Google Hotels Prices Scraper

What does Google Hotels Prices Scraper do?

Google Hotels Prices Scraper collects hotel prices from the public Google Hotels pages (the hotel search at google.com/travel). You give it one or more search phrases, such as "hotels in Paris", or direct links to hotel pages, plus your travel dates, number of adults and currency. It returns one clean record per hotel.

Each record holds the nightly price Google shows for your stay and the total price. Every record also includes the list of booking sites that offer the room, each with its own price and a direct booking link, plus the hotel's address and phone number. Records also include star class, guest rating, review count, coordinates, check-in and check-out times, a short description and photos. The record also repeats your dates, currency and adult count, so you always know which stay a price belongs to.

Typical uses:

• Rate shopping and revenue management. Hotels and property managers can track what competitors charge on specific dates and see which booking sites undercut the official rate.
• Travel price comparison. Build a simple comparison view that shows, for each hotel, which booking site is cheapest for a given stay.
• Market research. Measure average prices, star-class mix and rating spread for a city or neighbourhood, then repeat the run on a schedule to watch prices move.
• Lead lists for the hospitality industry. Get hotel names, addresses, phone numbers and map coordinates for a destination in one run.
• AI agents and assistants. Let an agent answer "What is the cheapest 4-star hotel near the Louvre for 12 to 14 November?" from live data.

The Actor reads the data that Google embeds in its public pages. It does not need a Google account, cookies or any login, and it does not open a browser. That keeps runs fast and cheap. It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.

How to use Google Hotels Prices Scraper

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console and go to the Input tab.
2. In Search, type one or more search phrases, such as hotels in Paris or hotels near Times Square. You can also paste Google Hotels hotel page links into Hotel URLs to price specific properties.
3. Set Maximum hotels per query to the number of hotels you want for each phrase. Google shows about 20 hotels per results page, and the Actor pages through the results until it reaches your limit or runs out of hotels.
4. In Stay, pick the check-in and check-out dates and the number of adults. If you leave the dates empty, the Actor prices a one-night stay starting 7 days from today.
5. In Currency and language, set the currency (for example EUR) and the interface language (for example en).
6. Keep the default residential proxy in Proxy unless you have a reason to change it. Google often blocks datacenter IP addresses.
7. Click Start. When the run finishes, open the Output tab to view the results as a table, or download them as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML.

Tips:

• Every hotel page is opened, so address, phone, per-site offers and the cheapest site are included. includeOffers only controls whether the separate hotel-offers event is billed; set it to false to skip that event.
• Prices for dates far in the future, or for tomorrow in busy cities, may be missing because hotels are sold out or have not opened their rates. Those hotels are still returned, with price fields set to null, and offers is empty.
• Use one phrase per area. "hotels in Paris" and "hotels in Paris 11th arrondissement" return different sets of hotels. The Actor removes duplicate hotels within a run.
• To track prices over time, save your input as a task and run it on a schedule. Each record includes scrapedAt, checkIn and checkOut, so runs are easy to compare.

Input

Field	Type	Description
queries	array of strings	Search phrases, e.g. ["hotels in Paris"]. Provide this or hotelUrls.
hotelUrls	array of strings	Google Hotels hotel page URLs, e.g. https://www.google.com/travel/hotels/entity/ChkI....
maxItems	integer	Maximum hotels per search phrase, 1 to 1000. Default 50.
checkIn	string	Check-in date, YYYY-MM-DD. Default: 7 days from today.
checkOut	string	Check-out date, YYYY-MM-DD, 1 to 30 nights after check-in. Default: one night.
adults	integer	Number of adults, 1 to 12. Default 2.
currency	string	ISO 4217 currency code, e.g. USD, EUR, GBP. Default USD.
language	string	Google interface language, e.g. en or de. Default en.
includeOffers	boolean	Bill the hotel-offers event for hotels with page details. Hotel pages are always opened. Default false.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy settings. Default: Apify residential proxies.

The Actor checks the input before it starts. For example, a date in the wrong format, a check-out before the check-in, or a stay longer than 30 nights stops the run straight away with a clear error message instead of returning empty results.

The Output tab shows an overview table with the most useful columns: name, nightly and total price, currency, cheapest site, rating, reviews, star class, address, dates and the Google Hotels link. The full records, including all offers and photos, are available through the "All fields" view and the API.

How much does it cost to scrape Google Hotels?

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing, so you pay for the results you get rather than for server time:

You are charged per result: once for each hotel record saved to the dataset. If you turn on includeOffers, there is an additional charge for each hotel whose hotel page returned address, phone or booking-site offers. It is off by default.

The exact charges are listed on the Pricing tab of the Actor page. Apify's free plan includes monthly platform credit, which is enough to try the Actor on a few hundred hotels.

To keep costs predictable, set maxItems to the number of hotels you actually need. A run never returns more than maxItems hotels per search phrase.

Use with the API

You can run the Actor and read its results from your own code through the Apify API. Set your Apify API token (Console, Settings, API & Integrations) in the APIFY_TOKEN environment variable.

Python:

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("axiomworks/google-hotels-prices-scraper").call(run_input={
    "queries": ["hotels in Paris"],
    "maxItems": 20,
    "checkIn": "2026-11-12",
    "checkOut": "2026-11-14",
    "adults": 2,
    "currency": "USD",
})
for hotel in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(hotel["name"], hotel["pricePerNight"], hotel["cheapestProvider"])

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('axiomworks/google-hotels-prices-scraper').call({
    queries: ['hotels in Paris'],
    maxItems: 20,
    checkIn: '2026-11-12',
    checkOut: '2026-11-14',
    adults: 2,
    currency: 'USD',
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
const lines = items.map((h) => `${h.name}: ${h.pricePerNight} ${h.currency}`);
process.stdout.write(lines.join("\n"));

cURL (starts a run and returns the dataset items when it finishes):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/axiomworks~google-hotels-prices-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"queries": ["hotels in Paris"], "maxItems": 10, "currency": "USD"}'

The Actor also works with the Apify integrations for Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack and webhooks, so you can send new results to a spreadsheet or trigger an alert when a price drops.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

You can connect this Actor to AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP), such as Claude Desktop, Cursor or VS Code, through the Apify MCP server. The agent can then search Google Hotels prices on its own when you ask it a travel question.

Add this to your MCP client configuration:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=axiomworks/google-hotels-prices-scraper"
        }
    }
}

The first time you connect, you will be asked to sign in to Apify, or you can pass your Apify API token as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

Example prompts:

• "Find the 10 cheapest 4-star hotels in Barcelona for 3 to 5 December for 2 adults, in EUR, and tell me which booking site is cheapest for each."
• "Compare the price of the Novotel Suites Paris Stade de France across booking sites for 20 to 22 October."
• "List hotels near Times Square rated 4.5 or higher with their phone numbers and nightly prices for next weekend."
• "Which booking site is most often the cheapest for hotels in Rome in mid-November?"

FAQ

Why are some prices null? Google shows no price when a hotel is sold out for your dates, when it has not published rates yet, or when no booking site covers it. The hotel is still returned so you can see it exists, but pricePerNight, priceTotal and cheapestProvider are null.

Why do my prices differ slightly from what I see in my browser? Google adjusts prices and the list of booking sites by the visitor's country, device and sign-in state. The Actor uses a residential proxy, and the booking sites it sees may differ a little from yours. The currency you choose is always respected.

Are prices per night or for the whole stay? Both. pricePerNight is the nightly price and priceTotal is the price for the whole stay. With includeOffers on, both come from the cheapest offer, and each offer has its own per-night and total price. Whether taxes are included follows Google's display for the exit country.

How many hotels can I get per search? Up to 1,000 per search phrase (the maxItems limit), as long as Google has that many for the area. Google shows about 20 hotels per results page, and the Actor follows the pages for you and removes duplicates.

Can I add children? Not yet. The current version prices stays for adults only.

Does the Actor need my Google account? No. It only reads public Google Hotels pages and never logs in.

What happens if Google blocks a request? The Actor waits, switches to a new proxy session and retries. If a whole search fails after several attempts, the run ends with an error that says which search failed, instead of silently returning nothing.

Is it legal to scrape Google Hotels?

The Actor only collects publicly available information about businesses: hotel names, prices, addresses, public phone numbers and ratings. It does not collect personal data about individuals and does not access anything behind a login.

Scraping public data is generally lawful in many countries, but the rules depend on where you are and how you use the data. Google's terms of service restrict automated access to its services, and Google's robots.txt disallows crawling of its travel search pages. You are responsible for making sure your use of the data complies with the laws that apply to you and with any agreements you have accepted. If you are unsure, ask a lawyer. Do not use the data to mislead customers, and respect the trademarks of Google and the booking sites.
