## 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.

  "minReviewCount": 200
}
```

    A --> C[bestseller<br/>Viator badge]
    A --> D[new_listing<br/>under 10 reviews]
    A --> E[skip_the_line]
    A --> F[budget / premium<br/>$20 / $200+]
```

Each row has a `flags` array so pipelines filter without parsing titles.

***

### FAQ

**Do I need a Viator API key?**
No. The actor reads public Viator pages.

**Can I track price changes over time?**
Yes. Set `dedupe: false` and schedule every 60 minutes. Each run writes a fresh snapshot with a `scrapedAt` timestamp.

**Which cities are covered?**
Every Viator city (2500+). Paste any destination URL.

**How is price extracted?**
Viator shows a from price per tour. The actor returns `priceFrom` in the page currency (usually USD).

**Does Viator block scrapers?**
Viator runs Cloudflare. The actor ships with residential proxy enabled by default. If you run at high volume and see 403s, rotate proxy groups or lower concurrency.

**Is pulling Viator allowed?**
This actor reads the same public HTML a browser sees. Respect the site's terms of service and rate limit sensibly.

## `maxItemsPerSource` (type: `integer`):

Per destination or per query cap on rows pushed. Each destination page typically has 30 to 50 featured tours.

## `maxItemsTotal` (type: `integer`):

## `dedupe` (type: `boolean`):

Skip product codes pushed on previous runs. Stored in the key value store under SEEN\_IDS. Turn off to track price changes over time.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "destinationUrls": [
    "https://www.viator.com/Paris/d479-ttd"
  ]
}' |
apify call scrapemint/viator-tours-tracker --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

    }
}

```

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 <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
