API Parameters

Customise the response from the Booking API by adding parameters to your request.

IMPORTANT! The engine parameter should always be set to booking_async!

The Booking API is a powerful Booking scraping tool, made easy to use. Basically, in order to scrape Booking , all you have to do is send a POST request to our official endpoint.

In order to customise the response from the Booking API, you have to pass certain query parameters and payload to your request. As we discussed in the Getting Started section, the Booking API supports multiple search types. Because each type has its own particularities, the Booking API has two sets of parameters:

• General parameters, applicable to any of the search engines

• Search type specific parameters, applicable to specific search engines

We will cover the General parameters here and present the specific ones in the sections dedicated to each search engine.

Here is the full list of the general parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
api_key Required	string	Specify your unique API access key to authenticate with the API. Your API access key can be found in your account dashboard.
engine Required	string	The engine of the API. Needs to be set to booking_async for all Booking API requests.
type Required	string	The Booking API uses search types in order to return categorised results.
