How to switch

In the Apify Store

1. Open arcadium/hotel-reputation and sign in to Apify.
2. On the Input tab, switch the editor to JSON and paste the input you used for maxcopell/tripadvisor-reviews, without the fields listed above as not read.
3. Start the run. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options if you want a hard cap.

Over the API

Change the actor ID in the URL from maxcopell~tripadvisor-reviews to arcadium~hotel-reputation; the body stays the same apart from the fields this actor does not read.

  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

In n8n

In the Apify node, change the actor to arcadium/hotel-reputation and keep the input JSON. With an HTTP Request node:

{
  "nodes": [
    {
      "name": "Run arcadium/hotel-reputation",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest",

        }
      }
    }

From an AI assistant (MCP)

Add the actor as a tool on Apify’s MCP server; an agent can pass the same input fields.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=arcadium/hotel-reputation",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}
