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 ## Urlaubspiraten Deals Scraper Extract structured German travel deal data from Urlaubspiraten.de for price monitoring, affiliate research, travel-market analysis, and AI workflows. This Actor turns curated vacation offers into clean JSON/CSV-ready records with prices, categories, images, destination data, and outbound deal links. ### Who is this for? - Travel deal publishers tracking competitor offers. - Affiliate and performance-marketing teams analyzing deal categories and CTA destinations. - Travel-tech teams building price alerts, dashboards, or deal discovery tools. - Analysts collecting German vacation offer data for market research. - AI teams building RAG datasets from travel-deal content. ### Key Features - Scrapes public Urlaubspiraten.de listing pages and category paths. - Parses server-side rendered Apollo hydration data from HTML. - Handles pagination with `?page=N`. - Supports homepage and category URLs such as `/reisen`, `/pauschalreisen`, `/last-minute`, and `/kreuzfahrten`. - Respects `maxItems` and `maxPages` limits. - Deduplicates deals by URL, slug, or entry ID. - Extracts prices, titles, subtitles, categories, images, dates, destinations, origins, and CTA links. - Uses German localization headers to keep results in the German market. - Supports Apify Proxy configuration for production reliability. - Exports clean records to JSON, CSV, Excel, API, or automation workflows through Apify datasets. ### How it Works 1. Enter one or more Urlaubspiraten.de listing URLs or category paths and choose your limits. 2. Run the Actor on Apify. 3. Download structured results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect the dataset to your API, webhook, or automation pipeline. ### Input Example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.urlaubspiraten.de/" } ], "categoryPaths": ["reisen", "pauschalreisen", "last-minute", "kreuzfahrten"], "maxItems": 100, "maxPages": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` ### Output Sample (JSON format) ```json { "entryId": "6CkoMND5SWvMMfDgc7gyDp", "title": "Ausgezeichneter SPA-Bereich 🏆", "subtitle": "2 Nächte im 4*Superior Spa-Resort im Teutoburger Wald (NRW) inkl. Frühstück & 1x Abendessen", "url": "https://www.urlaubspiraten.de/hotels/graeflicher-park-health-balance-resort-bad-driburg", "slug": "graeflicher-park-health-balance-resort-bad-driburg", "category": { "title": "Unterkunft", "slug": "hotels", "url": "https://www.urlaubspiraten.de/hotels", "icon": "https://media.holidaypirates.group/icons/v2/categories/hotel.svg" }, "pricing": { "prefix": "Ab", "amount": "199 €", "suffix": "p.

Enable Apify Proxy if your runs encounter blocking. - Output depends on fields available in the SSR Apollo payload at run time. ### Local Development ```bash pnpm install pnpm test pnpm build apify run ``` # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Listing URLs to scrape. Supports homepage and category pages such as /reisen, /pauschalreisen, /last-minute, /kreuzfahrten. ## `categoryPaths` (type: `array`): Optional URL paths or full URLs to scrape in addition to start URLs. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of unique deal records to save. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Maximum listing pages to fetch via ?page=N for each start URL. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional Apify proxy configuration. Residential proxies can help if Cloudflare blocks datacenter traffic. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.urlaubspiraten.de/" } ], "categoryPaths": [ "reisen", "pauschalreisen", "last-minute", "kreuzfahrten" ], "maxItems": 100, "maxPages": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
