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.

Lastminute.com (All countries site) is a major European online travel platform specializing in hotels, flights, and holiday packages — often featuring last-minute deals and promotional pricing. Its hotel search surfaces hundreds of properties per destination with rich metadata including rates, dates, and geo-tagged locations. Manually collecting this data is impractical for analysis at scale; the **Lastminute.com Hotels Search Scraper** automates extraction from search result pages directly. --- ### Overview The **Lastminute.com Hotels Scraper** targets hotel search result URLs and returns structured records covering accommodation details, pricing, dates, promotions, geo coordinates, and debug metadata. It is built for: - **Travel analysts** tracking pricing trends across destinations - **Price comparison platforms** aggregating hotel rates - **Revenue managers** benchmarking competitor rates - **Researchers** studying tourism supply and demand patterns The scraper supports bulk URL runs, configurable item limits, and fault-tolerant execution via the `ignore_url_failures` flag. --- ### Input Format The scraper accepts a simple JSON configuration: ```json { "ignore_url_failures": true, "max_items_per_url": 200, "urls": [ "https://www.lastminute.com/s/tsx?businessProfileId=HOLIDAYSLASTMINUTECOUK_PROMO&seed=d570f0fe&source=csw&searchId=t1779814257478bcf5&bfSubSource=S01HPV10S03RR01&dateFrom=2026-05-29&dateTo=2026-05-30&pageType=search&searchMode=HO&sort=recommended&destination=G-TOR-5370&adults=2&vcSearchId=619701572", "https://www.lastminute.ie/s/tsx?dateFrom=2026-05-30&dateTo=2026-05-31&pageType=search&searchMode=HO&sort=recommended&destination=G-TOR-5370&adults=2&source=csw&bfSubSource=S01HPV10S10RR01&businessProfileId=HOLIDAYSLASTMINUTEIE&searchId=t1779848947868d90c&seed=27812fe1&vcSearchId=586924281" ] } ```` #### Field Reference | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `urls` | `array` | — | One or more Lastminute.com (All countries site) **hotel search result URLs**. Paste individually or use bulk edit. The URL must be a search page (with `searchMode=HO`), not an individual hotel page. | | `max_items_per_url` | `integer` | `20` | Maximum number of hotel records collected per URL. Set higher (e.g., `200`) for full destination coverage. | | `ignore_url_failures` | `boolean` | `true` | When `true`, failed URLs are skipped and the run continues. Recommended for bulk URL lists. | > **Tip:** Build search URLs directly from Lastminute.com by performing a hotel search and copying the resulting browser URL. Key parameters include `dateFrom`, `dateTo`, `destination`, `adults`, and `sort`. *** ### Output Format **Sample output** ```json { "accommodation": { "facilities": { "adults_only": false, "children": false, "disable_guest": true, "entertainment": false, "free_wifi": true, "health_safety": true, "kitchen": false, "parking": true, "pets_allowed": false, "pool": false, "seafront": false, "spa": false, "general_ev_charge": true, "activities_bowling": true, "food_bar": true, "food_restaurant": true, "food_minimarket": true }, "address": "38-51 Bedford Way", "chain_name": "", "comvel_id": 0, "orchestra_id": 0, "gallery": [ "https://res.cloudinary.com/lastminute/image/upload/v1713530842/03.Twin_iitqvu.jpg", "https://res.cloudinary.com/lastminute/image/upload/v1769619720/eji3qw15vjufmxnbm3wq.jpg", "https://res.cloudinary.com/lastminute/image/upload/v1769619720/ywkiw0ayfoxj72knaboq.jpg", "https://res.cloudinary.com/lastminute/image/upload/v1769619721/dulzpcxdj11azkzup2oc.jpg", "https://res.cloudinary.com/lastminute/image/upload/v1769619718/kjdnb95cdbyo8ts0vixk.jpg" ], "image": "https://res.cloudinary.com/lastminute/image/upload/v1713530842/03.Twin_iitqvu.jpg", "hotel_id": 2520955, "is_alternative": false, "latitude": 51.523468017578125, "longitude": -0.1273140013217926, "name": "Royal National Hotel", "provider_id": 31, "rating": 87, "reviews_num": 15047, "stars": 3, "type": "hotels", "type_id": 1, "themes": [ { "name": "cityhotel", "score": 85, "type": "LOCATION_BASED" } ] }, "dates": { "acc_nights": 1, "alternative": false, "checkin": "2026-06-07", "checkout": "2026-06-08", "date_from": "2026-06-07", "date_to": "2026-06-08", "nights": 1, "alternative_deals": false, "sold_out": false }, "geo": { "city_display_name": "London", "city_name": "London", "country_code": "GB", "country_name": "United Kingdom", "distance_km": 1.7977277537732073, "geo_d_b_id": "TOR-5370", "internal_id_city": 141660, "leisure": 4, "tag_id": 0, "tag_ids": 0 }, "promotions": { "black_friday": false, "flash_sale": false, "flash_sale_expiration": "", "london_eye": false, "tour_france": false }, "rate": { "features": { "cancellation": true, "book_now_pay_later": false, "meal_plan": 1, "rooms": 1 }, "flags": { "fallback": true, "livectx": false, "loyalty": false, "mobile": false, "my_price": false, "opx": false, "pink_people": false, "plus": false, "tmp_stateful_send_search_id": true, "tsh": false, "voucher_extra_type": 0 }, "offers": { "january_sale": false, "ski_pass": false, "spa": false, "tickets": false, "transfer": false }, "package_discount": { "enabled": false, "total_price_fo": 0, "total_price_ho": 0 }, "price": { "age": 46, "currency": "GBP", "is_per_person": false, "deposit_amount": 0, "price": 0, "show_discount": false, "strikethrough": 0, "taxes": 0, "taxes_total": 0, "total": { "deposit_amount": 0, "price": 0, "price_eur": 103.18, "strikethrough": 0, "strikethrough_eur": 103.18 } }, "price_plus": { "age": 46, "currency": "GBP", "is_per_person": false, "price": 0, "show_discount": false, "strikethrough": 0, "taxes": 0, "taxes_total": 0, "total": { "price": 0, "strikethrough": 0 } }, "tep": { "cost": 0, "discount": 0, "enabled": false, "voucher": 0, "standard_price": 0 }, "context": {} }, "debug": { "business_profile": "HOL_LMNUK_GOOGLEHOTCOUK", "initiator": "OpenX Search", "opx_sort_priority": 0, "pricing_rules": { "hotel_listing_price_id": 0, "hotel_listing_price_rule_id": 0, "hotel_listing_rate_type": "", "markup_price_rrule_id": 0, "markup_rule_id": 0 }, "ranking_destination": 44, "price_source": "Supply", "ranking_man": 115, "ranking_pos_absolute": 74, "ranking_pos_adjusted": 1, "ranking_pos_original": 74, "ranking_psq": 35.87, "ranking_sa": 0, "ranking_sa_type": "Lunik (P)", "ranking_type": "MSRP+RTCO (FS)", "rtco_enabled": true, "rtco_score": 818492, "rtco_variation": 1, "trace_id": "5a43e800-0320-5739-4c47-574147501a01" }, "from_url": "https://www.lastminute.com/s/tsx?businessProfileId=HOLIDAYSLASTMINUTECOUK_PROMO&seed=d570f0fe&source=csw&searchId=t1779814257478bcf5&bfSubSource=S01HPV10S03RR01&dateFrom=2026-05-29&dateTo=2026-05-30&pageType=search&searchMode=HO&sort=recommended&destination=G-TOR-5370&adults=2&vcSearchId=619701572" } ``` Each hotel record is organized into six top-level groups: #### 1. `Accommodation` Core property information including hotel name, star rating, property type, facilities, images, and internal identifiers. This is the primary block for building a property catalog. #### 2. `Dates` Check-in and check-out dates, length of stay, and availability window derived from the search query. Useful for correlating rates to specific date ranges. #### 3. `Geo` Geographic metadata including destination name, country, region, coordinates (latitude/longitude), and destination ID (e.g., `G-TOR-5370`). Enables map-based visualization and regional filtering. #### 4. `Promotions` Any active deals, discount labels, or promotional tags attached to the listing (e.g., "Early Bird", "Limited Offer"). Valuable for tracking promotional activity over time. #### 5. `Rate` Pricing data including base rate, total price, currency, per-night cost, and board type (e.g., room only, breakfast included). The most critical group for price comparison and trend analysis. #### 6. `Debug` Internal metadata such as search session IDs, source parameters, and scrape timestamps. Useful for tracing data provenance and debugging run-specific issues. *** ### How to Use 1. **Build your search URL** — Go to Lastminute.com, search for hotels in your target destination with the desired dates and guest count, then copy the full URL from the browser. 2. **Configure the input** — Paste the URL(s) into the `urls` array. Adjust `max_items_per_url` based on how many results you need (up to 200 per run). 3. **Run the scraper** — Start the actor and monitor progress in the run log. 4. **Export results** — Download as JSON, CSV, or Excel for analysis or integration. **Best practices:** - Use specific date ranges in your URL for accurate rate data — rates change daily. - Run separate URLs per destination for cleaner, segmented datasets. - Set `ignore_url_failures: true` when running multiple URLs to avoid full-run failures from a single bad link. - If results seem truncated, verify `max_items_per_url` is set high enough for the destination's hotel count. *** ### Use Cases & Business Value - **Rate intelligence:** Monitor nightly rate fluctuations across competing hotels in a destination - **Promotion tracking:** Detect when and how hotels discount via Lastminute.com - **Market research:** Quantify hotel supply by star rating, region, or board type - **Travel aggregators:** Feed structured listings into custom comparison engines The scraper replaces hours of manual browsing with a single automated run, delivering consistent, structured data ready for spreadsheets, databases, or BI dashboards. *** ### Conclusion The **Lastminute.com Hotels Search Scraper** is an efficient tool for extracting hotel search data at scale — covering pricing, availability, promotions, and geo context in one pass. Whether you're building a rate tracker or conducting market research, it turns Lastminute search pages into actionable datasets within minutes. # Actor input Schema ## `urls` (type: `array`): Add the URLs of the hotels list urls you want to scrape.
