Expedia Hotels & Cars Scraper

Scrape live data from Expedia — hotel listings, full property details, guest reviews, car rental offers, and detailed car offer breakdowns.

Each actor run executes one scrape type with its own set of parameters. Results are pushed to the Apify dataset, with one item per hotel/review/car offer.

How to find regionId: Run the actor once with any regionId to see results, or use the /suggest endpoint on the RapidAPI to look up a region by name.

Recommended workflow:

1. Run without hotelFilters to see the available_filters item in the output.
2. Copy values from available_filters into hotelFilters and rerun.

Output Views in Apify Console

The dataset schema defines 5 views — one per scrape type. Switch between views in the Output tab:

• Hotel Search Results — property_id, name, stars, price, rating, neighborhood, image
• Hotel Details — property_id, name, stars, address, amenities, rooms_and_rates
• Hotel Reviews — reviewer, rating, title, text, traveler_type, date
• Car Search Results — category, description, vendor, daily rate, total, token
• Car Offer Details — token, vehicle, price_breakdown, pickup, dropoff, cancellation

---

Notes

• Car search results include car_offer_token in detailsContext.carOfferToken. Use this with CAR_DETAILS for full details.
• For hotel search, the final dataset item always has is_metadata: true and contains available_filters.
• Car availability is geo-restricted; the actor automatically retries with euro.expedia.net if the primary domain returns no results.
• Increase maxResults for larger datasets (each additional result costs compute time).
