Expedia Hotels Scraper

What is Expedia Hotels Scraper?

Expedia Hotels Scraper extracts Expedia.com hotel search results for a destination and dates, or for a Hotel-Search URL you already built, and returns one dataset row per hotel. Each row has the hotel name, nightly price, total stay price, strikethrough price, star class, guest rating and label, review count, neighborhood, coordinates, lead image, free-cancellation flag, result position and property URL. Travel analysts, revenue managers, travel-tech builders and AI travel assistants use it to compare rates and quality across a city for specific dates, with filters for stars, guest rating, price and free cancellation.

Best fit for this Actor

• Designed for search-result pages. Use it when the question is "which hotels show up for this place and these dates, and at what price".
• Two ways to start. Give a destination with checkIn and checkOut, or paste full Expedia Hotel-Search URLs in startUrls.
• Filters before billing. minStarRating, minGuestRating, minPrice, maxPrice and freeCancellationOnly drop hotels before they are saved, and filtered hotels add no events.
• Automatic paging. The Actor pages through results until it reaches maxResults, and dedupes hotels by ID.
• Cross-site price checks. When you want the same city priced on another site, then run Hotels.com Scraper with the same destination and dates and compare by hotel name.
• Guest feedback next. For reviews on the hotels you shortlisted, continue with Tripadvisor Reviews Scraper.

Workflow example: weekly rate monitoring for a hotel group

A revenue manager starts with the group's home city as destination, a fixed two-night window, minStarRating set to 4 and maxResults at 100. The dataset returns each competing hotel's pricePerNight, totalPrice, guestRating, reviewCount and position. The manager exports the rows to the pricing sheet, compares the group's own properties with the competitive set, and schedules the same input weekly so rate changes by hotelId show up between exports.

How to scrape Expedia hotels

1. Type a Destination the way you would on Expedia, and set Check-in and Check-out dates (they default to a two-night stay two weeks out).
2. Set guests, rooms, Max results and any filters.
3. Click Start, then export the dataset or read it through the API.

When a request returns no hotels, the dataset holds one free diagnostic row with hotelId set to diagnostic and a _warnings note, so scripts and agents can tell it apart from a hotel record at a glance.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event plus Apify platform usage. Two events apply: Actor start once per run, and Hotel scraped once per hotel row returned. Hotels removed by your filters and the diagnostic row add no hotel events. For example, a city search with maxResults set to 50 creates up to 50 Hotel scraped events plus one Actor start event, plus the platform usage for the run, including residential proxy traffic. The live Pricing tab on this page shows the current event prices.

Use with AI agents through Apify MCP

Connect this Actor to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client through Apify MCP, then ask:

Find up to 20 hotels in Lisbon, Portugal for November 12 to 14 with at least 4 stars and a guest rating of 8 or higher. Sort by nightly price and give me name, price per night, total, rating and the Expedia link.

Agent checklist:

1. Set destination, both dates and maxResults; the cap sets the cost ceiling.
2. Add filters such as minStarRating, minGuestRating or maxPrice so only matching hotels are billed.
3. Read rows with get-dataset-items, keep rows where recordType is hotel and hotelId is a property ID, and cite propertyUrl.
4. Read _warnings on a diagnostic row and suggest a fresh run with Residential proxy.

Best results

Starting situation	Helpful action	Expected outcome
Any Expedia run	Keep the preset Residential proxy	Steady access to result pages
Budget research	Use sortBy: "priceLowToHigh" with maxPrice	Lowest-priced hotels first
Quality shortlist	Set minStarRating and minGuestRating	Only hotels that meet both bars
A complex search with Expedia filters	Build it on Expedia and paste the URL in startUrls	Exactly the search you configured
Rate tracking	Schedule fixed dates and compare pricePerNight by hotelId	A price history per property
Flexible travel plans	Set freeCancellationOnly to true	Hotels advertising free cancellation

Builder's note

I built this for rate comparison, so each row is one hotel with both the nightly and total price for the exact dates you asked about. I learned that filters matter most when they run before billing, which is why star, rating, price and cancellation filters drop hotels before anything is saved. My goal was a dataset that is easy to diff week over week, which is why every row carries its hotelId and position.

FAQ

Which Expedia site does it read?

Expedia.com search results, priced as Expedia.com shows them. currency labels the output.

Can I get a single hotel's reviews?

This Actor reads search result pages. For reviews, pass the hotel names to Tripadvisor Reviews Scraper.

Are hotels charged twice across pages?

No. Hotels are deduplicated by hotelId, so each property is one event.

What does a diagnostic row mean?

The request returned no hotels. It is free, and its _warnings note explains the next step.
