## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Booking.com Hotels Scraper — prices, review scores & availability

Search Booking.com like a traveller — destination, dates, guests, rooms — and get every property in
the results with its **price per night and stay total**, review score, word and count, star rating,
distance from the centre, address, recommended room type, bed info, breakfast, free-cancellation and
no-prepayment flags, image and URL.

Runs a real browser on residential IPs, so Booking.com's connection check is handled for you.

### Input

| Field | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `destination` | `Austin` | City, region, landmark or hotel name |
| `checkIn` / `checkOut` | 30 days out, 2 nights | `YYYY-MM-DD`; prices need dates |
| `adults` / `rooms` / `children` | 2 / 1 / 0 | |
| `currency` | `USD` | ISO code |
| `sortBy` | `popularity` | `price`, `review_score_and_price`, `class`, `distance_from_search` |
| `maxItems` | `10` | 25 per page, up to ~1,000 per search |

### Output

```json
{
  "name": "Holiday Inn Austin Midtown by IHG",
  "url": "https://www.booking.com/hotel/us/holiday-inn-austin-midtown.html",
  "imageUrl": "https://cf.bstatic.com/xdata/images/hotel/square240/….webp",

  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-07T03:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Use cases

Hotel rate monitoring and rate parity checks, market pricing by destination and date, competitor
benchmarking for hotels and property managers, and travel deal tracking.

### Notes

- Prices are what Booking.com shows for the search, taxes and fees as displayed for the selected
  currency and country.
- `stars` is filled only when Booking.com shows a star rating on the result card, which it does not for every market or property type.
- The start fee reflects a browser session; properties are priced per record.

# 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 = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("velvety_bedbug/booking-hotels-search-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);
});

# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("velvety_bedbug/booking-hotels-search-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call velvety_bedbug/booking-hotels-search-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,velvety_bedbug/booking-hotels-search-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).
