## 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/docs.md):

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

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

## Priceline Travel MCP Server

Give your AI assistant **live access to Priceline** hotels and flights. This actor
runs as a **Model Context Protocol (MCP) server** — connect Claude, ChatGPT,
Cursor or any MCP-capable agent and it can search hotels, pull hotel details and
reviews, and get flexible-date flight fares on demand. It also works as a classic
one-shot Priceline hotel scraper.

### Who it's for

- **AI-assistant users** — ask "find 4-star hotels in Miami under $200 for next
  weekend" and get live answers inside your chat.
- **Agent & app builders** — add real Priceline travel data to an LLM app without
  writing or maintaining a scraper.
- **Analysts** — pull hotels or fares interactively while researching a market.

### MCP tools

| Tool                       | What it does                                                      |
| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `autocomplete_destination` | Resolve a place name to Priceline destinations + geo ids          |
| `search_hotels`            | Search hotels by destination + dates (prices, ratings, amenities) |
| `get_hotel_details`        | Rooms, rates and highlights for one hotel                         |
| `get_hotel_reviews`        | Guest reviews for a hotel                                         |
| `flight_fare_matrix`       | Flexible-date flight fare matrix (cheapest per date)              |

### Connect it (Standby mode)

1. Start the actor in **Standby** mode on Apify.
2. Point your MCP client at `<ACTOR_STANDBY_URL>/mcp` (Streamable HTTP transport).
3. The tools above appear automatically in your assistant.

Example (Claude Desktop / Cursor MCP config):

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "priceline": {
            "url": "https://<your-actor-standby-url>/mcp"
        }
    }
}
````

### Classic scraper mode

Prefer a dataset? Run it normally with input like:

```json
{
    "destination": "New York",
    "checkIn": "2026-09-01",
    "checkOut": "2026-09-03",
    "sort": "PRICE",
    "limit": 50
}
```

It pushes one row per hotel (name, star level, price, rating, amenities, geo) to
the dataset — the same fields as the Priceline Hotel Scraper.

### Example tool result

```json
{
    "destination": "Miami",
    "count": 2,
    "hotels": [
        {
            "hotel_id": "3356003",
            "name": "Super 8 by Wyndham Florida City",
            "star_level": "2.5-Star Hotel",
            "price_amount": "44.25",
            "price_currency": "USD",
            "review_count_label": "1,002 Reviews"
        }
    ]
}
```

### FAQ

**Which assistants work?** Any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or
your own agent using the MCP SDK.

**How fresh is the data?** Live — every tool call queries Priceline in real time.

**Do I need an API key from Priceline?** No. The actor handles access for you.

**Can I still get a dataset?** Yes — run it in normal mode with a `destination`.

**Is this legal?** The actor accesses publicly available travel data. You are
responsible for using it in line with applicable laws and Priceline's terms.

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

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("axlymxp/priceline-travel-mcp-server").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();
