📢 Booking Ads Scraper

❓ What is this scraper?

This scraper extracts structured advertisement data from Booking.com's Ad Repository — a transparency tool that allows users to explore active accommodation advertisements served across the European Union.

The extracted data is normalized into a structured format, making it easy to use for analysis, competitive research, compliance monitoring, or storage.

⚡ Why this scraper?

Booking.com's Ad Repository provides rich, structured information about active hotel and accommodation advertisements. This scraper allows you to:

• Discover active ads by legal entity or ad name
• Build datasets of advertisement metadata and view statistics
• Analyze ad reach across European countries
• Track how long ads have been running and their view buckets
• Monitor competitor advertising activity at scale

📥 Input

There are two ways to provide input. Start URLs take priority — if provided, all individual filter fields are ignored.

Option 1 — Start URLs (Priority)

Provide one or more Booking.com Ad Repository URLs directly. This is the recommended approach when you already have a specific search URL.

{
  "maxItems": 20,
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.booking.com/ad-repository/search.en-gb.html?date_from=2026-03-01&date_to=2026-06-11&ad_name=&legal_entity=derbysoft"
    }
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}

Option 2 — Individual Filter Fields (Fallback)

If no startUrls are provided, the scraper builds the search URL from the individual fields below. dateFrom and dateTo are required in this case.

{
  "maxItems": 20,
  "dateFrom": "2026-05-01",
  "dateTo": "2026-05-02",
  "adName": "",
  "legalEntity": "derbysoft",
  "page": "1",
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
