# OTA Rate Comparison: Booking vs Expedia

**Use case:** 

Every bookable source for each hotel on one night as flat rows: Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Hotels.com and the hotel's own site with the rate each is showing. Filter on the source column to answer who is cheapest and by how much, with no SERP API and no per-search fee. Cost: 15 hotel rows at $0.004 plus 120 offer rows at $0.002 = at most $0.30 a run.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Google Hotels Prices Scraper — Price Tracking & Rate Parity](https://apify.com/kestrel/google-hotels-prices.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/kestrel/google-hotels-prices.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


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

- **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).
