Supports city, check-in/out dates, guests, and rooms. - **URL**: https://apify.com/thirdwatch/ctrip-hotels-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Thirdwatch](https://apify.com/thirdwatch) (community) - **Categories:** Travel - **Stats:** 5 total users, 4 monthly users, 52.9% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $30.00 / 1,000 results This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

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 ## Ctrip / Trip.com Hotel Scraper Scrape hotel listings from **Trip.com** (the English face of Ctrip): prices, ratings, reviews, location, star class, amenities, room types, and photos for any city and date range. ### What you get per hotel | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | `hotel_name` | Hotel name | | `hotel_id` | Trip.com internal hotel ID | | `url` | Detail page URL | | `price` | Lowest nightly rate seen | | `currency` | Currency code (USD default) | | `original_price` | Crossed-out / pre-discount price when present | | `rating` | User rating (0-5 scale on Trip.com) | | `rating_label` | "Excellent" / "Very good" / etc. | | `reviews_count` | Total user reviews | | `stars` | Star class (1-5) | | `address` | Street / area description | | `city`, `district` | Location breakdown | | `latitude`, `longitude` | Map coordinates | | `image_url` | Primary photo | | `amenities` | List of facility names | | `room_types` | Sample room types from card | | `tags` | Promotional / property tags | | `distance_from_center` | When Trip.com provides it | | `checkin_date`, `checkout_date`, `search_city` | Echoed inputs | | `source` | `"api"` (preferred) or `"dom"` (fallback) | ### Input ```json { "city": "Tokyo", "cityId": 228, "checkIn": "2026-06-01", "checkOut": "2026-06-03", "guests": 2, "rooms": 1, "maxResults": 50 } ```` `cityId` is **strongly recommended** for production. Trip.com's hotel list endpoint requires a numeric city ID — passing only a city name does **not** drive a search. The actor has a small built-in map of verified IDs (Tokyo 228, Singapore 73, Beijing 1, Shanghai 2, Madrid 357, Granada 717, New Delhi 495) and tries an in-browser autocomplete fallback for everything else, but the autocomplete resolver is not 100% reliable. To grab a cityId by hand, open `https://www.trip.com/hotels/list?city=` for guesses and check the page title. ### How it works Trip.com renders its hotel list entirely client-side, behind a stealth-defence script (`hotel-spider-defence`) and a jigsaw CAPTCHA. Pure HTTP requests to the public `fetchHotelList` SOA endpoint are rejected without the dynamic `testab` token minted by the in-page JS. The actor uses **Camoufox** (stealth Firefox) with Apify Residential proxy, performs a homepage warmup to settle session cookies, and then: 1. Attaches a `page.on("response")` listener **before navigation**, capturing every JSON response on `/restapi/soa2/34951/fetchHotelList`. 2. Loads `/hotels/list?city=&checkin=&checkout=&adult=&crn=` and scrolls to trigger pagination / dynamic refresh XHRs. 3. Recursively walks each captured JSON for hotel records (matches dicts that look like a hotel: have `hotelBasicInfo`, or both `hotelName` and `hotelId`). 4. Falls back to anchor-based DOM extraction (`a[href*="/hotels/detail/"]` walked up to the smallest container with an image + meaningful text) if the API capture comes up short. This is the same XHR-intercept pattern used by `meesho-scraper` and `tatacliq-scraper` in this repo. ### Pricing (PPE) | Tier | Per result | | --- | --- | | FREE | $0.008 | | BRONZE | $0.006 | | SILVER | $0.005 | | GOLD | $0.004 | ### Known limits - **Pagination is XHR-driven, not URL-driven.** We rely on scrolling to fetch additional pages; 50-100 hotels per run is the comfortable ceiling. Larger `maxResults` may stall. - **CAPTCHA risk.** Trip.com occasionally serves a jigsaw challenge to fresh proxy IPs. The actor retries up to 3 times with new browsers; persistent failures usually mean the proxy IP is currently flagged. - **Currency.** All requests are pinned to USD via the `curr` URL param. Trip.com may still echo back rates that include local taxes/fees. - **City ID auto-resolve is best-effort.** For ambiguous city names, supply `cityId` directly. # Actor input Schema ## `city` (type: `string`): City name to search hotels in. Examples: 'Tokyo', 'Bangkok', 'Paris', 'Singapore'. ## `cityId` (type: `integer`): Trip.com internal city ID. If known, this is faster and more reliable than the city name. Example: 228 for Tokyo, 187 for Paris. Leave blank to auto-resolve from city name. ## `checkIn` (type: `string`): Check-in date in YYYY-MM-DD format. ## `checkOut` (type: `string`): Check-out date in YYYY-MM-DD format. ## `guests` (type: `integer`): Number of adult guests. ## `rooms` (type: `integer`): Number of rooms. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of hotels to scrape. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Residential proxies recommended for reliability. ## Actor input object example ```json { "city": "Tokyo", "checkIn": "2026-12-01", "checkOut": "2026-12-03", "guests": 2, "rooms": 1, "maxResults": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
