## 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`).

### Important: Default Dates for Pricing

Booking.com requires check-in and check-out dates to return pricing information. If you don't provide dates, the actor will automatically use default dates (check-in 7 days from now, 2-night stay) to ensure you always get pricing data. You can override these by providing your own `checkinDate` and `checkoutDate` parameters.

### Usage Tips

1. **Pricing** - Provide check-in and check-out dates to get accurate pricing for your specific dates
2. **Default dates** - If no dates provided, the actor uses dates 7 days from now (2-night stay) to ensure pricing is returned
3. **Large searches** - For cities with many properties, increase `maxResults` to get more data
4. **Different currencies** - Use the `currency` parameter to get prices in your preferred currency
5. **Localization** - Change `language` to get property descriptions in different languages
6. **Guest count** - Set `adults` and `rooms` to match your actual search criteria

### Rate Limits

Free users are limited to 100 results per run. Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited results.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,agenscrape/booking-com-stays-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
