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 ## RedWeek Timeshare Scraper Extract RedWeek timeshare resort listings for rentals and resales from a RedWeek search URL. Collect resort names, locations, ratings, review counts, available rental and resale counts, price ranges, images, coordinates, and direct RedWeek links for research, pricing analysis, and market monitoring. ### Features - **URL-based collection** - Start from any supported RedWeek search URL. - **Rental and resale coverage** - Collect counts, price ranges, and direct listing links. - **Pagination control** - Set result and page limits for quick tests or larger runs. - **Clean dataset** - Empty fields are omitted from each result. - **Location data** - Capture city, state, latitude, longitude, and image links when available. ### Use Cases #### Timeshare Market Research Compare resort availability across Florida, Orlando, Hawaii, or other RedWeek destinations. Track which resorts have the most rental or resale activity. #### Pricing Analysis Monitor rental nightly ranges and resale price ranges across competing resorts. Use the data to compare resort demand, listing density, and pricing bands. #### Travel Inventory Monitoring Collect resort-level availability signals before planning campaigns, content, or partnerships. Filter by a RedWeek URL for specific regions or destinations. --- ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `startUrl` | String | Yes | Florida RedWeek search | RedWeek search URL to collect | | `results_wanted` | Integer | No | `20` | Maximum results to save | | `max_pages` | Integer | No | `3` | Maximum result pages to request | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Apify Proxy | Optional proxy settings | --- ### Output Data | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `resort_id` | String | RedWeek resort identifier | | `resort_name` | String | Resort name | | `resort_url` | String | Direct resort URL | | `location` | String | Resort city and state | | `rating` | Number | Resort rating | | `reviews_count` | Number | Number of reviews | | `badge` | String | Visible resort label | | `image_url` | String | Resort image | | `rental_count` | Number | Rental postings available | | `rental_price_range` | String | Displayed rental price range | | `resale_count` | Number | Resale postings available | | `resale_price_range` | String | Displayed resale price range | | `rentals_url` | String | Rental listings URL | | `resales_url` | String | Resale listings URL | | `latitude` | Number | Resort latitude | | `longitude` | Number | Resort longitude | --- ### Usage Examples #### Scrape a RedWeek URL ```json { "startUrl": "https://www.redweek.com/search/North+America/United+States/Florida-timeshares", "results_wanted": 20, "max_pages": 3 } ```` ### Sample Output ```json { "resort_id": "5701", "resort_name": "Marriott's Crystal Shores", "resort_url": "https://www.redweek.com/resort/P5701-marriotts-crystal-shores", "location": "Marco Island, Florida", "rating": 5, "reviews_count": 884, "badge": "Voted Top Pick 2026", "rental_count": 668, "rental_price_range": "$175 - $1,876/night", "resale_count": 12, "resale_price_range": "$8,950 - $79,000", "latitude": 25.920085, "longitude": -81.727577 } ``` *** ### Tips for Best Results #### Use Specific URLs - Start with a RedWeek search URL when you need an exact region or filtered result set. - Keep test runs small with `results_wanted` set to `20`. #### Tune Pagination - Increase `max_pages` when collecting broad markets. - Use `results_wanted` to stop once enough records are saved. #### Proxy Configuration ```json { "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ``` *** ### Integrations Connect your data with: - **Google Sheets** - Review resorts and pricing in spreadsheets. - **Airtable** - Build searchable timeshare datasets. - **Webhooks** - Send fresh results to your systems. - **Make** - Automate reporting workflows. - **Zapier** - Trigger alerts from new datasets. #### Export Formats - **JSON** - For applications and analysis. - **CSV** - For spreadsheet workflows. - **Excel** - For business reporting. *** ### Frequently Asked Questions #### Can I scrape a specific RedWeek destination? Yes. Provide a RedWeek search URL in `startUrl` for the destination you want. #### Can I search without a URL? No. Provide a RedWeek search URL for the destination or filtered result page you want to collect. #### How many results can I collect? You can set `results_wanted` to the number you need, while `max_pages` controls how far the actor paginates. #### Why are some fields missing? Some resorts do not display every field. Empty values are omitted from the dataset. #### Does it collect rental and resale links? Yes. Results include direct rental and resale URLs when RedWeek displays them. *** ### Support For issues or feature requests, contact support through the Apify Console. #### Resources - [Apify Documentation](https://docs.apify.com/) - [API Reference](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) - [Scheduling Runs](https://docs.apify.com/schedules) *** ### Legal Notice This actor is designed for legitimate data collection purposes.
