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.

Each field provides specific details about the review, enabling comprehensive analysis. ### Rate Limiting and Best Practices - **Rate Limiting**: Ensure compliance with IHG's terms of service to avoid IP blocking. - **Best Practices**: Use appropriate delays between requests and respect robots.txt files. ### Error Handling Information The spider logs errors encountered during execution. Common issues include invalid URLs or network timeouts. Review the log for detailed error messages and adjust configurations accordingly. ### Limitations and Considerations - Ensure all input URLs are valid and accessible. - Be aware of potential changes in IHG's website structure that may affect scraping accuracy. - The spider does not handle CAPTCHA challenges automatically. ### Support For custom/simplified outputs or bug reports, please contact: - Email: support@getdataforme.com - Subject line: "custom support" - Contact form: [Get Data For Me](https://getdataforme.com/contact/) We're here to help you get the most out of this Actor! # Actor input Schema ## `StartDate` (type: `string`): The start date for the spider. ## `EndDate` (type: `string`): The end date for the spider. ## `Urls` (type: `array`): The urls for the spider. ## `ItemLimit` (type: `string`): The item limit for the spider. ## Actor input object example ```json { "StartDate": "2026-01-01", "EndDate": "2026-05-15", "Urls": [ "https://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress/hotels/us/en/andalusia/aadal/hoteldetail/hotel-reviews" ] } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.

Go to → https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs/quick-start ``` ## CLI example ```bash echo '{}' | apify call getdataforme/ihg-reviews-pro-extractor --silent --output-dataset ``` ## MCP server setup ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,getdataforme/ihg-reviews-pro-extractor" } } } ``` 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 ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/8306LnNaQht6qyjLd/builds/gMZAEW7Vhpu9PgcO4/openapi.json
