Same one-sentence start. ### Hotels & small groups Own your ops tools. - A compset board for your exact market - One review inbox across every OTA - Parity alerts on your direct price ### Agencies Build once, sell to every client. - White-label dashboards under your brand - Pipe live data into client sites and reports - Restyle per property; pricing scales with your book ### Travel-tech founders Prototype on live data. - Ship search, pricing, and review features fast - No data infrastructure to build or babysit - Standard code — take it anywhere later What you can build ## Stop renting your hotel software. Build the version you own. You don't need another Lighthouse or Cloudbeds seat to watch your compset or your reviews. Each of those products is a data feed plus a UI. The feed is StayAPI. The UI is now a prompt. 01Replaces your rate shopper ### Compset rate board Your rate next to five competitors across Booking, Expedia, and Agoda. Any date range, refreshed on open. 02Replaces your reputation tool ### Review command center Booking, Google, TripAdvisor, and Airbnb reviews in one inbox, with sentiment and response gap. 03Replaces your parity tool ### Rate parity checker Every channel undercutting your direct price, flagged with the exact room, date, and gap. 04Replaces your BI seat ### Portfolio dashboard Ranks, rates, and review velocity for every property on one screen the GM actually opens. 05Guest-facing ### Booking-style search A search experience for your market: filters, live prices, availability. Your brand on top. 06Guest-facing ### Property & room pages Live photos, amenities, and room rates on your own domain, always in sync with the OTAs. How it works ## From idea to app in production. 1. 1 ### Get your key [Sign up](/users/sign_up) for StayAPI. First **50 requests** on us. No credit card. 2. 2 ### Paste a starter Open **Lovable, v0, or Base44** — or Cursor / Claude Code in your editor. Paste a starter prompt, drop your key in. 3. 3 ### Ship your app Deploy on the builder's hosting. StayAPI keeps feeding it live rates, reviews, and availability. Pick your builder ## Describe it. Watch it build. Never coded? Chat-to-app builders deploy for you. Technical? Use the editor you already have. The prompt starters below work in all of them. ![Lovable logo](/assets/logos/lovable_logo-56281c75ebd9909cc8ab39d517f71f0eac0fb6f1e7186bf1ee804e965879a1b8.png) ### Lovable Describe the app in chat. Lovable ships a working web app with auth, a database, and hosting. ![v0 logo](/assets/logos/v0_logo-6620b7d6ba95ebc57d40cb0b7da40891acd3493908da88283c056078e358a179.png) ### v0 Vercel's builder.

Hand it a starter prompt; it ships the whole feature. Prompt starters ## Starting is one sentence. Copy one and keep talking. Paste a starter into your builder, drop in your StayAPI key when it asks, and refine from there. The [docs](/docs) are written for exactly this. Let's build a compset dashboard: my hotel's Booking.com rate next to 5 competitors for the next 30 days. Let's build a review inbox pulling my latest Booking, Google, and TripAdvisor reviews into one feed, newest first. Let's build a parity checker comparing my direct price against Booking and Expedia for the same room and dates. Let's build a property page with live photos, amenities, and room rates for my hotel. Let's build a hotel search for my city with a price filter and a map, powered by live Booking data. Let's build a weekly digest that emails me every new review under 8/10 across my portfolio. Six starters. There are **countless more** : if a hotel tool shows it on a screen, your app can pull it from StayAPI. Examples ## What one sentence turns into. Three of the starters above, sketched into app layouts. This is the first conversation with your builder; wiring in live StayAPI data is the second. aurora-compset.app ![Compset rate board: six hotels, seven days of nightly Booking.com rates with price rank and undercut alerts](/assets/vibe/compset_app-0d1e5bbb0aca6b8ce5ad839a00b3442a345f6f4c452f16879d6fb1cb6c269986.png) _Compset rate board From starter 01 · your rate vs five competitors, any date range_ aurora-reviews.app ![Review command center: Booking, Google, TripAdvisor and Airbnb reviews in one feed with sentiment topics and response gap](/assets/vibe/reviews_app-7db4611acf638707265b0ca1bad565c864045fb638ce7063c8283139d53fdcfe.png) _Review command center From starter 02 · every OTA in one inbox, reply gaps flagged_ chiadostays.com ![Guest-facing hotel search: filters, star ratings, live prices and review scores for Lisbon stays](/assets/vibe/search_app-64d0abc471676000cbd6d425a56e879b20362b206752919b6d7910d51dab7a5a.png) _Booking-style search From starter 05 · guest-facing, your brand on top_ Questions ## Things people ask first. Not here? Email [info@stayapi.com](mailto:info@stayapi.com) — a human answers. #Do I really not need a developer? Not for version one. Builders like Lovable, v0, and Base44 ship a working, hosted app from a conversation — you describe, they build. And because the output is standard code, any developer can pick it up later if you outgrow the builder. #Is there a step-by-step example I can follow? Yes — our [Claude Code tutorial](/blog/claude-code-tutorial) builds a working hotel review feed in three prompts: live Booking.com review data, a small backend, and a styled, paginated UI. It's the exact workflow this page describes, written out prompt by prompt. #What does it cost once the app is live? Two subscriptions you control: the builder's plan (typically $20–30/month) and a StayAPI plan sized to how much data your app pulls. You start free — 50 requests on signup, no card — and pick a plan when the app earns its keep. #Where does the app run? On the builder's hosting, with a shareable URL — or your own domain. StayAPI is just the data feed behind it: a plain HTTPS API your app calls for rates, reviews, and availability. #What data can my app pull? Live rates, availability, reviews, rankings, photos, and property details from Booking, Expedia, Agoda, TripAdvisor, Google Hotels, Airbnb, and more. If a hotel tool shows it on a screen, it's probably in the [docs](/docs). #Can my agency build these for clients? Yes — that's half the point. Build once, restyle per client, and StayAPI's per-property pricing scales with your book. See how [agencies use StayAPI](/agencies) for the white-label side. ## Own the tool today.
