Does Expedia have a public API?

Expedia runs partner programs (EPS Rapid, the affiliate API) that are gated, contract-bound, and built for booking flows, not for reading guest reviews or shopping competitor rates. StayAPI gives you Expedia reviews and live rates over plain REST with a key you get in 30 seconds.

How do I get Expedia hotel reviews?

Call /v1/expedia/hotel/reviews with a property_id (the number after the h in an Expedia hotel URL). You get review text, rating, reviewer name, and date as JSON, with pagination and a sort=recent_desc option for newest-first. See the reviews endpoint docs.

Can I get Expedia rates via API?

Yes. /v1/expedia/hotel/rates returns room types and rate plans for your check_in and check_out dates: nightly rate, total price, strikeout price, total with taxes and fees, and availability. Available results contain a priced offer; explicit sold-out stays are successful results. Malformed availability returns a non-2xx error. Pass up to six comma-separated ages from 0 to 17 in children_ages for family occupancy. See the rates endpoint docs.

Is the Expedia API free?

You get 50 free requests on signup, every endpoint included, no credit card. After that it is flat monthly plans starting at $49. One request equals one credit, with no per-endpoint multipliers.

What response format does the API return?

JSON over HTTPS, the same shape on every call. REST works in any language with no SDK to install. Community examples in Python, Node, PHP, and Ruby live in the docs.
