Skyscanner Hotels Scraper

• ✅ Cheapest live price per hotel, compared across Booking.com, Trip.com, Hotels.com, Expedia and more
• ✅ Full content enrichment — description, amenities, gallery, AI review summary
• ✅ Filter by stars, guest rating, price, property type, amenities, meal plan and free cancellation
• ✅ Relative dates ("30 days" ahead) keep scheduled price tracking current
• ✅ Sort by recommended, price, rating, distance or stars
• ✅ Clean JSON or CSV output, one row per hotel

Overview

The actor talks to Skyscanner's hotel-unified-bff mobile API, the same endpoint the Android app uses. The hotel API is a separate surface from the flights one and is not behind PerimeterX, so no token or cookie is needed. You provide a destination (an entityId, or a Skyscanner hotels URL it is read from) and optionally check-in/check-out dates; the actor runs the search, polls until results settle, pages through them 50 at a time, and returns one row per hotel with its cheapest price and booking partner, rating, images, location and optional full content.

Supported Inputs

Entity ID mode — pass entityId directly:

27544008   (London)
27539733   (Paris)
27547375   (New York)

URL mode — paste Skyscanner hotels URLs; the destination id is read from the link:

https://www.skyscanner.net/hotels/search?entity_id=27544008&checkin=2026-12-10&checkout=2026-12-12&adults=2&rooms=1
https://www.skyscanner.net/hotels/united-kingdom/london-hotels/ci-27544008
https://www.skyscanner.com/hoteles/reino-unido/londres-hoteles/cerca-pri-initiative/pl-207147685
https://www.skyscanner.net/hotels/united-kingdom/london-hotels/some-hotel/ht-129259677?search_entity_id=27544008

A hotel page (ht-…) only works when it carries search_entity_id; on its own it names a hotel, not a destination. A URL with no destination id is skipped with a warning in the log.

Required: either entityId or a usable URL in startUrls. checkIn and checkOut are optional: without them the actor searches a 2-night stay starting 30 days from today.

Use Cases

Audience	Use
Travel aggregators	Feed Skyscanner hotel prices into a comparison engine
Market researchers	Track hotel pricing and rating trends across destinations
SEO / content teams	Build destination guides with real hotel data and images
Revenue analysts	Monitor competitor pricing across OTAs in one pull
Trip planners	Pull a structured hotel shortlist for any city and date range

How It Works

1. Resolve destination — entityId is taken from input or parsed from the start URL.
2. Trigger search — POST to v1/hotelsearch with the entityId, dates and traveller context.
3. Poll until complete — repeat the call with the session token until completionPercentage hits 100.
4. Parse hotels — each hotel becomes a row with price, rating, images, partner offers, location.
5. Optional content enrichment — one batched POST to v1/content/hotel/batch adds description, amenities, full gallery and the AI review summary.

Example: London search with content

{
    "entityId": "27544008",
    "checkIn": "2026-11-15",
    "checkOut": "2026-11-18",
    "adults": 2,
    "rooms": 1,
    "maxItems": 50,
    "includeContent": true,
    "sortBy": "PRICE_LOW"
}

Example: filtered search by URL

{
    "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.skyscanner.net/hotels/search?entity_id=27544008" }],
    "checkIn": "2026-12-01",
    "checkOut": "2026-12-04",
    "minStars": 4,
    "minReviewScore": 4,
    "freeCancellationOnly": true,
    "maxPricePerNight": 200,
    "amenities": ["hotel_amenity_pool"]
}

Example: daily price tracking with relative dates

A run scheduled every day searches the same distance ahead, so the dates never go stale:

{
    "entityId": "27544008",
    "checkIn": "30 days",
    "checkOut": "32 days",
    "sortBy": "PRICE_LOW",
    "maxItems": 100
}

Output Overview

One row per hotel. Each row carries the search result (cheapest price and the partner offering it, rating, images, location) and, when includeContent is on, the full content block (description, amenities, full gallery, AI review summary with category scores). Skyscanner compares the booking partners itself and returns the hotel's cheapest offer, so partnerOffers holds that one offer.

FAQ

Where do I find an entityId? Search hotels on Skyscanner and look at the results URL: the entity_id= value is the entityId (London is 27544008). City and place pages carry it as ci-… or pl-…. You can also pass the full URL via startUrls and the actor reads it for you.

Does this scrape reviews? No. Reviews are a separate actor: memo23/skyscanner-hotel-reviews-scraper. It pulls reviews aggregated from partners such as Hotels.com, Expedia and Tripadvisor in one call.

Is there an anti-bot or token I need? No. The hotel BFF is plain JSON. The actor works out of the box with no PX token, no cookies, no browser.

Do I have to set dates? No. Without checkIn and checkOut the actor searches a 2-night stay starting 30 days from today. Dates you set are used as given; a check-in date in the past is rejected, because Skyscanner only has availability from today on.

Can a scheduled run keep searching ahead? Yes. Set relative dates such as "checkIn": "30 days" and "checkOut": "32 days" (in the Console, switch the date picker to relative). Both count from the day each run starts.

What's the difference between pricePerNight and totalPrice? pricePerNight is the per-night rate; totalPrice is the full stay total (nights × rate + taxes and fees).
