Tips for best results

1. Use specific locations: "Paris, France" works better than just "Paris"
2. Set realistic date ranges: Prices vary significantly by date
3. Use filters wisely: Filtering client-side (stars, price) is faster than URL parameters
4. Start small: Test with maxItems: 10 before large scrapes
5. Residential proxy: Enabled by default for best reliability

FAQ

Q: Why are some prices different from the Booking.com website? A: Prices on Booking.com vary based on user location, login status, and cookies. The scraper sees prices as a new visitor from the US.

Q: Can I scrape hotel details pages? A: This scraper focuses on search results. For detailed info (full description, all photos, room types), contact us for a custom solution.

Q: How often can I run the scraper? A: There are no limits on run frequency. However, prices change frequently, so scraping the same hotels more than once per day may not add value.

Q: What happens if no hotels are found? A: The scraper returns an empty dataset and logs "No hotels found matching criteria". Check your location spelling and date range.
