## 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

## Royal Caribbean Cruise Intelligence & Fare Monitor

A direct, deterministic Royal Caribbean scraper for Apify. It reads Royal Caribbean's public cruise-search GraphQL response and emits one record per sailing.

### What it returns

- Stable cruise and sailing IDs
- Departure and return dates, duration and availability
- Ship, destination, embarkation port and ports of call
- Interior, ocean-view, balcony and suite prices when available
- Currency and lowest available price
- Full day-by-day itinerary with arrival and departure times
- Main itinerary image, ship image, route map and booking URL
- UTC observation timestamp

The Actor refreshes Royal Caribbean's current destination, departure-port, ship and special-sailing codes at runtime. Empty filters are omitted. Results are expanded to individual sailings and deduplicated by sailing\_id.

### Fare monitoring

Every run stores its latest snapshot in the named royal-caribbean-price-history key-value store. PRICE\_CHANGES in the run's default key-value store reports price increases, decreases, sold-out categories and categories that became available. Use an Apify schedule and run-finished webhook for alerts.

### Input

Use the Apify form or JSON. Dates use YYYY-MM-DD. sailing\_to must not precede sailing\_from; night ranges and result limits are validated before any request.

The public cruise-search source currently returns USD in the verified flow. Other sales markets are intentionally not exposed until their locale/session flow can be verified.

### Pricing

The Actor is prepared for Apify pay-per-event pricing at **$0.25 per 1,000 sailing records** ($0.00025 per record). A record is charged only when it is successfully written to the default dataset, and Apify's maximum-cost-per-run limit is respected. Private and free development runs remain compatible until pay-per-event monetization is enabled in Apify Console.

# 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("worldly_fuel/royal-caribbean-cruise-intelligence").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# 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("worldly_fuel/royal-caribbean-cruise-intelligence").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call worldly_fuel/royal-caribbean-cruise-intelligence --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,worldly_fuel/royal-caribbean-cruise-intelligence"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
