# Hotel Rate Shopper: Competitor Rates, Same Weekday for 12 Weeks

**Use case:** 

A rate shopping report for revenue managers: your competitors' room rates on Google Hotels for the same weekday over the next 12 weeks, with the price on every booking site (official website, Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda and more) and the cheapest one. Schedule it weekly and send it to Google Sheets.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Google Hotels Scraper: Prices from All Booking Sites](https://apify.com/s_actors/google-hotels-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/s_actors/google-hotels-scraper.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/s_actors/google-hotels-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
