❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. How do I get started with Google Hotels Scraper?

Simply provide a q (search query) parameter with your search term and check_in_date / check_out_date, then run the Actor. The scraper will automatically extract hotel data and return structured JSON results.

Q2. Do I need to provide both q and property_token?

No, you only need to provide one of them:

• Use q for location-based searches (e.g., "hotels in Paris")
• Use property_token to fetch detailed information about a specific property

Q3. Are check-in and check-out dates required?

When using a search query (q), check-in and check-out dates are recommended for best results. The API may work without them, but results are typically more accurate with dates. When using property_token, dates are optional.

Q4. Can I filter results by price range?

Yes! Use the min_price and max_price parameters to filter hotels within your desired price range. Both parameters accept strings (e.g., "100" or "299.99"). Set to "0.00" (the default) to remove the price limit. Prices are in the currency specified by the currency parameter.

Q5. What star ratings can I filter by?

You can filter by star ratings 1 through 5. Use the stars parameter with a comma-separated list (e.g., "3,4,5" for 3, 4, or 5 star hotels).

Q6. How do I search for vacation rentals?

Set vacation_rentals to true and optionally use rental_type, bedrooms, and bathrooms to filter vacation rentals. See the Vacation Rental Property Types section for available rental types.

Q7. What amenities can I filter by?

See the Amenity IDs section above for a complete list. Common amenities include Free Wi-Fi (35), Air-conditioned (40), Pool (6), Free parking (1), and Pet-friendly (19).

Q8. How does pagination work?

The scraper automatically handles pagination using next_page_token. Set max_pages to control how many pages to fetch:

• max_pages: 1 (default) - Fetch only the first page
• max_pages: 5 - Fetch up to 5 pages
• max_pages: 0 - Fetch all available pages (no limit)

Each page is charged separately.

Q9. Can I search in different countries and languages?

Yes! Use the gl (country code) and hl (language code) parameters for localization. Also set currency to get prices in the local currency.

Q10. How do I get detailed information about a specific property?

Use the property_token parameter with a token obtained from search results. This returns comprehensive property details including all amenities, images, reviews, and essential information.

Q11. What data format does the scraper return?

The scraper returns structured JSON data with hotel details, prices, ratings, amenities, and metadata. Results are automatically cleaned and validated for schema compliance.

Q12. Can I export the data?

Yes! Results are stored in Apify's dataset format and can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, or accessed via API.

Q13. What happens if I specify children but no ages?

If children > 0, you must provide children_ages with the same number of ages as children. For example, if children: 2, provide children_ages: "5,8" for two children aged 5 and 8.

Q14. Can I filter by both hotels and vacation rentals?

When vacation_rentals is false (default), only hotels are returned. When vacation_rentals is true, only vacation rentals are returned. You cannot get both in a single search, but you can run two separate searches.

---

📝 Technical Notes

• Results are sorted by relevance by default (Google Hotels API default)
• The check_in_date must be today or in the future (cannot be in the past)
• The check_out_date must be after check_in_date
• When children > 0, children_ages is required and must have the same number of values as children
• Child ages must be integers between 0 and 17
• Price filters (min_price, max_price) must be provided as strings (e.g., "50" or "99.99"). They are validated using regex pattern ^\d+(\.\d+)?$ and converted to integers for the API. Setting to "0.00" (the default) removes that price limit.
• Guest rating (guest_rating) must be provided as a string (e.g., "4.0" or "4.5"). Setting to "0.0" (the default) removes the rating filter.
• Property type and amenity IDs must match the type of search (hotel vs. vacation rental)
• Filters are typically only included on the first page of results
• Each page is pushed as a separate dataset item for accurate per-page billing
• Results are automatically cleaned and validated to ensure JSON-serializable output
• The max_pages parameter controls how many pages to fetch. Set to 0 for no limit (fetch all available pages)
• Property tokens can be obtained from the property_token field in search results

⚠️ Common Validation Errors

• Invalid Amenity ID 2: Amenity ID 2 does not exist in the Google Hotels API. The amenity IDs jump from 1 (Free parking) directly to 3 (Parking). Use "amenities": "1,3" instead of "amenities": "1,2,3".
• hotel_class with vacation_rentals: The hotel_class parameter is not allowed when vacation_rentals is set to true. Remove hotel_class from your request when searching for vacation rentals, or set vacation_rentals to false when using hotel_class.
