The pieces

One source, one destination.

Expedia

Expedia pairs guest reviews with a rates endpoint that returns nightly prices for concrete dates. The property ID sits right in the hotel URL, after the h. Below, that review stream lands in BigQuery row by row.

BigQuery

BigQuery wants rows, not API calls. A small scheduled job fetches the JSON, flattens the fields you care about, and appends them to a table, so history accumulates and SQL does the rest. In this guide it reads Expedia reviews straight from the StayAPI endpoint.

The call

One endpoint returns Expedia reviews.

The Expedia Hotel Reviews endpoint returns clean JSON for one hotel. Send your key in the X-API-Key header. See the endpoint docs for every parameter.

GET Expedia Hotel Reviews /v1/expedia/hotel/reviews https://api.stayapi.com/v1/expedia/hotel/reviews?property_id=1582716

Setup

Wire BigQuery to the endpoint.

01

Create a StayAPI account and copy your API key from the dashboard.
02

Create a dataset and table with the schema below.
03

Run the Python script below on a schedule (Cloud Run jobs and Cloud Scheduler work well).
04

Query the table or point your BI layer at it.

Config

Python: fetch and insert.

This uses the real endpoint URL with the example hotel id. Swap in your hotel id and your API key.

load.py

import requests, psycopg2

URL = "https://api.stayapi.com/v1/expedia/hotel/reviews?property_id=1582716"
HEADERS = {"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"}

resp = requests.get(URL, headers=HEADERS, timeout=30)
resp.raise_for_status()
body = resp.json()
records = body.get("data", {}).get("reviews") or body.get("reviews") or body.get("rooms") or []

conn = psycopg2.connect(dsn="YOUR_CONNECTION_STRING")
cur = conn.cursor()
for r in records:
    cur.execute(
        "INSERT INTO stay_data (id, rating, text, reviewer_name) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s)",
        (r.get("id"), r.get("rating"), r.get("text"), r.get("reviewer_name")),
    )
conn.commit()
cur.close()
conn.close()
