## 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 Scraper

Get hotel prices from Google Hotels for any city and any travel dates: nightly price, star class,
guest rating, number of reviews, coordinates, check-in times and the hotel website. One run covers
many cities at once.

The scraper reads Google Hotels with plain HTTP requests, no browser. That makes it fast (about
2 seconds per search) and reliable on the standard Apify datacenter proxy.

### What you can use it for

- **Hotel revenue management:** watch competitor rates for your city and dates every day.
- **Travel startups and price comparison:** feed live hotel prices into your app or spreadsheet.
- **Market research:** compare price levels, star classes and ratings across cities and seasons.
- **Event planning:** check prices and availability around trade fairs, concerts and holidays.

### Input

| Field | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `searchQueries` | Cities or searches, one per line. `Paris` becomes `hotels in Paris`. Districts work, e.g. `hotels in Manhattan`. | required |
| `checkIn` | Arrival date `YYYY-MM-DD` | tomorrow |
| `checkOut` | Departure date `YYYY-MM-DD` | one night after check-in |
| `adults` | Number of adult guests, 1 to 8 | 2 |
| `currency` | Currency code, e.g. `USD`, `EUR`, `GBP` | USD |
| `language` | Google language code | en |
| `country` | Google country code | us |
| `maxResultsPerQuery` | Hotels per search, up to 20 | 20 |

```json
{
    "searchQueries": ["Paris", "hotels in Manhattan", "Berlin Mitte"],
    "checkIn": "2026-11-13",
    "checkOut": "2026-11-15",
    "adults": 2,
    "currency": "EUR"
}
```

### Output

One row per hotel:

```json
{
    "searchQuery": "Lisbon",
    "position": 1,
    "name": "The Editory Riverside Santa Apolónia Hotel",
    "pricePerNight": 108.06,
    "priceDisplay": "€108",
    "currency": "EUR",
    "checkIn": "2026-11-13",
    "checkOut": "2026-11-15",
    "hotelClass": 5,
    "rating": 4.2,
    "reviewCount": 587,
    "ratingHistogram": { "1": 39, "2": 29, "3": 50, "4": 110, "5": 359 },
    "latitude": 38.713592,
    "longitude": -9.1229278,
    "checkInTime": "3:00 PM",
    "checkOutTime": "12:00 PM",
    "website": "https://www.editoryhotels.com/riverside-apolonia-lisboa/",
    "googleHotelsUrl": "https://www.google.com/travel/hotels/entity/ChkIl86QibHd_P0PGg0vZy8xMXNncjJkdGtxEAE",
    "googleMapsFeatureId": "0xd19340aa4a51b41:0xffbf2eb11242717",
    "adults": 2,
    "scrapedAt": "2026-09-24T14:14:34.287Z"
}
```

Export the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or pull them through the Apify API, n8n, Make
or Zapier.

### Pricing

You pay per hotel returned, see the pricing tab. Searches that return no hotels cost nothing.

### Limits

- Google shows about 18 to 20 hotels on the first result page of a search. For more hotels in a
  big city, run several searches by district, e.g. `hotels in Montmartre`, `hotels in Le Marais`.
- Searches around a landmark (`hotels near the Eiffel Tower`) return a map view on Google without
  a hotel list. Use the district name instead.
- Prices are what Google shows for the given dates and guests. They can differ from the final
  price on the booking site (taxes, fees, room type).

### FAQ

**Do I need a Google account or API key?** No.

**Which proxy should I use?** The default Apify datacenter proxy works. Change it only if you
see repeated failures.

**How fresh are the prices?** Every run fetches live data from Google Hotels.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

One search per line. A plain city like "Paris" becomes "hotels in Paris". Districts work too, e.g. "hotels in Manhattan" or "boutique hotels in Lisbon". Searches around a landmark ("near ...") return no list on Google.

## `checkIn` (type: `string`):

Arrival date. Leave empty for tomorrow.

## `checkOut` (type: `string`):

Departure date. Leave empty for one night after check-in.

## `adults` (type: `integer`):

Number of adult guests.

## `currency` (type: `string`):

Three-letter currency code for prices, e.g. USD, EUR, GBP.

## `language` (type: `string`):

Google language code (hl), e.g. en, de, fr.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Google country code (gl), e.g. us, de, gb. Affects which offers Google shows.

## `maxResultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`):

Google shows about 18 to 20 hotels on the first result page. Split big cities into districts or neighborhoods to get more.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify datacenter proxy works well for Google Hotels.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [
    "Paris",
    "hotels in Manhattan"
  ],
  "adults": 2,
  "currency": "USD",
  "language": "en",
  "country": "us",
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `hotels` (type: `string`):

All scraped hotels in the default dataset, overview view.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchQueries": [
        "Paris",
        "hotels in Manhattan"
    ],
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("tplugge/google-hotels-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchQueries": [
    "Paris",
    "hotels in Manhattan"
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}' |
apify call tplugge/google-hotels-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,tplugge/google-hotels-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
