They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Devil Scrapes mark ## Hipcamp Campsite Listings Scraper **💰 $1.25 / 1 000 results**  ·  pay only for results  ·  no credit card to try *We do the dirty work so your dataset stays clean.* 😈 Scrape Hipcamp's US regional discover pages into structured campsite rows — private land, public campgrounds, and public land — with price, rating, geo, and capacity fields per listing.
*** ### 🎯 What this scrapes Hipcamp is the largest US marketplace for private-land camping, public campgrounds, and public-land stays, and its scraper field is thin: the sole name-matched rival, `lexis-solutions/hipcamp-scraper`, runs with just 4 users. This Actor turns Hipcamp's regional discover pages into normalized rows — private land, public campgrounds, and public land in one shape — with USD nightly price, rating percentage, review count, capacity, geo-coordinates, and accommodation types per listing, so hosts running competitor/pricing intel and travel-data buyers don't have to hand-parse Hipcamp's own page markup. ### 🔥 What we handle for you - 🛡️ **Browser fingerprint rotation** — `curl-cffi` impersonates real Chrome / Firefox / Safari TLS handshakes, rotated across requests, so the target sees a browser, not Python. - 🌐 **Proxy session rotation** via Apify Proxy — fresh session and exit IP on every block, always pinned to the US (`US`) since Hipcamp inventory is US-only. - 🔁 **Retries with exponential backoff** on `408 / 429 / 5xx` — up to 5 attempts per region, `Retry-After` honoured. - 🧱 **Region-level fault isolation** — one blocked or unreadable region is skipped and logged, never crashes the run. - 🧊 **Clean, typed dataset rows** — Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, deduped by `listing_id`/`url` across all three listing types. - 💰 **Pay-Per-Event pricing** — you only pay for results that hit your dataset. No data, no charge. ### 💡 Use cases - **Outdoor-stay host competitor intel** — benchmark nightly pricing, ratings, and capacity against nearby private-land and campground listings in your region. - **Travel-data aggregation** — feed normalized US campsite inventory into a broader outdoor-travel dataset alongside other lodging sources. - **Campsite-availability data buyers** — pull current listing counts, accommodation types, and geo-coordinates per region for market-coverage analysis. - **Market-entry research** — compare private-land, public-campground, and public-land supply and pricing across multiple US states/cities in one run. ### ⚙️ How to use it 1.

No subscription, no minimum, no card to start — Apify gives every new account $5 of free credit. ### 🚧 Limitations v0.1 covers each region's discover-page snapshot only (~40-45 combined listings per region) — not a metro's full inventory, and not listing detail pages (amenities, galleries, host bios, review text, availability calendars). Booking/availability/reservation data and non-US regions are out of scope. ### ❓ FAQ **Do I need a Hipcamp account or API key?** No. This Actor scrapes Hipcamp's own publicly listed discover pages — no login, no API key. **Does this cover a region's full inventory?** No. Hipcamp's discover page is curated — roughly 40-45 combined listings per region, even when the site reports thousands of total listings. There's no pagination parameter on this page; broaden coverage with more regions (up to 10 per run), not paging. **What regions can I scrape?** Any US state, optionally narrowed to a city — pass free-text names like 'Texas' or 'Los Angeles' and the Actor slugifies them internally. Hipcamp inventory is US-only. **What happens if a region has no matches?** The run still succeeds with zero rows for that region and a status message naming what was searched — a real search that matched nothing is not a failure. ### 💬 Your feedback Spotted a bug, hit a weird edge case, or need a new field? Open an issue on the Actor's **Issues** tab on Apify Console — we ship fixes weekly and we read every report. ***

# Actor input Schema ## `regions` (type: `array`): US regions to scrape, 1-10 items. Each item: { state (required, e.g. 'Texas'), city (optional, e.g. 'Austin') }. Free-text US names — the Actor slugifies them internally. ## `maxListingsPerRegion` (type: `integer`): Caps rows per region. Leave unset for everything the discover page returns (roughly 40-45 combined listings). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Defaults to the RESIDENTIAL proxy group pinned to the US — Hipcamp inventory is US-only, so a random exit country risks locale/currency drift. ## Actor input object example ```json { "regions": [ { "state": "Texas", "city": "Austin" } ], "maxListingsPerRegion": 20, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `datasetItems` (type: `string`): All dataset items as JSON. ## `datasetItemsCsv` (type: `string`): Same data exported to CSV. ## `datasetView` (type: `string`): Open the run dataset in the Console. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "regions": [ { "state": "Texas", "city": "Austin" } ], "maxListingsPerRegion": 20, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("devilscrapes/hipcamp-campsite-listings-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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
