IHG API

Overview

What the IHG API gives you.

IHG Hotels & Resorts runs Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, InterContinental, Kimpton, voco, Hotel Indigo, Staybridge Suites, Candlewood Suites, and more, but it has no public data API for the rates and availability that revenue and product teams actually need. The usual answer is a scraping stack: headless browsers, rotating proxies, and a parser that breaks every time ihg.com ships a layout change.

StayAPI is that layer, run for you. You send coordinates or an IHG hotel code and get structured JSON back: nearby properties with brand and address, live cash rates per room type with taxes and fees, and the IHG One Rewards points and points-plus-cash ladder. The same data, the same shape, on every call.

Cash and reward pricing together.

Every room returns rates (cash, in the property's local currency) and reward_options (IHG One Rewards points and points+cash) in one response. No second call to compare them.

We run the hard part.

Fetching, parsing, proxy rotation, and source uptime are ours. You pass an x-api-key and consume normalized JSON, never a headless browser.

Live, not cached.

Each call hits IHG's availability service, so rates, points levels, and inventory counts are current to the request, not a stale nightly snapshot.

Endpoints

Every IHG endpoint, one base URL.

Each returns normalized JSON in the same shape. Click any endpoint for parameters, an example response, and a live playground.

GET Hotel search /v1/ihg/search Find IHG properties near a set of coordinates, sorted by distance, with brand, address, photos, and ratings. GET Hotel rooms /v1/ihg/rooms Live room types for a hotel code and dates: cash rate plans with taxes and IHG One Rewards redemption options. GET URL to ID /v1/ihg/hotel/url-to-id Extract the IHG hotel mnemonic from any ihg.com URL so you can call the rooms endpoint.

Use cases

What teams build on the IHG API.

The same endpoints, pointed at different jobs. These are the ones we see most.

Brand.com vs OTA rate shopping.

Pull IHG's own cash rates per room type and date, then compare them against the OTA prices you already track to catch where ihg.com undercuts or matches the channels.

Room and availability tracking.

Poll the rooms endpoint for a hotel code over a date range to watch how rates, inventory counts, and reward levels move as a stay fills up.

Direct-vs-OTA and loyalty comparison.

Surface IHG One Rewards points and points+cash options next to the cash rate so a traveler or tool can see when redeeming beats paying for an IHG property.

Market analysis for IHG properties.

Benchmark a Holiday Inn or Crowne Plaza against nearby IHG brands on rate and room type using the same fields for every property in the search radius.

Does IHG have a public API?

IHG runs partner and connectivity programs for travel agencies and corporate channels, but it has no open, self-serve data API for pulling search results, room rates, or reward pricing. StayAPI gives you that data over plain REST with a key you get in 30 seconds, across Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, InterContinental, Kimpton, and every other IHG brand.

Can I get IHG rates and rooms via API?

Yes. Call /v1/ihg/rooms with a hotel_code and your check_in / check_out dates. You get every bookable room type with cash rate plans (taxes and fees included) and the IHG One Rewards points and points+cash ladder, fetched live on each call. See the rooms endpoint docs.

How do I search IHG hotels?

Call /v1/ihg/search with a latitude and longitude. You get IHG properties within the radius, nearest first, each with brand, structured address, coordinates, photos, and a review summary. Take the hotel_code from a result and pass it to the rooms endpoint for rates. If you only have an ihg.com link, resolve it first with url-to-id.

Is the IHG 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.
