## 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

### What does Airbnb Reviews Scraper do?

Airbnb Reviews Scraper will enable you to extract reviews data from Airbnb by using direct room URLs. You can scrape review text, review date, review rating and more.

### Why scrape Airbnb?

Airbnb has millions of users and is a popular platform for finding accommodation and travel experiences. Scraping reviews from Airbnb can provide valuable insights for businesses in the hospitality industry, market researchers, and travel enthusiasts.

Here are just some of the ways you could use that data:

- Analyzing trends in guest satisfaction
- Monitoring competitor performance
- Identifying popular destinations and properties
- Generating sentiment analysis reports

### How much will it cost to scrape Airbnb?

echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/12937"
    }
  ],

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,tri_angle/airbnb-reviews-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).
