# Hotel Price Comparison: Agoda vs Google Hotels

**Use case:** 

Four Lisbon hotels by name, priced for the same night in EUR. Run the same stay through the Google Hotels Prices Scraper or the Hotel Rate Parity Checker and join on hotel_name to see where Agoda undercuts the other channels or the hotel's own site. Names go through Agoda's autocomplete; the best match is priced. Cost: 4 hotel rows at $0.004 = at most $0.02 a run.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/kestrel/agoda-prices-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
