ScrapingBee/google-hotels-api
Automate scraping hotel data including pricing, availability, ratings, and booking providers with a Google Hotels API integration.
This is a README-only repo from ScrapingBee promoting their paid Google Hotels scraping API — there's no code here, just curl/Python/Node snippets showing how to call ScrapingBee's hosted endpoint. It's for someone who wants a managed API to pull Google Hotels pricing and availability data without building their own scraper.
The request/response examples are concrete and copy-pasteable, covering date/guest parameters, currency/locale targeting, and a realistic JSON shape for hotel results with nested booking providers. It's honest that Google Hotels scraping is genuinely hard (JS rendering, CAPTCHAs, dynamic pricing) rather than pretending it's trivial.
There is no actual code in the repository — the directory tree is just README.md, so 'implementation' means calling a third-party paid API, not an open-source scraper you can run or modify. Every meaningful capability (proxy rotation, CAPTCHA handling, JS rendering, parsing) lives behind ScrapingBee's closed service, so this is API documentation dressed up as a GitHub project, and the repo exists to drive signups rather than to be forked or contributed to. No license file, no tests, no error-handling code beyond a bullet list of HTTP status codes.
