## 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
## Visitrome Category Scraper
### Introduction
The Visitrome Category Scraper is a powerful Apify Actor designed to extract comprehensive accommodation data from Visitrome, a leading tourism platform for Rome. It efficiently scrapes hotel listings, including details like names, locations, ratings, and booking links, enabling users to gather valuable insights for travel planning, market research, and business intelligence. This tool ensures reliable, structured data extraction with minimal setup, making it ideal for developers and analysts seeking high-quality tourism data.
### Features
- **Comprehensive Data Extraction**: Scrapes detailed accommodation information including names, descriptions, prices, ratings, and geolocation data.
- **High Reliability**: Built on Apify's CheerioCrawler for robust web scraping with error handling and retry mechanisms.
- **Structured Output**: Delivers data in clean JSON format, ready for integration into databases, analytics tools, or applications.
- **Customizable Limits**: Allows users to set maximum requests per crawl to control data volume and avoid rate limits.
- **Fast Performance**: Optimized for speed, processing multiple pages efficiently without overloading target servers.
- **Booking Integration**: Includes direct links to Agoda and Booking.com for seamless reservation access.
- **Scalable**: Suitable for small queries or large-scale data collection across Rome's accommodation categories.
### Input Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|---------|
| maxRequestsPerCrawl | integer | No | Maximum number of requests that can be made by this crawler. Helps control the scope of the crawl to prevent excessive data extraction. | 100 |
### Example Usage
To run the Visitrome Category Scraper, provide the input parameters in JSON format. Here's an example:
```json
{
"maxRequestsPerCrawl": 50
}
```
This will limit the crawl to 50 requests. The Actor will then scrape accommodation data and output it as a JSON array. An example output snippet is shown below:
```json

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).
