Tips For Best Results

Start With Default Volume

• Use results_wanted: 20 first to validate destination and timing.
• Increase volume only after verifying stable output.

Use Expedia URLs Only

• Provide an Expedia Hotel-Search URL or an Expedia destination page URL.
• The actor repairs missing dates, adults, sort, and common query noise automatically.

Use Residential Proxies

• Residential routing improves reliability on protected travel pages.
• Keep request volume moderate when collecting large destination sets.

Keep Dates Valid

• If pasted dates are missing or already in the past, the actor shifts them to a safe future stay automatically.
• If only one date is usable, checkout is healed to the next day.

Expect Field Variance

• Not every listing exposes every field.
• Empty/null fields are removed automatically from dataset records.

---

• Excel - Best for reporting teams.
• XML - Best for legacy integrations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are some fields missing in certain records?

Listings do not always expose the same details. The actor keeps only non-empty values.

Can I scrape multiple destinations?

Yes. Run one job per destination URL or schedule separate runs with different input payloads.

How many listings can I collect?

It depends on destination inventory and load depth. Increase max_pages and results_wanted as needed.

Why does proxy matter?

Some Expedia result pages apply request-rate controls. Residential proxies improve run stability.

Does the actor remove duplicates?

Yes. Duplicate listing cards are filtered by hotel ID.

What happens if my URL is incomplete?

The actor normalizes Expedia URLs, strips wrapper characters and common tracking junk, and retries with a refreshed session when Expedia rejects the first bootstrap attempt.
