  • Priceline — nightly rates, guest ratings

Use Cases

  • Travel price monitoring — track rate changes across OTAs for specific destinations and dates
  • Market research — benchmark competitive pricing for hospitality businesses
  • Rate intelligence — identify price gaps between platforms for arbitrage or travel planning
  • Lead generation — build datasets of properties with pricing and contact details

Notes

  • Anti-bot protections: OTAs employ aggressive bot detection. This actor uses residential proxies to maximize success rates, and is classified as a high-complexity scraper (compatibility tier 2).
  • Dynamic pricing: Hotel prices change frequently. Results reflect pricing at the time of the run.
  • Source availability: Not all hotels appear on all OTAs. Comparing multiple sources gives broader coverage.
  • Date sensitivity: Prices vary significantly by date, season, and how far in advance you book. Run the actor with your exact travel dates for accurate data.
  • Currency: Prices are returned in the currency displayed by the OTA, which depends on your proxy's exit country (defaults to US).
