Despegar Hotels Scraper

The Despegar Hotels Scraper extracts hotel availability data from Despegar US for a selected destination, check-in date, check-out date, and guest count. It uses Despegar's hotel suggestions and availability flow to return structured hotel offer data that can be exported from Apify in JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or XML.

Use this Actor to monitor hotel availability, compare accommodation prices, or collect Despegar hotel search data for travel research.

What Can Despegar Hotels Scraper Do?

• Resolve destination names such as London through Despegar hotel suggestions.
• Query Despegar hotel availability for dates and guest count.
• Extract hotel names, prices, ratings, star class, location data, images, and source metadata when available.
• Accept direct Despegar hotel result URLs in startUrls.
• Run with Apify dataset exports, scheduling, API access, webhooks, and proxy configuration.

Important: DataDome Protection

Despegar availability requests are protected by DataDome. In local testing, the public suggestions API worked, but the availability API returned a DataDome block without a valid browser/proxy session. The Actor is implemented around the availability API, but reliable production runs will likely require residential proxies or a browser-backed session that can obtain valid DataDome cookies.

Notes and Limitations

Hotel availability and pricing can change quickly. Treat scraped prices as snapshots and verify final rates on Despegar before booking.

If Despegar returns a DataDome block, the run will fail with a clear error. Use residential proxies and retry, or provide a run environment that can maintain a valid Despegar browser session.
