cost credits.
What people build with Talabat data
- Restaurant market researchMap the restaurants of an area with their cuisine, rating and delivery terms.More on this use case
Limits and etiquette
- Public pages only. Pages behind a login, and data shown only to signed-in users, are out of scope.
- Keep the rate modest: fetch pages one after another or with low concurrency, and cache what you already have.
- robots.txt of www.talabat.com (read 2026-10-13): public pages allowed for generic crawlers; no crawl delay set.
- Read Talabat's terms of service before you collect data at scale, and do not collect personal data you have no basis to process. This guide is not legal advice.
Questions
Can you scrape Talabat with Ujeebu?
Partly. 13 of 20 checks of public Talabat pages passed in the last 7 days; most failures were the page did not load in time. Retry failed pages later, and use the settings on this page.
Which settings work for Talabat?
Call /scrape with js=true, proxy_type=premium, proxy_country=AE. On the premium proxy, 11 of 17 attempts passed in the last 7 days.
How many credits does a Talabat request cost?
With these settings a request costs up to 25 credits. Only responses with HTTP 200 or 404 are billed: a blocked or timed-out request is free.
Which fields can I extract from Talabat?
With the extraction recipes on this page, validated on real Talabat pages through our API: search and listing pages: name, cuisine, url, image. Pass the recipe as extract_rules in a POST to /scrape and the API returns those fields as JSON.
Is it allowed to scrape Talabat?
Its robots.txt allows generic crawlers on the page types in this guide. Collect public pages only, read Talabat's terms of service, keep your request rate modest and do not collect personal data you have no basis to process. This is not legal advice.
How fresh is this page?
The status and settings come from our own health checks of talabat.com, which run around the clock. Last check: 2026-10-13 16:34:26 UTC; last pass: 2026-10-13 16:34:26 UTC.
