## 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.md):

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

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

## BookRetreats LATAM Yoga & Meditation Retreat Scraper

Scrape yoga, meditation, and ayahuasca retreat listings from **BookRetreats.com** for Latin American countries. Returns structured data for each retreat: name, retreat center, location (country/region/city), price, rating, room options, and full description.

### What you get

Each scraped record contains:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `retreat_id` | Unique slug identifier extracted from the retreat URL |
| `title` | Full retreat title (e.g. "7 Day Yoga Retreat in Tulum, Mexico") |
| `retreat_center` | Name of the retreat center or organizer |
| `retreat_center_url` | Link to the retreat center's BookRetreats profile |
| `country` | Country where the retreat is held |
| `region` | Region or state within the country |
| `city` | City or locality |
| `styles` | Retreat style tags as a JSON array (e.g. `["Yoga"]`) |
| `nights` | Duration in nights (derived from title day count) |
| `price_from_usd` | Minimum offer price (currency reflects server locale; USD on US IPs) |
| `room_options` | Available room/accommodation option names as a JSON array |
| `rating` | Aggregate review rating (0–5 scale) |
| `reviews_count` | Total number of reviews |
| `description` | Full retreat description text |
| `listing_image_url` | Primary retreat photo URL |
| `listing_url` | Direct URL to the retreat page on BookRetreats.com |
| `scraped_at` | ISO timestamp of when the record was scraped |

### Supported countries

Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Colombia, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Argentina, Chile.

### Supported retreat styles

- `yoga-retreats` — Yoga retreats
- `meditation-retreats` — Meditation retreats
- `ayahuasca-retreats` — Ayahuasca retreats

Additional styles accepted: `wellness-retreats`, `ttc` (teacher training), `other-retreats`.

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `maxItems` | integer | 10 | Maximum number of retreat records to return |
| `styles` | array | all 3 styles | Retreat style slugs to scrape |
| `countries` | array | all 10 countries | LATAM country slugs to filter by |

**Example input** (scrape top 50 yoga retreats from Mexico and Peru):
```json
{
  "maxItems": 50,
  "styles": ["yoga-retreats"],
  "countries": ["mexico", "peru"]
}
````

### How it works

1. Generates listing URLs for each style × country combination (`/s/yoga-retreats?country=mexico`)
2. Paginates through listing pages collecting retreat detail URLs from JSON-LD metadata
3. Crawls each retreat detail page and extracts structured data from the `Product` JSON-LD block
4. Stops when `maxItems` records are collected or all pages are exhausted

### Notes on pricing

The `price_from_usd` field reflects the minimum available room price in the currency served by the site. On Apify's cloud infrastructure (US IPs), this is typically USD. The field name is a best-effort label — verify currency if precision is required.

### Use cases

- Research LATAM retreat markets and pricing
- Build retreat recommendation tools
- Track retreat availability and pricing trends
- Complement data from retreat.guru LATAM (different inventory — premium paid listings vs. free organic listings)
