The pieces

One source, one destination.

Google Hotels

Google aggregates prices and reviews across the whole booking landscape, and its entity tokens resolve from plain hotel names, no URL required. Here the reviews endpoint pours that text into Power BI as sortable rows.

Power BI

Power BI talks to REST APIs natively through Power Query. No connector to install: the Web source plus one request header gets the JSON in, and scheduled refresh keeps it current. On this page it holds Google Hotels reviews, refreshed from one endpoint call.

The call

One endpoint returns Google Hotels reviews.

The Google 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 Google Reviews /v1/google_reviews/reviews https://api.stayapi.com/v1/google_reviews/reviews?data_id=0x80c8c430cb5147bd:0x82f2c7c5d9d10d84

Setup

Wire Power BI to the endpoint.

01

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

In Power BI Desktop, choose Get Data > Web > Advanced.
03

Enter the endpoint URL and add an x-api-key request header.
04

Expand the JSON in Power Query, load it, and set a scheduled refresh in the service.

Config

Power Query: one M expression.

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