## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

3. Set **Maximum number of results** to how many deals you want per URL or per query.
4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download your data in JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the **Output** tab.

### Input

- **Start URLs**: Great Deals UAE URLs to scrape.

```json
{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.greatdeals.ae/dhow-cruise-dubai.html" }],

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["dubai"],
  "category": "29",
  "sortBy": "priceAsc",

}
```

{
  "url": "https://www.greatdeals.ae/lotus-royale-yacht.html",
  "id": 4238,
  "sku": "20001124",

    "https://www.greatdeals.ae/pub/media/catalog/product/cache/3190874da09f9059a5640dce93659a51/l/o/lotus_royale_4.jpg"
  ],

```

Hotel and safari deals with selectable packages fill `packageOptions` instead, for example:

```json
{
  "group": "Select an Option",
  "name": "1 Night for 2Adults and 1Child with 1 Park tickets",
  "price": 1280,
  "priceAdjustment": 240,
  "required": true
}
```

You can download the dataset in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML, or access it through the Apify API.

### Notes

- All prices are in UAE dirhams (AED), the only currency on the website.
- Ticket option prices are the prices for the first bookable date; `priceMin` and `priceMax` show the range across all bookable dates. A ticket option price can be higher than the headline deal price, because the website often advertises the lowest price (for example the child price).
- `childPrice` is `null` when a ticket option has a single price for everyone.
- Rating and review count are `null` for deals that have no reviews yet, which is the case for most deals.
- The price range filter on the website does not change the results, so it has no effect in start URLs either.
- URLs from other websites and Great Deals UAE pages that are not categories, searches, or deals (such as the homepage or help pages) are skipped.
- The same deal found by several start URLs or queries is only returned once.

### Why use the Great Deals UAE Scraper?

- ✅ **No login needed**: works with public data only, so there is no account to manage.
- 🎟️ **Every price, not just the headline**: ticket options with adult and child prices and package options with their final prices.
- 🎯 **Keeps your filters**: paste any category or search URL from your browser and get exactly what you see there.
- 🧹 **Clean data**: prices and counts are real numbers, dates use one standard format, and text is free of HTML.
- 💸 **Pay for what you need**: set a result limit per URL or query and keep every run small and cheap.
- 🔄 **Ready for automation**: schedule runs, export to Google Sheets, or connect to Make, Zapier, and n8n.
