## 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

## 🏔️ AllTrails Scraper — Trail Data Extractor

**Pull AllTrails hiking-trail data in seconds.** Photos, ratings, reviews, difficulty, elevation, route type, coordinates — for any national park, US state, city, or custom coordinates. **No login required.** ⛰️

📊 20+ fields per trail · 🌍 any location worldwide · 🚫 no auth · ⚡ live data every run

---

### 🚀 Quick start

Just give it a **location** — that's the only required input:

```json
{ "location": "Yosemite National Park", "maxItems": 50 }
````

Run it and get clean, structured trail records as **JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or JSONL**.

***

### ⚙️ Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| **`location`** | string | ✅ **yes** | A park, region, US state, city, or coordinates — `"Yosemite National Park"`, `"Colorado"`, `"Denver, CO"`, or `"37.7261, -119.5587"`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | no | How many trails to return (default 10). |
| `includeDetails` | boolean | no | Also fetch each trail's detail page for parking, full photo gallery, and highlights (slower, richer). Default off. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | no | Proxy — residential recommended (AllTrails is behind DataDome). |

**Examples**

```json
{ "location": "Zion National Park", "maxItems": 100, "includeDetails": true }
```

```json
{ "location": "39.7392, -104.9903", "maxItems": 25 }

# Actor input Schema

## `location` (type: `string`):

REQUIRED. A national park, region, US state, city, or coordinates — e.g. "Yosemite National Park", "Colorado", "Denver, CO", or "37.7261, -119.5587". Trails are pulled from around this location.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

How many trails to return. Free preview is limited to 10.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Also fetch each trail's detail page for parking info, full photo gallery, and highlights. Slower but richer. Off = fast search-feed fields only.

## `detailStreams` (type: `integer`):

Parallel detail fetches when "Fetch full details" is on. Higher = faster.

## `session` (type: `string`):

Paste your AllTrails session here as a JSON object of headers (app key + DataDome cookie). This is the easiest way to authenticate — no env var needed. Stored encrypted.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy for requests. Residential recommended — AllTrails is behind DataDome anti-bot.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "location": "Yosemite National Park",
  "maxItems": 10,
  "includeDetails": false,
  "detailStreams": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
```

});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "location": "Yosemite National Park",

    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("arpitgandhi1934/alltrails-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);
