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 ## Ski Resorts Worldwide Scraper Scrape **6,000+ ski and snowboard resorts** from [skiresort.info](https://www.skiresort.info/) — the world's largest ski resort directory. Get resort names, locations, ratings, elevation, slope statistics, lift counts, lift-pass prices, and optional 7-day snow & weather forecasts. **No API key required.** Works for any region — Alps, Rockies, Japan, Andes, Southern Alps, anywhere with a chairlift. ### What you can search - **Worldwide** (curated ~1,600 top-ranked resorts) - **Any continent**: Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Oceania, Africa - **Any major ski country**: 30+ countries pre-listed in the dropdown - **Custom URLs**: paste any skiresort.info filter URL for sub-regions like "Colorado", "Alps", or "Hokkaido" ### What data you get #### Listing data (always included) | Field | Description | |---|---| | resortId | skiresort.info internal ID | | name | Resort name | | slug | URL-safe identifier | | url | Direct link to resort page | | continent, country, region, subRegion | Full geographic hierarchy | | rating | User rating (0.0 – 5.0) | | ratingLabel | Human-readable rating | | imageUrl | Header photo URL | | elevationTop_m / elevationBase_m / elevationDifference_m | Mountain elevations | | slopesTotal_km | Total trail length | | slopesEasy_km / slopesIntermediate_km / slopesDifficult_km | Length by difficulty | | liftsCount | Number of ski lifts | | liftPassPrice | Adult day-pass price | | liftPassCurrency | Currency symbol (€, $, £, ¥, etc.) | #### Snow report (when `includeSnowReport: true`) | Field | Description | |---|---| | status | open / closed | | snowDepth | Current snow depth on slopes | | snowDepthUnit | cm or in | | lastSnowfall | Date of most recent snowfall | | forecast | 7-day weather forecast — snow line, new snow at summit/base, temperature ranges | ### Example inputs **Top 100 resorts worldwide:** ```json { "region": "worldwide", "maxResults": 100 } ```` **All ski resorts in Japan with snow conditions:** ```json { "region": "japan", "maxResults": 500, "includeSnowReport": true } ``` **Every Austrian resort:** ```json { "region": "austria", "maxResults": 600 } ``` **Custom regional filter** (paste a skiresort.info URL — e.g. Colorado, the Alps, Hokkaido): ```json { "startUrls": ["https://www.skiresort.info/ski-resorts/colorado-usa/"], "maxResults": 200 } ``` ### Use cases - **Ski-tracking apps**: real-time snow conditions across thousands of resorts - **Travel planning sites**: comparison data for trip-planning content - **Insurance & analytics**: resort capacity, slope difficulty, lift infrastructure - **B2B research**: ski industry market analysis - **LLM training**: structured global ski-resort knowledge - **Booking platforms**: resort metadata for affiliate sites ### Why this Actor - **Truly global** — every ski resort with operational data: Alps, Rockies, Japan, Korea, Caucasus, Andes, Southern Alps, even Iran and Kazakhstan - **No API key, no auth, no rate-limit dodging** - **Year-round value** — Northern hemisphere Dec-Apr, Southern hemisphere Jun-Oct, plus glacier resorts open year-round - **Optional snow report mode** — get full 7-day forecasts and current conditions in one request per resort ### Attribution Data is sourced from [skiresort.info](https://www.skiresort.info/). Any application using this data should link back to the source. # Actor input Schema ## `region` (type: `string`): Geographic region to scrape. Choose 'Worldwide (Top resorts)' for the curated best ~1,600 resorts, or pick a country/continent for full coverage of that area. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Paste one or more skiresort.info listing URLs directly. Useful for sub-regions (e.g. 'Colorado', 'Alps') or filtered views. When set, overrides the Region selector. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of resorts to scrape per URL. ## `includeSnowReport` (type: `boolean`): Fetch the snow report page for each resort and extract current snow depth, last snowfall, and a 7-day weather forecast at base and summit. Slower (one extra request per resort) but much more valuable for travel-planning apps. ## Actor input object example ```json { "region": "worldwide", "startUrls": [], "maxResults": 100, "includeSnowReport": false } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "startUrls": [] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("piquno/ski-resorts-worldwide-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
