Tips

• Residential proxy recommended -- For the most reliable results from datacenter environments, use a residential proxy. The scraper may work without proxy from residential IPs
• Check-in and check-out required -- Expedia requires dates to show hotel search results with pricing
• Results per load -- Expedia loads 3-10 hotel cards at a time. The scraper scrolls to load more, up to your maxItems limit
• Destination format -- Use common location names like "New York", "London, UK", or "Tokyo, Japan". The scraper handles URL encoding automatically

FAQ

How many hotels can I scrape? Expedia loads hotels progressively as you scroll. The scraper scrolls up to 8 times to load more results. Typical yields are 20-50 hotels per search, depending on the destination.

Do I need login credentials? No. The scraper uses public Expedia hotel search pages that don't require authentication.

Why do I need check-in and check-out dates? Expedia requires travel dates to display hotel search results with pricing. Without dates, the search may not return results.

What proxy should I use? Residential proxies work best. Datacenter IPs may be blocked by Expedia's bot detection. Try without a proxy first if running locally.

Why are some fields empty? Not all hotel cards display every field. For example, some hotels may not show a neighborhood, description, or rating. Empty strings are returned instead of null values.

What destinations are supported? Any destination that Expedia supports -- cities, regions, neighborhoods, airports, and landmarks worldwide.

How does the scraper handle bot detection? The scraper uses Patchright (an undetected browser automation library) with headless=False to bypass Expedia's PerimeterX bot detection.
