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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Travel & Hotel Intelligence A unified Apify actor that scrapes hotel and short-let pricing across **Airbnb, Booking.com, Google Hotels, and Trivago**, returning every record in a single normalised schema. Designed for rate-shopping, price-comparison dashboards, and revenue-management feeds. ### What it replaces Five independent scrapers — one per platform — each with its own input shape, its own output columns, and its own retry quirks. This actor consolidates them behind: - a **single normalised record** (`HotelRecord`) so downstream tools don't need per-platform branches, - a **shared utility layer** for price parsing, date generation, deep-key lookups, retries, and stealth browser setup, - a **router** that picks the right scraper from URL host or an explicit `platform` field. ### Quick start #### Single job ```json { "platform": "airbnb", "searchUrl": "https://www.airbnb.com/s/Cardiff--United-Kingdom/homes", "numberOfLinks": 25, "checkInDate": "2026-07-01", "numberOfDays": 14, "stayNights": 1, "currency": "GBP", "concurrency": 8 } ```` #### Multiple platforms in one run ```json { "jobs": [ { "platform": "google", "location": "Paris", "pages": 3, "hotelClass": "class_4" }, { "platform": "trivago", "startUrl": "https://www.trivago.co.uk/en-GB/srl/hotels-cardiff-united-kingdom?search=200-21013;dr-20260410-20260411;drs-40;pa-2;rc-1-2", "days": 7 }, { "platform": "booking-calendar", "startUrls": [ "https://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/marriott-cardiff.html" ], "targetMonth": "2026-12" }, { "platform": "booking-search", "startUrls": [ "https://www.booking.com/searchresults.html?ss=Cardiff&dest_id=-2598479&dest_type=city" ], "startDate": "2026-07-01", "days": 7, "currency": "GBP" } ], "concurrentJobs": 2, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ``` #### URL-only (platform auto-detected) ```json { "startUrls": ["https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/12345678"] } ``` ### Per-platform reference | Platform | Key inputs | Notes | |---|---|---| | **airbnb** | `searchUrl` or `startUrls`, `numberOfLinks`, `checkInDate`, `numberOfDays`, `stayNights`, `concurrency` | Walks search pagination with Playwright, then fans out concurrent PDP GraphQL calls. | | **booking-search** | `startUrls` (search URLs), `startDate`, `days`, `currency` | Warms cookies in a real browser, replays the search URL with each date. Proxy recommended. | | **booking-calendar** | `startUrls` (hotel detail URLs), `targetMonth` | Reads the per-hotel price calendar month by month. | | **google** | `location`, `pages`, `hotelClass` | Selenium-driven Google Travel scraper with star filters. | | **trivago** | `startUrl`, `days`, `maxRetries` | SeleniumBase CDP intercepts the live GraphQL call; the API is then replayed for each date and page. | ### Output schema Every dataset record matches `src/common/schema.py:HotelRecord`. The most useful fields: ``` platform source_url scraped_at listing_id name property_type location city / country latitude / longitude check_in check_out nights currency price_per_night price_per_night_display original_price_per_night discount_percent total_price cleaning_fee / service_fee / taxes rating review_count star_rating rating_cleanliness / rating_value / … (Airbnb sub-ratings) guest_capacity bedrooms / beds / bathrooms pets_allowed image_url amenities[] host raw {…} ## platform-specific extras ``` `raw` is a free-form bag where each scraper stows fields that don't map cleanly onto the canonical schema (Trivago advertiser IDs, Airbnb meta-description, Booking deal labels, etc.). # Actor input Schema ## `platform` (type: `string`): Which scraper to run. Auto-detected from URL if omitted. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): List of listing / search URLs. Required for Airbnb listing mode, Booking.com (both modes), Trivago (single). ## `searchUrl` (type: `string`): Airbnb search results URL — listings will be harvested by walking pagination. ## `startUrl` (type: `string`): Trivago search results URL — sets destination + filters; pricing is replayed via API. ## `location` (type: `string`): Free-text destination (e.g. 'London', 'Paris 5th arr.'). ## `numberOfLinks` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of unique /rooms/ URLs to harvest from the Airbnb search results. ## `checkInDate` (type: `string`): YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to today. Used by the Airbnb scraper as the first of `numberOfDays` rolling start dates. ## `startDate` (type: `string`): YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to today. First check-in date for the Booking.com search scraper. ## `numberOfDays` (type: `integer`): How many rolling start dates to query. With stayNights=1 this maps 1:1 to nights; with stayNights>1 each window slides one day forward. ## `days` (type: `integer`): How many consecutive check-in dates to scan for the Booking search and Trivago scrapers. ## `stayNights` (type: `integer`): Number of nights per booking window (Airbnb only). Booking and Trivago always use 1 night. ## `targetMonth` (type: `string`): Calendar pagination stops once this month is reached. Format 'YYYY-MM' or 'December 2026'. ## `pages` (type: `integer`): How many pages of Google Travel results to paginate through. ## `hotelClass` (type: `string`): Restrict Google Travel results to hotels of the given star rating, or 'any' for no filter. ## `currency` (type: `string`): ISO code (USD, GBP, EUR, …). Used both as a fetch parameter and a fallback when parsing price strings. ## `adults` (type: `integer`): Number of adults in the booking party (Airbnb and Booking search). ## `children` (type: `integer`): Number of children in the booking party (Airbnb only). ## `pets` (type: `integer`): Number of pets in the booking party (Airbnb only — affects nightly price on pet-friendly listings). ## `concurrency` (type: `integer`): How many Airbnb PDP API calls to run in parallel. Raise for speed, lower if you start seeing rate-limit errors. ## `concurrentJobs` (type: `integer`): How many of the jobs\[] entries to run in parallel. Each platform spins its own browser, so don't push this high. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Recommended for Booking.com search mode at any meaningful volume. ## Actor input object example ```json { "platform": "airbnb", "startUrls": [], "searchUrl": "https://www.airbnb.com/s/Cardiff--United-Kingdom/homes", "startUrl": "https://www.trivago.co.uk/en-GB/srl/hotels-cardiff-united-kingdom?search=200-21013;dr-20260710-20260711;drs-40;pa-2;rc-1-2", "location": "London", "numberOfLinks": 20, "checkInDate": "2026-07-01", "startDate": "2026-07-01", "numberOfDays": 14, "days": 7, "stayNights": 1, "targetMonth": "2026-12", "pages": 3, "hotelClass": "any", "currency": "USD", "adults": 2, "children": 0, "pets": 0, "concurrency": 6, "concurrentJobs": 1, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
