FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What food data can you scrape across the UAE?
We scrape restaurant listings, full menu items, prices in AED, halal certification status, nutritional information, ingredients, allergen data, delivery platform listings (Talabat, Careem, Deliveroo UAE, Noon Food), customer ratings, operating hours, and geo-coordinates across all 7 UAE emirates and 500+ districts. Grocery product data from Carrefour UAE, Lulu, Spinneys, and Waitrose is available on Growth and Enterprise plans.
Does your UAE food data include halal certification?
Yes. Halal certification is a first-class field in our UAE schema. We capture the certification status (true/false), the certifying authority (Dubai Municipality, ESMA, ADAFSA, Sharjah Municipality), and the certificate expiry date. Growth and Enterprise plans include monitoring alerts when certificates are approaching expiry or when uncertified restaurants claim halal status.
Do you cover Talabat and Careem data in the UAE?
Yes. We scrape live menu data, prices, delivery fees, ETA estimates, and restaurant availability from Talabat, Careem Food, Deliveroo UAE, Noon Food, and Instashop across all UAE emirates. Platform-specific pricing in AED is a standard field and is updated near-real-time on Growth and Enterprise plans.
Are menu items and restaurant names available in Arabic?
Yes. All records include both English and Arabic name fields (name_en, name_ar, menu_item_name_ar) where the source provides them. Our pipeline handles Arabic script normalization, right-to-left text formatting, and dialect variations across UAE, Levantine, and Gulf Arabic. This is essential for Arabic-first UAE apps and AI models trained on GCC data.
Can I scrape data for a specific emirate or district only?
Absolutely. Geographic filtering is a first-class feature. You can scope data collection to a specific emirate (e.g., Dubai only), city district (DIFC, Downtown, JBR, Yas Island), or a custom geo-radius around any UAE coordinate. This lets you run hyperlocal food intelligence without processing the full UAE dataset.
How does the data change during Ramadan?
Ramadan significantly changes the UAE food landscape — iftar and suhoor menus, adjusted operating hours, delivery demand spikes, and Ramadan-specific pricing. Our scraping infrastructure captures Ramadan special menus as distinct fields, tracks time-limited promotional pricing, and logs operating hours changes during the holy month across all 7 emirates.
Do prices include UAE VAT (5%)?
Yes. Our UAE schema includes a vat_status field specifying whether listed AED prices are VAT-inclusive or exclusive, along with the applicable VAT rate. This is critical for financial applications, e-commerce platforms, and compliance tools that need to distinguish net vs. gross pricing across UAE restaurants and grocery products.
Is UAE food data scraping legally compliant?
Our data collection is based on publicly available information from open web sources, in compliance with UAE law and each platform's publicly accessible pages. We do not bypass authentication or access restricted systems. We can share our compliance documentation on request. We recommend consulting your legal counsel for your specific business use case in the UAE jurisdiction.
