Overview

What the Google Hotels API gives you.

Google surfaces hotel prices, ratings, and reviews that revenue and product teams want, but there is no public data API that hands them to you as JSON. The usual workaround is a scraping stack against the Google travel frontend: headless browsers, rotating proxies, and a parser that breaks every time the markup shifts.

StayAPI is that layer, run for you. You send a location, a hotel name, or a Google data_id and get structured JSON back: search results with pricing, full property details, star ratings and amenities, and Google place reviews with reviewer names, scores, and owner responses. The same data, the same shape, on every call.

One key, search to reviews.

X-API-Key in, JSON out. Hotel search, property info, and Google place reviews behind one base URL. No SDK to install.

We run the hard part.

Fetching the Google travel frontend, parsing, proxy rotation, and source uptime are ours. You consume normalized JSON and never touch a headless browser.

Real-time, not cached.

Every call hits Google live, so prices, ratings, and review counts are current to the request, not a stale nightly snapshot.

What people ask about the Google Hotels API.

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 a token. See the reviews endpoint docs.

Can I get Google Hotels prices via API?

Yes. /v1/google_hotels/search returns live nightly prices per property for your dates and occupancy, and /v1/google_hotels/info returns a single hotel's rate plus featured prices from booking sources, fetched live on each call.

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.

Is the Google Hotels API free?

You get 100 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.
