## 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

## Google Hotels Scraper

Scrapes structured Google Travel hotel results with entity IDs, ratings, review counts, prices, property types, amenities, images, cancellation flags, dates, guest counts, and search metadata.

### What this Actor collects

The Actor converts Google Travel hotel results into one clean JSON record per property, including entity ID, ratings and reviews, prices, property type, amenities, images, cancellation flags, stay dates, guests, and search provenance when available.

- Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
- Stores source-backed fields defined by the 42-field dataset schema.
- Omits optional fields when the source does not expose a value instead of writing nulls or fabricated placeholders.

### Use cases

- Accommodation research
- Rate and availability monitoring
- Travel-market analysis

### Input

Provide input in JSON. Fields marked required must be supplied. The Default / example column shows a schema default when one exists; otherwise it shows a documented prefill or fixture value.

| Field | Type | Required | Default / example | Description |
| --- | --- | :---: | --- | --- |
| `query` | string | Yes | `"hotels in Paris"` | The hotel search query to use (e.g. 'hotels in Paris', 'hotels in New York') |
| `checkIn` | string | No | — | Check-in date in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g. 2026-03-15). Leave empty to use Google's default. |
| `checkOut` | string | No | — | Check-out date in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g. 2026-03-17). Leave empty to use Google's default. |
| `guests` | integer | No | `2` | Number of guests for the hotel search |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | `20` | Maximum number of hotel results to retrieve |
| `gl` | string | No | `"us"` | Two-letter country code for localized results (e.g. 'us', 'gb', 'fr', 'in') |
| `hl` | string | No | `"en"` | Language code for the interface (e.g. 'en', 'fr', 'de', 'es') |
| `currency` | string | No | `"USD"` | Preferred three-letter currency code for hotel prices (e.g. USD, EUR, GBP, INR). Google can still localize prices to the proxy region; each result reports the displayed currency. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | `{"useApifyProxy":true,"apifyProxyGroups":["RESIDENTIAL"]}` | Proxy configuration for the scraper. Use Apify Proxy with RESIDENTIAL group for best results. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "query": "Paris",
  "maxItems": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  },
  "checkIn": "2026-08-01",
  "checkOut": "2026-08-05",
  "guests": 2,
  "gl": "us",
  "hl": "en",
  "currency": "USD"
}
```

### Output

The default dataset contains one item per hotel property result. The following are the most useful fields; rates, availability, cancellation terms, amenities, and images depend on the property and requested stay.

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `position` | integer | Position |
| `hotelName` | string | Hotel Name |
| `rating` | number | Rating |
| `reviewCount` | integer | Review Count |
| `starRating` | integer | Star Rating |
| `propertyType` | string | Property Type |
| `price` | string | Price |
| `currency` | string | Currency |
| `amenities` | array | Amenities |
| `freeCancellation` | boolean | Free Cancellation |
| `url` | string | URL |
| `checkIn` | string | Check In |
| `checkOut` | string | Check Out |
| `query` | string | Query |
| `scrapedAt` | string | Scraped At |
| `type` | string | Type |
