Tips for Best Results

Use Clean Search URLs

• Use Booking listing URLs from search results, city pages, or country pages.
• Keep destination and guest parameters in the URL.

Start Small

• Test with results_wanted: 20 first.
• Scale up after confirming output quality.

Use Proxy for Stability

• Residential proxy often improves consistency on protected pages.
• Increase max_pages only when needed.
