# Tracked hotels and dates for price history

**Use case:** 

Lists the hotel ids and stay dates the Actor tracks: the hotels and dates that history mode can return snapshots for. It makes no request to Google and charges only the $0.005 start fee. The list is written to the run's key-value store record TRACKED_HOTELS, not to the dataset, so the Overview table stays empty; open the run's Storage tab, then the key-value store, to see it.

## Input

```json
{
  "mode": "tracked",
  "searches": [
    {
      "destination": "Lisbon",
      "adults": 2,
      "rooms": 1
    }
  ],
  "hotels": [
    "ChgImbOjsv3Q9UkaDS9nLzExcnE5NTAxZmoQAQ"
  ],
  "dates": {
    "checkIn": "2027-03-10",
    "checkOut": "2027-03-12"

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Google Hotels Scraper: Prices, Vendor Rates, History](https://apify.com/yappman/google-hotels-prices.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/yappman/google-hotels-prices.md

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`).
