## What's an Apify Actor?

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).

## Priceline Hotel Reviews Scraper

Extract guest review data from Priceline hotel pages in a clean, analysis-ready dataset. Collect reviewer details, traveler type, review text, positive and negative remarks, category scores, and total review counts for hotel research, monitoring, and comparison.

### Features

- **Hotel URL or ID input** - Start with a Priceline hotel page or a hotel ID.
- **Guest review collection** - Gather review text, reviewer metadata, ratings, and summary scores.

### Use Cases

#### Hotel Reputation Research

#### Travel Data Monitoring
Collect recent review samples for recurring reporting. Keep datasets small for fast checks or increase limits for deeper analysis.

#### Customer Experience Analysis

### Tips for Best Results

#### Start Small

- Use `results_wanted: 20` for test runs.
- Increase limits after confirming the hotel has enough reviews.

#### Use Valid Hotel Pages

- Use Priceline hotel pages that contain `/relax/at/`.
- If a URL changes, provide the hotel ID directly.

#### Tune Pagination

- Raise `max_pages` when collecting larger datasets.
- Use `results_wanted` and `max_pages` to control collection size.

***

### Integrations

Connect your data with:

- **Google Sheets** - Review data and score tracking
- **Airtable** - Searchable review databases
- **Webhooks** - Send results to your system
- **Make** - Automated reporting workflows
- **Zapier** - Trigger alerts from new datasets

#### Export Formats

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### Can I use only a hotel ID?

Yes, you can provide `hotelId` without a URL.

#### Does it collect all reviews?

It collects up to your `results_wanted` and `max_pages` limits.

#### Why are some fields missing?

Fields are omitted when Priceline does not provide a value for that review.

#### Can I collect reviews from multiple hotels?

Run the actor once per hotel to keep datasets clearly separated.

#### What URL formats are supported?

Priceline hotel URLs using `/relax/at/326303` and dated variants are supported.
