# Best Time to Book a Hotel in Tokyo, Daily Runs

**Use case:** 

The best time to book is a lead-time question, so it takes a schedule: this run prices two Tokyo hotels for thirty check-in dates starting a week out, two nights, in JPY on the Japanese market. Run it daily and compare the same check-in date across runs to see how the rate moves as the date approaches. Cost: 60 rate rows at $0.004 = at most $0.24 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/hotel-price-tracker.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`).
