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 ## Despegar Hotels Scraper The Despegar Hotels Scraper extracts hotel availability data from [Despegar US](https://www.us.despegar.com/) for a selected destination, check-in date, check-out date, and guest count. It uses Despegar's hotel suggestions and availability flow to return structured hotel offer data that can be exported from Apify in JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or XML. Use this Actor to monitor hotel availability, compare accommodation prices, or collect Despegar hotel search data for travel research. ### What Can Despegar Hotels Scraper Do? - Resolve destination names such as `London` through Despegar hotel suggestions. - Query Despegar hotel availability for dates and guest count. - Extract hotel names, prices, ratings, star class, location data, images, and source metadata when available. - Accept direct Despegar hotel result URLs in `startUrls`. - Run with Apify dataset exports, scheduling, API access, webhooks, and proxy configuration. ### Important: DataDome Protection Despegar availability requests are protected by DataDome. In local testing, the public suggestions API worked, but the availability API returned a DataDome block without a valid browser/proxy session. The Actor is implemented around the availability API, but reliable production runs will likely require residential proxies or a browser-backed session that can obtain valid DataDome cookies. ### What Despegar Hotel Data Can You Extract? | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | `name` | Hotel or accommodation name | | `destination` | Search destination | | `destinationId` | Despegar destination ID | | `price` | Parsed hotel price when returned | | `currency` | Currency code when returned | | `rating` | User rating when returned | | `stars` | Star rating when returned | | `address` | Address when returned | | `location` | Latitude and longitude when returned | | `imageUrl` | Main image URL when returned | | `hotelUrl` | Hotel detail URL when returned | | `raw` | Source hotel object for auditability | ### Input Example ```json { "destination": "London", "checkInDate": "2026-06-26", "checkOutDate": "2026-06-28", "adults": 2, "maxItems": 21, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` ### Output Example ```json { "destination": "London", "destinationId": "REG_201907", "checkInDate": "2026-06-26", "checkOutDate": "2026-06-28", "adults": 2, "name": "Example Hotel", "price": 250, "currency": "USD", "rating": 8.5, "stars": 4, "resultUrl": "https://www.us.despegar.com/accommodations/results/..." } ``` ### Notes and Limitations Hotel availability and pricing can change quickly. Treat scraped prices as snapshots and verify final rates on Despegar before booking. If Despegar returns a DataDome block, the run will fail with a clear error. Use residential proxies and retry, or provide a run environment that can maintain a valid Despegar browser session. ### Is It Legal to Scrape Despegar Hotels? This Actor extracts publicly visible hotel offer information. You should use it responsibly, respect Despegar's terms, and ensure your use case complies with applicable laws and regulations. If you are unsure whether your use case is allowed, consult a legal professional. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Optional Despegar hotel result URLs. When provided, destination and dates are read from the URL path — the destination/checkInDate/checkOutDate fields below are ignored. ## `destination` (type: `string`): Destination name. Used only when startUrls is empty or the URL does not contain a destination ID. ## `destinationId` (type: `string`): Optional Despegar destination ID such as REG\_201907. If provided, suggestions lookup is skipped. ## `facet` (type: `string`): Despegar destination facet. ## `checkInDate` (type: `string`): Check-in date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Ignored when startUrls contains dates in the URL path. ## `checkOutDate` (type: `string`): Check-out date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Ignored when startUrls contains dates in the URL path. ## `adults` (type: `integer`): Number of adult guests. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of hotel offers to save. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Despegar availability is DataDome-protected, so residential proxies are recommended. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.us.despegar.com/accommodations/results/REG_201907/2026-07-27/2026-07-29/2?from=SB2&facet=city&reSearch=true" } ], "destination": "London", "facet": "city", "checkInDate": "2026-07-27", "checkOutDate": "2026-07-29", "adults": 2, "maxItems": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `overview` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
