## 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.

| `proxyConfiguration` | Proxy | — | **Residential proxy required** (see below) |

### Proxy requirement

**Residential proxy is required.** Expedia blocks all datacenter IPs with a 429 Too Many Requests error.

Set `proxyConfiguration` to use Apify Residential proxy:

```json
{
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
  "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
}
```

Apify Residential proxy is available on all paid Apify plans. This is standard for any serious Expedia scraper — actors that claim to work without residential proxy will fail silently or return empty results.

### Example input

```json
{
  "location": ["Atlanta, Georgia", "Miami, Florida"],
  "checkIn": "2026-08-01",
  "checkOut": "2026-08-03",
  "resultsWanted": 100,
  "amenities": ["hot_tub"],
  "sort": "GUEST_RATING",
  "minStars": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  }
}
```

### Example output

```json
{
  "hotel_id": "12345678",
  "name": "Hilton Atlanta",
  "star_rating": 4,
  "guest_rating": 8.6,
  "review_count": 3241,
  "nightly_price": 159,
  "total_price": 318,
  "free_cancellation": true,
  "property_url": "https://www.expedia.com/Atlanta-Hotels-Hilton-Atlanta.h12345678.Hotel-Information",
  "city": "Atlanta",
  "neighborhood": "Downtown Atlanta",
  "latitude": 33.7588,
  "longitude": -84.3877,
  "amenities": ["Free WiFi", "Pool", "Fitness Center", "Restaurant"],
  "amenity_ids": ["free_wifi", "pool", "gym", "restaurant"],
  "image_url": "https://images.trvl-media.com/...",
  "location_searched": "Atlanta, Georgia",
  "check_in": "2026-08-01",
  "check_out": "2026-08-03"
}
```

### How it works

Uses Puppeteer with stealth mode (puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth) running in headful mode via Xvfb on Apify's infrastructure. Navigates Expedia's hotel search page, clicks amenity filter buttons in the actual UI, then intercepts `PropertyListingQuery` GraphQL responses directly. Property star ratings are extracted from the rendered DOM. Supports automatic scroll-based pagination to retrieve up to 200+ hotels per city.

### Use cases

- Hotel market research and competitive analysis
- Travel price monitoring and aggregation
- Lead generation for hospitality businesses
- Building hotel databases with ratings, amenities, and pricing
- Filtering hotels by specific amenities (hot tubs, pools, gyms) for niche travel sites
