Scraping iFood and Pedidos Já

iFood

The iFood's search queries are made with ajax under the hood sending a POST request to this variable - _ctx+URL_SEARCH+URL_SEARCH_RESTAURANT_AND_DISH (the variable output is /search/restaurantdish).

$.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  data: {
    queryString: $("#searchField").val()
  },
  url: _ctx + URL_SEARCH + URL_SEARCH_RESTAURANT_AND_DISH,
  beforeSend: appendThrobber(a),
  cache: !1
})
.done(...)
.fail(...)

iFood search scripts:: functions-restaurants-search.js functions-restaurants-filter.js

Pedidos Já

Pedidos Já works fine, we can collect their data easily. The issue is: They don't have a price range or something like that, however Pedidos Já has the menu of restaurants with price of each thing.
