Platform coverage

Endpoint-level coverage for every booking engine

Each target engine maps to a documented endpoint and a fixed, schema-stable response. Below are the exact properties returned per integration.

Booking.com API Integration

POST /api/v1/hotel/rates

Pull live Booking.com hotel rates and availability through a single REST call. The TagX Booking.com API returns normalized rate objects per room and stay window, ready for price comparison engines and revenue-management models.

Returns
  • hotelId
  • room_rates[]
  • board_type
  • cancellation_policy
  • currency
  • availability
  • platform

Expedia Hotel Rates API

POST /api/v1/hotel/rates

Scrape Expedia hotel rates in real time with full tax and fee breakdowns. The Expedia rates endpoint exposes per-room pricing so you can reconstruct the exact total a traveller would see at checkout.

Returns
  • hotelId
  • base_rate
  • taxes_and_fees
  • total_rate
  • refundable
  • room_type
  • retrieved_at

Airbnb Real-Time Price Scraper

POST /api/v1/airbnb/price

Query Airbnb listing pricing including the fees most APIs hide. The TagX Airbnb price endpoint extracts base_rate, cleaning_fees, host_ratings and real-time calendar arrays so you can model the true nightly cost across any date range.

Returns
  • listing_id
  • base_rate
  • cleaning_fees
  • service_fee
  • host_ratings
  • calendar[]
  • minimum_nights

Airbnb Vacation Rental Search API

Returns
  • hotelId
  • platform
  • room_rates[]
  • currency
  • check_in
  • check_out
Anti-bot architecture

How TagX retrieves live rates without getting blocked

The unblocking stack is fully managed and transparent to the caller. You send a clean POST request; TagX handles the network, TLS and challenge layers that normally break in-house scrapers.

Network layer

Automated proxy rotation

Every request egresses through a rotating residential and datacenter proxy pool. IPs are cycled per request and geo-matched to the target OTA, so rate limits and per-IP throttling on Expedia, Booking.com and Airbnb never reach your integration.

TLS layer

JA3 fingerprint evasion

TLS handshakes are randomized so the JA3/JA3S fingerprint of each connection mimics a real browser rather than an automated client. This defeats fingerprint-based bot detection that flags scripted TLS signatures.

Challenge layer

CAPTCHA handling

Interstitial and inline CAPTCHA challenges are detected and solved automatically inside the pipeline. Challenges are absorbed server-side and never surfaced to the API caller — you receive data, not a challenge page.

Developer FAQ

Travel Data API — frequently asked questions

Direct, factual answers to the questions developers ask about the TagX Travel Data API, hotel rates, Airbnb pricing and anti-bot handling.

How does TagX bypass Expedia rate limits?

The TagX Travel Data API routes every request through an automated proxy-rotation layer, so each call to Expedia, Booking.com or Airbnb egresses from a fresh, geo-matched IP and never trips per-IP rate limits. TLS handshakes are randomized to evade JA3 fingerprinting, and CAPTCHA challenges are detected and solved server-side. You send a single POST to /api/v1/hotel/rates and receive data, never a block or challenge page.

Can I query Airbnb cleaning fees via this API?

Yes. POST to /api/v1/airbnb/price with the listing_id and date range and the response includes base_rate, cleaning_fees, service_fee, host_ratings and a real-time calendar array. This lets you reconstruct the true total nightly cost of any Airbnb listing rather than just the advertised nightly rate.

What endpoint returns live hotel rates and what body does it need?

Use POST https://hoteldata.tagxdata.com/api/v1/hotel/rates with an X-API-Key header. The JSON body takes hotel_id, check_in, check_out, currency and an optional platform (expedia or booking). The API returns a room_rates array containing room_type, board_type, base_rate, taxes_and_fees and total_rate for each available room.

How do I authenticate with the TagX Travel Data API?

Authentication uses a single X-API-Key request header — there is no OAuth flow or token exchange. Pass X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY on every request. Each key is independently rate-limited and metered, and a free trial key is available to validate data quality before committing.

Which OTAs and booking engines does the TagX hotel API cover?

The TagX Travel Data API covers two verticals across four primary engines: Hotels from Expedia, Booking.com and Amadeus via /api/v1/hotel/search and /api/v1/hotel/rates, and Vacation Rentals from Airbnb via /api/v1/airbnb/search and /api/v1/airbnb/price. A stable hotelId joins records across the hotel endpoints.

What response formats does the Travel Data API return?

Every endpoint returns structured JSON by default, with CSV available for bulk and analytics workflows. Response objects are schema-stable, so fields such as hotelId, room_rates, base_rate, currency and platform stay consistent across requests, making them safe to parse programmatically.

Is the hotel rate data real-time or cached?

It is real-time. The TagX rate engine retrieves pricing live from the target OTA at request time rather than serving cached snapshots, so base_rate, taxes_and_fees and availability reflect the current market. A retrieved_at timestamp is included on each response so you can audit freshness.

How do I get hotel rates from Booking.com programmatically?

Chain two calls: POST /api/v1/hotel/search to resolve a destination or property into a canonical hotelId, then POST /api/v1/hotel/rates with that hotel_id, your check_in and check_out dates, currency and platform set to booking. The second call returns the live room_rates array with full tax and fee breakdowns.
