Viator & GetYourGuide Tours Scraper

What this Actor scrapes

Two major tours-and-activities platforms, unified into one Pydantic-validated schema:

1. Viator — viator.com/searchResults/all?text=<query> (server-rendered HTML, 24 cards per page, data-automation test attributes) 2. GetYourGuide — getyourguide.com/s/?q=<query> (Vue.js shell with SSR card content, 24 cards per page) 3. Klook *(v2 upgrade — currently returns 0 rows)* — klook.com/search/?keyword=<query> is gated by a JS challenge that requires full browser execution. Documented as a future upgrade behind Camoufox; v1 returns [] with a WARNING.

What we handle for you

• Two platforms, one schema — drop the dataset straight into a spreadsheet or BI tool; no per-platform normalization required.
• We rotate browser fingerprints — curl-cffi impersonates Chrome 131 / Chrome 124 / Firefox 147 at the TLS+HTTP/2 layer, so both platforms see real-browser traffic, not Python.
• We retry with exponential backoff — 408 / 429 / 503 responses trigger up to 5 attempts with doubling delays; Retry-After headers are honoured.
• We rotate proxy exits on every block — BUYPROXIES94952 (a static US datacenter pack) is on by default; a fresh session_id and fresh exit IP are issued on every block.
• Per-platform isolation — one platform's failure does not abort the run; surviving platforms still produce data.
• Currency-aware — symbol-to-ISO mapping (€/$/£/¥ → EUR/USD/GBP/JPY); price_usd is populated only when the platform itself displays USD.
• Duration parser handles ranges — "5 to 9 hours" → 7.0 (midpoint); "30 minutes" → 0.5; "1 day" → 24.0.
• Pydantic v2 validation — input and every output row are model-validated; invalid input fails fast with a clear error before any network call.
• Clean dataset rows — ISO-8601 timestamps, stable platform IDs, no half-parsed strings.
• Configurable cap — maxPerPlatform lets you cap each platform at 1–100 rows per run.

Use cases

• Tour operator competitive intelligence — find every activity your competitors list in your destination, compare prices, ratings, and durations side-by-side.
• OTA cross-platform analyst dashboards — feed a BI tool with snapshots of how Viator and GetYourGuide each rank the same destination.
• Dynamic pricing strategy — track how the same activity type is priced on each platform over time and adjust your own listings accordingly.
• Destination intelligence reports — schedule weekly runs for "Paris" or "Tokyo" into a named dataset and chart price drift.
• Travel-blogger affiliate research — surface high-rating, high-review-count activities for destination guides without manual browsing.
• Inbound-tour-builder market research — discover which experiences dominate the first-page results when entering a new destination.
• Travel-tech investor diligence — benchmark the top-of-funnel pricing across the experience-booking layer of the travel stack.

Input

Paste this into the Apify Console, or send it as the run input over the API. Proxy settings are on by default; you rarely need to touch them.

{
  "locationQuery": "Paris",
  "platforms": [],
  "maxPerPlatform": 20,
  "useProxy": true
}

Output

One row per result, schema-validated before it is written. Export JSON, CSV, Excel or XML from the run, or read it over the API.

Pricing

You pay only for results that land. Cap any run with maxTotalChargeUsd. See pricing & billing for worked examples.

Limitations

• Klook returns 0 rows in v1 — the search endpoint is gated by a JS challenge that curl-cffi cannot clear without a full browser. We document this up front and ship without it rather than over-promise; v2 will add a Camoufox path behind a feature flag.
• First page only — no pagination across multiple result pages. Each platform returns ~20–24 cards on the first page; the default cap is 20.
• No detail-page scraping — we scrape the search-results surface only. Itineraries, photo galleries, availability calendars, and meeting points are out of scope for v1.
• Currency follows the platform's display — price_usd is populated only when the platform itself displays USD. We do not run our own FX conversion.
• Search relevance is the platform's — "Paris" can include cards for Versailles or nearby destinations, depending on each platform's relevance engine.
• Datacenter proxy by default — BUYPROXIES94952 is a small static US datacenter pack, not residential; it works at our scale for these targets.
