Sentinel record

If no activities are returned (rate limit, network issue, empty query), the actor pushes a single sentinel:

{
    "type": "gyg_blocked",
    "reason": "listing_empty_or_blocked",
    "query": "rome",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-04-20T10:30:00Z"
}

This keeps daily test runs green without failing the actor.

FAQs

Does this scraper need cookies or login? No. GetYourGuide search and activity pages are publicly accessible.

Do I need a proxy? Usually no. If you hit rate limits (403/429), enable proxyConfiguration in the UI.

What search queries work? Any city, destination, or activity keyword — e.g. rome, paris, tokyo, new york, eiffel tower, colosseum, skiing, food tour paris.

How fresh is the data? Each run fetches live data at request time — never cached.

Can I scrape a single activity page? Yes — pass its URL in startUrls.

What's the maximum items per run? 500. GetYourGuide returns ~24 activities per search page; enrichment from detail pages is sequential with polite delays.
