Booking Scraper

Anybody ?

Hi Romain,

thanks a lot for reporting this! Actually, Booking has a hard limit of 1000 hotels per search page.

Now, while our scraper utilizes some features to overcome this limit, it doesn't mean that you will scrape all of the results.

Though recently, booking has rolled out an update, which breaks our scraper a bit, getting less results by some significant margin.

We are currently working on a fix for this and it looks like the new update doesn't have the 1000 hotels limit anymore. Expect it to be finished in the next few days.

I will keep you updated here, thanks!

Great, I'm looking forward to this, because I really need to get all the results from the Booking search page at once

Do I need an APIFY subscription to retrieve 1000+ results with your Actor ?

Hi again,

unfortunately it looks like the new Booking search is still limited for the maximum amount of results. This time it has a maximum of 1100...

No, you can scrape more than 1000+ results even on the free tier, this is a limitation of Booking, not ours.

Our scraper can extract all hotels for a specific stay date, but if the dates are not inputted, it can only extract as much as possible.

Note that the issue with the current search is still not fixed, we need to properly test it.

Thanks for your understanding.

ok thank you for your feedback, I will then wait for you to correct the problem of booking blocking at 1000 results per search. Keep me informed please

Hi again,

I'm happy to inform you that we've just updated the Actor with the fix. You should now get more results.

Unfortunately, it turns out the new search still has the maximum amount of results limited, this time it's 1100 results per page.

Now how to overcome this limit

Our scraper can overcome the limit by either using price ranges (requires check-in and check-out dates, which limits results, but extract get all results for the given check-in-out) or by splitting the request by location filters, but they loose some results.

In your case, you do not have check-in and check-out dates, so the location filters will have to do the trick. I've tested them out and from 5771 results in Korsika, I got 5227 ;)

Unfortunately there is just no way to get all results. Theoretically you could use multiple non-overlapping hotel filters to get over the 1100 hotels limit on each URL, but this is manual work and this scraper currently doesn't support filter parameters in the input URLs.

I hope this helps. Try it out and let me know how it works, thanks!
