## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

# README

## Jalan JP Hotel Listings

Scrapes public jalan.net area search-results pages for Japan hotel/ryokan listings: hotel name, area, access, lowest price, rating, review count, plan, detail URL. No login, pay per hotel ($0.001, failed rows free).

### What it does

1. Paginates the given `searchUrl` (up to `maxItems` total items or a page cap), guarded by an SSRF check (rejects localhost / private / link-local IPs before any request is made).
2. Parses each page's response into result items (see `.actor/dataset_schema.json` for fields) via `src/parse.js`.
3. Charges the `hotel` pay-per-event for every successfully parsed item (failed/error items are never charged).
4. Stops early and records `stopped_reason` in `OUTPUT` if the caller's charge limit is reached, instead of erroring out.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `searchUrl` | string | site-specific prefill | Full search-results page URL to paginate from |
| `maxItems` | integer | 50 | Upper bound on items returned |
| `includeRawHtml` | boolean | false | Store the raw fetched payload per item |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | `{ "useApifyProxy": false }` | Off by default; enable per-Actor if the source blocks direct requests |

### Output

**Dataset** — one row per item (see `.actor/dataset_schema.json`). Failed items get `status: "error"` with an `error_code` and are not charged.

**Key-value store `OUTPUT`** — run summary: `{ items_charged, items_failed, stopped_reason, pages_fetched, http_status_counts, per_target }`.

### Pricing

Pay-per-event: `hotel` at $0.001 / event. Minimum spend to run: $0.05.

### Limitations

- Only public, non-authenticated sources are fetched. No login, no CAPTCHA solving, no residential-proxy bypass by default.
- This is an unofficial, independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the source site's operator.

***

Generated from `apify_factory/templates/crawlee-js/` (`apify_factory/scripts/generate_actor.py`, input\_shape=search\_url). Site-specific parsing lives in `src/parse.js` only; `src/main.js` and `src/paginated_runner.js` are shared factory plumbing.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchUrl` (type: `string`):

Full search-results page URL to paginate from (page 1). Must be a URL on the source site's own domain.

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

Upper bound on total items returned.

## `includeRawHtml` (type: `boolean`):

Store the raw fetched payload alongside the parsed item (increases dataset size; off by default).

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

Apify Proxy configuration. Off by default for factory V0 Actors (cost control); flip on per-Actor if the source blocks direct requests.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchUrl": "https://www.jalan.net/130000/LRG_136200/",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "includeRawHtml": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

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

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchUrl": "https://www.jalan.net/130000/LRG_136200/"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("finespun_acorn/jalan-jp-hotel-listings").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "searchUrl": "https://www.jalan.net/130000/LRG_136200/" }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("finespun_acorn/jalan-jp-hotel-listings").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchUrl": "https://www.jalan.net/130000/LRG_136200/"
}' |
apify call finespun_acorn/jalan-jp-hotel-listings --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,finespun_acorn/jalan-jp-hotel-listings"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
