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 ## Rakuten Travel Japan Hotel Scraper An Apify Actor that scrapes hotel data from **Rakuten Travel** — Japan's largest online travel platform — using the official Rakuten API. ### Features - **4 search modes**: Keyword, Area Code, GPS Coordinates, or Hotel Number - **Availability search**: Add check-in/out dates to get live room availability and pricing - **Detailed data**: Hotel info, ratings, reviews, images, access directions, facilities - **Pagination**: Automatically fetches multiple pages (30 hotels per page) - **Rate-limit safe**: Built-in delays between API calls ### Prerequisites You need a free **Rakuten Application ID** and **Access Key**: 1. Go to [https://webservice.rakuten.co.jp/](https://webservice.rakuten.co.jp/) 2. Create a Rakuten account (or sign in) 3. Register a new application to get your **Application ID** and **Access Key** 4. Paste both into the Actor's input fields ### Input Examples #### Keyword search (simplest) ```json { "applicationId": "YOUR_APP_ID", "accessKey": "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY", "searchType": "keyword", "keyword": "東京 温泉" } ```` #### Area search (Tokyo, Shinjuku) ```json { "applicationId": "YOUR_APP_ID", "accessKey": "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY", "searchType": "area", "largeClassCode": "japan", "middleClassCode": "tokyo", "smallClassCode": "shinjuku" } ``` #### Coordinate search (near Tokyo Station) ```json { "applicationId": "YOUR_APP_ID", "accessKey": "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY", "searchType": "coordinates", "latitude": 35.6812, "longitude": 139.7671, "searchRadius": 1 } ``` #### Availability search with dates ```json { "applicationId": "YOUR_APP_ID", "accessKey": "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY", "searchType": "area", "largeClassCode": "japan", "middleClassCode": "osaka", "checkinDate": "2026-05-01", "checkoutDate": "2026-05-03", "adultNum": 2, "rooms": 1 } ``` ### Output Fields | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `hotelName` | Hotel name (Japanese) | | `hotelMinCharge` | Minimum price per night (JPY) | | `reviewAverage` | Average review score | | `reviewCount` | Number of reviews | | `address1` | Prefecture | | `address2` | Full address | | `access` | Access/directions | | `hotelImageUrl` | Main image URL | | `hotelInformationUrl` | Rakuten hotel page URL | | `availablePlans` | Room plans (when using availability search) | | `serviceAverage`, `locationAverage`, etc. | Detailed rating breakdown | ### Common Area Codes (middleClassCode) `tokyo`, `osaka`, `kyoto`, `hokkaido`, `okinawa`, `fukuoka`, `hiroshima`, `nagoya` (aichi), `yokohama` (kanagawa), `nara`, `kobe` (hyogo) ### Deploy ```bash apify push ``` ### Tech Stack Python 3.12, Apify SDK, httpx # Actor input Schema ## `applicationId` (type: `string`): Your Rakuten API Application ID.
