## What's an Apify Actor?
An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.
Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.
## 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.
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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.
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`).
# README
## Google Hotels Search Scraper
Google Hotels Search Scraper runs a Google Hotels search for a destination and stay and returns every hotel on the page with its **price for your dates**, rating and review count, star class, amenities, GPS coordinates, images and the property token used by the other Google Hotels scrapers. It supports Google's filters (price range, rating, star class, amenities, property type, free cancellation) and pages through results. Two lookup modes turn a hotel name into its property token, or into up to three candidates with address and phone.
Powered by the [ScraperCompany API](https://scrapercompany.com): requests, proxies, retries and anti-bot handling run on ScraperCompany's servers, so you don't need your own proxies or API key. Start a run, get structured JSON.
Prefer to call it from your own code? The same data is available as the [Google Hotels API](https://scrapercompany.com/google-hotels-api), with per-call pricing and a free tier.
### What can this scraper do?
- **Destination search** exactly like Google Hotels: `hotels in Montreal`, `Paris`, `hotels near JFK`.
- Per hotel: **nightly and total price**, rating, reviews, star class, amenities, GPS, images, nearby places and property token.
- Google's **filters**: price range, minimum rating, star class, amenities, property types, free cancellation, special offers, eco-certified.
- **Paging** up to 20 pages per query, any currency, country and language, children ages.
- **Find property token** for a hotel name, or **Resolve** a name to candidates with address and phone.
#### Modes
| Mode | What it returns | Price per request |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `search` | Hotels for a destination and stay: price, rating, reviews, class, amenities, GPS, property token | $0.005 |
| `token` | Google Hotels property token for a hotel name (fast, verified) | $0.002 |
| `resolve` | Up to 3 candidates for a hotel name and place, with address, phone, rating and token | $0.018 |
### What data can you extract?
| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `properties[].name / type / hotel_class` | Hotel identity and class |
| `properties[].rate` | Nightly and total price for the stay, before and after taxes |
| `properties[].rating / reviews / reviews_breakdown` | Guest rating, review count and breakdown |
| `properties[].amenities / images / thumbnail` | Amenities and photos |
| `properties[].gps_coordinates / nearby_places` | Location |
| `properties[].property_token` | Token for the Google Hotels Property and Calendar scrapers |
| `search_information` | Resolved location, total results, returned currency |
| `pagination.next_page_token` | Cursor for the next page |
| `matches[].token / verified (Find property token)` | Token per candidate, verified against Google |
| `properties[].address / phone (Resolve)` | Candidates with address and phone |
Every dataset item also carries `input` (the exact request that was sent), `request_id` (quote it to support), `billed` and `scraped_at`.
### How to use Google Hotels Search Scraper
1. Open Google Hotels Search Scraper in Apify Console and go to the **Input** tab.
2. Type destinations as you would on Google Hotels and set your dates (exact or relative such as `30 days`). Use **Find property token** mode with hotel names to get tokens for the other Google Hotels scrapers.
3. Adjust the options if needed. Dates accept an exact date (`2026-12-01`) or a relative one (`30 days` from today), so saved tasks and schedules never go stale.
4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download the results from the **Output** tab as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or fetch them with the Apify API.
### Input example
This is the default input; running the Actor without changes uses it.

A request that fails is saved with an `error` message instead (turn off **Include failed requests** to skip those). Failed requests are never charged.
### How much does it cost?
This Actor uses **pay-per-event** pricing: you pay for successful API requests, not for compute time.
| Event | Charged when | Price | Per 1,000 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `search-page` | One page of Google Hotels destination results (about 20 properties with prices). Empty pages are free. | $0.005 | $5.00 |
| `token-lookup` | One hotel name matched to its Google Hotels property token. | $0.002 | $2.00 |
| `resolve-request` | One hotel name and place resolved to up to 3 candidates with address, phone and rating. | $0.018 | $18.00 |
For example, 1,000 requests in the default mode cost **$5.00**.
- Failed requests (errors, invalid input, blocked upstream after retries) are **free**.
- Requests where the source returns nothing at all (no results, nothing priced) are saved but **not charged**.
- Set **Maximum cost per run** when you start a run and the Actor stops cleanly before going over it.
### FAQ
#### Do I need proxies or a ScraperCompany API key?
No. Proxy rotation, retries and anti-bot handling run on the ScraperCompany side, and the Actor is already connected to the API. You only pay the per-event prices above.
#### What is a property token for?
It identifies a hotel on Google Hotels. Pass it to the Google Hotels Property Scraper (OTA offers, rooms, details), the Price Calendar Scraper (330-night calendar) or the Hotel Reviews Scraper (source: Google).
#### Why do some hotels have no price?
Google only prices hotels with availability for your dates and party. Others are still listed with their details.
#### Is there an official Google Hotels API?
Google's hotel APIs are for partners who send prices to Google, not for reading them. This Actor returns the public Google Hotels results as structured data.
#### How many hotels does a page return?
About 20 properties per page. Turn on paging to go further; a page with no properties is not charged.
#### Can I price a hotel for many dates?
Yes, with the Google Hotels Price Calendar Scraper: up to 330 nights for one hotel in a single request, using the property token this Actor returns.
#### Is it legal to scrape this data?
The Actor collects publicly available information that anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for how you use the results: respect the source site's terms, copyright and privacy law (such as GDPR) and do not collect personal data without a lawful basis. If in doubt, ask a lawyer.
#### What happens when a request is blocked or rate-limited?
Rate limits (HTTP 429) and temporary errors (5xx) are retried automatically with exponential backoff, respecting `Retry-After`. If a request still fails it is saved with the error message and not charged, and the rest of the batch keeps going. A run only fails when every request failed.
#### Why did a request return an error?
Read the `error` field: validation problems (for example a malformed date or an unknown id) are reported exactly as the API sees them. Fix the input and run again; failed requests cost nothing.
#### How many requests can I run at once?
Any number per run. The Actor sends up to 3 requests in parallel by default (change it under **Run options**); larger batches simply take longer.
### Use it from your code
Call the Actor from any language through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). With the JavaScript client (`npm install apify-client`):
```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('scrapercompany/google-hotels-search-scraper').call({
"mode": "search",
"queries": [
"hotels in Montreal"
],
"check_in": "30 days",
"check_out": "32 days"
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```
With Python (`pip install apify-client`):
```python
import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("scrapercompany/google-hotels-search-scraper").call(run_input={
"mode": "search",
"queries": ["hotels in Montreal"],
"check_in": "30 days",
"check_out": "32 days",
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
print(item)
```
You can also schedule runs, chain them with webhooks, or connect them to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets and other integrations from the **Integrations** tab.
