## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Airbnb Destinations Scraper

Scrape Airbnb listing results for a destination, including prices, ratings, amenities, images, and optional review snippets.

### What it does

- Searches Airbnb by destination name such as `Paris`, `Tokyo`, or `New York`
- Collects listing titles, prices, ratings, review counts, property details, and listing URLs
- Extracts human-readable amenities directly from Airbnb listing pages
- Optionally fetches review snippets for each listing
- Saves structured results to the default dataset for export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or API output

### Input

```json
{
  "placeName": "Paris",
  "maxItems": 25,
  "includeImages": true,
  "maxImagesPerListing": 5,
  "includeReviewTexts": true,
  "maxReviewTexts": 3,
  "currency": "USD",
  "checkIn": "30 days",
  "checkOut": "34 days",
  "proxyConfig": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
````

Input fields:

- `placeName`: Destination to search on Airbnb.
- `maxItems`: Maximum number of listings to save.
- `includeImages`: Include listing images in the output.
- `maxImagesPerListing`: Maximum number of image URLs to keep for each listing.
- `includeReviewTexts`: Fetch review snippets for each listing.
- `maxReviewTexts`: Maximum number of review snippets to save per listing.
- `currency`: Currency used for pricing requests.
- `checkIn`: Optional check-in date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format or a relative value like `30 days`.
- `checkOut`: Optional check-out date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format or a relative value like `34 days`.
- `proxyConfig`: Proxy settings. Use Apify Proxy on the platform for best reliability.

### Output

Each dataset item looks like:

```json
{
  "title": "The terraces of Monceau",
  "description": "Entire rental unit - 8th Arrondissement",
  "price": "$1,251",
  "rating": "4.98",
  "review_count": 56,
  "reviews": "56 reviews",
  "location": "Paris",
  "property_type": "Entire rental unit",
  "beds": "2 beds",
  "baths": "1.5 baths",
  "guests": 4,
  "amenities": [
    "Kitchen",
    "Wifi",
    "Air conditioning",
    "Smoke alarm",
    "Luggage drop-off allowed"
  ],
  "listing_url": "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1207192373682143660",
  "image_url": "https://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/example.jpeg?im_w=720",
  "image_urls": [
    "https://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/example.jpeg?im_w=720"
  ],
  "review_texts": [
    {
      "author": {
        "firstName": "Elizabeth",
        "id": "42823613",
        "pictureUrl": ""
      },
      "comments": "Such a wonderful Parisian experience...",
      "createdAt": "2025-04-20T11:58:31.000Z",
      "rating": 5,
      "language": "en"
    }
  ],
  "reviews_preview": "Such a wonderful Parisian experience...",
  "scraped_at": 1774668747
}
```

### Use cases

- Market research for short-term rental listings in a city
- Building destination comparison datasets
- Tracking listing prices and availability-related metadata over time
- Collecting amenity and review data for travel analytics workflows

### Tips

- Keep `maxItems` moderate when also fetching `review_texts`, because detailed enrichment adds extra requests.
- Provide `checkIn` and `checkOut` if you want price output tied to specific travel dates.
- Use Apify Proxy in cloud runs to reduce blocking risk.
- The actor prefers Airbnb API responses when available and falls back to browser-based scraping only when needed.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "placeName": "Paris",
    "currency": "USD",
    "checkIn": "30 days",
    "checkOut": "34 days",
    "proxyConfig": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("akash9078/airbnb-destinations-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
