## 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

## Turkey & Greek Islands Ferry Schedules & Prices ⛴️

Get **ferry sailings for Turkey and Turkey–Greece island routes** — operator, date, departure time and ticket prices in TRY — as clean JSON.

Covers domestic Sea of Marmara lines (IDO, BUDO: Yenikapı–Mudanya, Yenikapı–Bandırma, Pendik–Yalova, Istanbul–Bursa and more) and international Aegean crossings (Bodrum–Kos, Çeşme–Chios, Kaş–Rhodes, Ayvalık–Lesbos, Taşucu–Girne and others).

There is almost no structured, machine-readable data about these routes anywhere. This actor fills that gap.

### What you get (per sailing)

```json
{
  "from": "yenikapi",
  "to": "mudanya",
  "operator": "IDO",
  "date": "2026-08-13",
  "departTime": "10:30",
  "price": 765.0,
  "currency": "TRY",
  "fromStop": "İstanbul Avrupa Yenikapı",
  "toStop": "Mudanya Mudanya",
  "sourceUrl": "https://...",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-13T21:04:11.000Z"
}
```

### Use cases

- **Travel apps & trip planners** — add Turkish/Greek-island ferry legs to itineraries
- **Price & schedule monitoring** — run daily, diff the dataset
- **Tourism market research** — seasonal capacity and pricing by corridor
- **AI agents** — feed live ferry data to LLM travel tools

### Input

Provide `routes` as port pairs (lowercase, e.g. `yenikapi`, `mudanya`, `bandirma`, `pendik`, `yalova`, `bodrum`, `kos`, `cesme`, `kas`). Multi-word ports are fine ("istanbul avrupa"). You can also paste exact schedule-page URLs into `startUrls`.

Note: Aegean island routes are seasonal — expect fewer or zero sailings off-season.

### Pricing

Pay per event: you are charged only for each sailing returned — no subscriptions, no minimums.

### Notes

- Public, server-rendered schedule pages only; no logins, no personal data.
- Prices and schedules change constantly; treat results as a snapshot at `scrapedAt`.
- Issues or a route that returns 0 results? Open an issue — response < 24h.

# Actor input Schema

## `routes` (type: `array`):

Port pairs to search. Use lowercase port names as used on the source site, e.g. yenikapi, mudanya, bandirma, pendik, yalova, bodrum, kos, cesme, kas. Multi-word ports use spaces (converted automatically), e.g. 'istanbul avrupa'.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Full ferry schedule-page URLs to scrape directly (in addition to routes).

## `maxTripsPerRoute` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of sailings to return per route page.

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

Proxy settings. Apify Proxy (automatic) is recommended.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "routes": [
    {
      "from": "yenikapi",
      "to": "mudanya"
    },
    {
      "from": "yenikapi",
      "to": "bandirma"
    },
    {
      "from": "pendik",
      "to": "yalova"
    }
  ],
  "startUrls": [],
  "maxTripsPerRoute": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }

# 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 = {
    "routes": [
        {
            "from": "yenikapi",
            "to": "mudanya"
        },
        {

            "from": "pendik",
            "to": "yalova"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("gmpsignal/turkey-greek-islands-ferry-schedules").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();

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,gmpsignal/turkey-greek-islands-ferry-schedules"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
