Does Google have a hotels API?

Google runs the Hotels Center and Hotel Ads APIs for advertisers and connectivity partners, but they are gated, contract-bound, and not built for pulling search results, prices, or reviews into your own product. StayAPI gives you that data over plain REST with a key you get in 30 seconds.

How do I get Google hotel reviews?

Call /v1/google_reviews/reviews with a Google data_id, or use /v1/google_reviews/search-and-review to search by location and get the top hotel plus its reviews in one request. You get reviewer names, scores, dates, and owner responses as JSON, paginated with an opaque token that you pass back unchanged. See the reviews endpoint docs.

Can I get Google Hotels prices via API?

Yes. /v1/google_travel/search returns live nightly and whole-stay prices per hotel for your dates and occupancy, and /v1/google_travel/prices returns one hotel's nightly price, usual-price band, and booking-partner offers by entity_token, fetched live on each call. See the prices endpoint docs.

What is a Google place or data_id?

The data_id is Google's internal identifier for a place on Maps (for example 0x80c8c430cb5147bd:0x82f2c7c5d9d10d84). It pins reviews to one exact property. You can resolve one with /v1/google_reviews/search-and-review and then reuse it to paginate every review for that place.

Can I get Google Maps place details via API?

Yes. /v1/google_maps/search finds places of any kind by free text and returns a data_id for each. Pass it to /v1/google_maps/place for categories, address, phone, rating histogram, opening hours, attributes, and photos, or to /v1/google_reviews/reviews for its reviews. See the place details docs.

Is the Google Hotels 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.
