## Run it

From code, with a Fous API key in `FOUS_API_KEY`; the answer's `data` holds the output:

```bash
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"method":"google.com/get_hotel_reviews","input":{"city":"New York","hotel_name":"The Plaza"}}'
```

From an AI agent connected to the Fous MCP server: its `run` with the same method and input. To connect one, give it `set up https://fous.com/SKILL.md`.

## Ask your agent

- Pull the latest 30 guest reviews for the Fairmont Royal York in Toronto from Google Hotels, sorted newest first.
- What are people saying about the Hotel Arts Barcelona? I'd like its overall star rating, how many reviews it has, and how guests rate things like cleanliness and location.
- Grab the most relevant reviews for The Langham in Chicago, around 15 of them, with reviewer names, star ratings, and dates.
- Check Google for reviews of the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore. Give me the 50 newest, plus the address and total review count.
- I'm thinking of booking the Ace Hotel in New Orleans. Show me 10 recent guest reviews and the topic ratings so I can see whether noise or service comes up as a complaint.
