Mobile-Only Restaurant Intelligence
How We Built a Real-Time Data Pipeline from Hidden App Sources
Accessing Mobile-Only Data Sources
A restaurant intelligence firm needed real-time data from mobile app APIs that weren't accessible through traditional web scraping methods. Many restaurant platforms only expose certain data through their mobile applications, making it impossible to capture critical insights like real-time ratings, pricing changes, and menu updates through standard web scraping.
They needed a solution that could tap into mobile app APIs to extract real-time restaurant intelligence, including rating shifts, menu changes, and operational data that would help their clients make informed decisions.
App-First Intelligence Pipeline
We built a real-time data pipeline that tapped into mobile app APIs for restaurant intelligence. This app-first approach enabled us to capture data that wasn't available through web interfaces, providing accurate, real-time insights into restaurant operations, ratings, and pricing.
Data Captured:
- → Real-time restaurant ratings and review patterns
- → Menu item availability and pricing changes
- → Suspicious rating shift detection
- → True cost breakdowns for supplier negotiations
92%+ Precision & 22% Better Rates
The mobile app API pipeline enabled the intelligence firm to provide their clients with highly accurate, real-time restaurant intelligence. The 92%+ precision in detecting suspicious rating shifts helped clients identify fraudulent activity, while the true cost breakdowns enabled 22% better supplier rate negotiations.
Key Advantage:
By accessing mobile app APIs directly, we were able to capture data that wasn't available through web scraping, providing a competitive advantage in restaurant intelligence. The real-time nature of the data enabled clients to make faster, more informed decisions.
