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 ## Expedia Hotels Scraper Scrape Expedia hotel listings by city with amenity filters, star ratings, guest scores, prices, images, and coordinates. Powered by stealth browser automation that intercepts Expedia's internal GraphQL API — returning real-time data exactly as shown to users. ### Why this actor? | Feature | This actor | Typical competitors | |---------|-----------|---------------------| | Results per city | **50–200+** | 20 max | | Amenity filter (hot tub, pool, spa…) | **Yes** | No | | Property star rating (1–5 stars) | **Yes** | Rarely | | Guest rating + review count | **Yes** | Sometimes | | Nightly price + total price | **Yes** | Sometimes | | Hotel image URL | **Yes** | Sometimes | | GPS coordinates | **Yes** | No | | Sort by price / rating / stars | **Yes** | No | | Exclude vacation rentals | **Yes** | No | | Minimum star filter | **Yes** | No | | Minimum guest rating filter | **Yes** | No | ### Output fields | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `hotel_id` | Unique Expedia hotel ID | | `name` | Hotel name | | `star_rating` | Property star class (1–5, e.g. 3.0 = 3-star property) | | `guest_rating` | Guest score out of 10 (e.g. 8.8) | | `review_count` | Number of verified guest reviews | | `nightly_price` | Price per night (USD) | | `total_price` | Total price for stay duration | | `free_cancellation` | Whether free cancellation is available | | `property_url` | Direct Expedia booking URL | | `city` | City name | | `neighborhood` | Neighborhood / area name | | `latitude` / `longitude` | GPS coordinates | | `amenities` | Array of amenity labels (e.g. `["Free WiFi", "Pool", "Hot tub"]`) | | `amenity_ids` | Raw amenity IDs for programmatic filtering | | `image_url` | Primary hotel photo URL | | `location_searched` | Location query used | | `check_in` / `check_out` | Dates used for the search | ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `location` | Array | required | City names (e.g. `["Atlanta, Georgia", "Miami, Florida"]`) | | `checkIn` | String | required | Check-in date `YYYY-MM-DD` | | `checkOut` | String | required | Check-out date `YYYY-MM-DD` | | `resultsWanted` | Integer | 50 | Max hotels per location (1–500) | | `amenities` | Array | none | Amenity filters: `hot_tub`, `pool`, `gym`, `spa`, `parking`, `free_parking`, `pet_friendly`, `restaurant`, `breakfast`, `wifi`, `airport_shuttle`, `kitchen`, `indoor_pool` | | `sort` | Select | RECOMMENDED | Sort: `PRICE_LOW_TO_HIGH`, `PRICE_HIGH_TO_LOW`, `GUEST_RATING`, `STAR_RATING_HIGH_TO_LOW` | | `minRating` | Number | 0 | Minimum guest rating out of 10 (e.g. `7.0`) | | `minStars` | Integer | 0 | Minimum property star class (e.g. `3` for 3-star and above) | | `rooms` | Integer | 1 | Number of rooms | | `adults` | Integer | 2 | Adults per room | | `children` | Integer | 0 | Number of children | | `excludeVacationRentals` | Boolean | true | Skip Vrbo/Airbnb-style rentals | | `proxyConfiguration` | Proxy | — | **Residential proxy required** (see below) | ### Proxy requirement **Residential proxy is required.** Expedia blocks all datacenter IPs with a 429 Too Many Requests error. Set `proxyConfiguration` to use Apify Residential proxy: ```json { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } ```` Apify Residential proxy is available on all paid Apify plans. This is standard for any serious Expedia scraper — actors that claim to work without residential proxy will fail silently or return empty results. ### Example input ```json { "location": ["Atlanta, Georgia", "Miami, Florida"], "checkIn": "2026-08-01", "checkOut": "2026-08-03", "resultsWanted": 100, "amenities": ["hot_tub"], "sort": "GUEST_RATING", "minStars": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` ### Example output ```json { "hotel_id": "12345678", "name": "Hilton Atlanta", "star_rating": 4, "guest_rating": 8.6, "review_count": 3241, "nightly_price": 159, "total_price": 318, "free_cancellation": true, "property_url": "https://www.expedia.com/Atlanta-Hotels-Hilton-Atlanta.h12345678.Hotel-Information", "city": "Atlanta", "neighborhood": "Downtown Atlanta", "latitude": 33.7588, "longitude": -84.3877, "amenities": ["Free WiFi", "Pool", "Fitness Center", "Restaurant"], "amenity_ids": ["free_wifi", "pool", "gym", "restaurant"], "image_url": "https://images.trvl-media.com/...", "location_searched": "Atlanta, Georgia", "check_in": "2026-08-01", "check_out": "2026-08-03" } ``` ### How it works Uses Puppeteer with stealth mode (puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth) running in headful mode via Xvfb on Apify's infrastructure. Navigates Expedia's hotel search page, clicks amenity filter buttons in the actual UI, then intercepts `PropertyListingQuery` GraphQL responses directly. Property star ratings are extracted from the rendered DOM. Supports automatic scroll-based pagination to retrieve up to 200+ hotels per city. ### Use cases - Hotel market research and competitive analysis - Travel price monitoring and aggregation - Lead generation for hospitality businesses - Building hotel databases with ratings, amenities, and pricing - Filtering hotels by specific amenities (hot tubs, pools, gyms) for niche travel sites # Actor input Schema ## `location` (type: `array`): City/region names to search.
