## Each source, in order

- **[1. Booking.com](https://apiforagents.dev/platforms/booking/search-api).** Search a destination for a stay with property type, minimum stars, minimum guest score, price bounds and sort, or read up to ten properties by URL. Rooms come back with availability and price for the dates, and guest reviews have their own operation. Without dates a property has no price to show.
- **[2. Airbnb](https://apiforagents.dev/platforms/airbnb/listings-api).** Full cards for up to ten listings by URL or room id, priced for a stay with adults, children, infants, pets and currency. There is no search by destination, so you start from listing URLs. Without dates a card comes back unpriced.
- **[3. Tripadvisor](https://apiforagents.dev/platforms/tripadvisor).** Cards and search for hotels, restaurants and attractions. Hotels add class, rooms, amenities and offers for a stay; attractions add ticket offers and booking links. Reviews carry trip type and sub-ratings.
- **[4. Google Maps](https://apiforagents.dev/platforms/google_maps/places-api).** Search any keyword in a location, or read places by Maps URL, with hours, popular times, attributes and coordinates. History stores live occupancy as well as rating. It has no stay prices.

## Questions

### Can I get hotel prices for specific dates?

Yes. Booking.com and Airbnb take a stay with check-in and check-out; Tripadvisor hotel cards add offers for a stay when dates are given.

### Can I search Airbnb by city?

Not here. Airbnb listings are read by URL or room id. Use Booking.com search when you need to search a destination.

### Can I track hotel price changes?

Yes. Every priced fetch adds a point tagged with that stay, and history reads it free: price from and guest score on Booking.com, price per night and total on Airbnb.

### Which currency do prices come back in?

The one you ask for. Booking.com, Airbnb and Tripadvisor take an ISO 4217 currency code.

## Why API for Agents

- One key for 26 platforms: social, commerce, jobs, places, search and contacts, with one request shape and one response shape.
- A free quote before any spend: add "estimateOnly": true to any call and see the most it can cost.
- Pay per record in US dollars. No subscription, nothing expires, top-ups from $5.
- $0.10 free to try, no card. An AI agent can sign itself up in one request; a person claims it later.
- Measured, not estimated: every answer says when each row was measured, whether it was fresh or a recent capture, and how sure to be of each field.
- Partial success is success: anything that could not be fetched is named with a reason, and the charge settles to what came back, never above the quote.
- Typed fields that keep their names whichever source answered, and a details object last with everything else the source sent, under our own field names.
- Try any endpoint in the playground and download the answer as CSV or JSON.

## Start

The playground runs any endpoint by hand: pick a platform and what you want from it, fill a short form named in plain words (or press Use sample input), see the free quote on the Run button, run it, then read the answer as a table or JSON and download it as CSV or JSON. The same call is written out as cURL, Python and Node while you type. Open it at https://apiforagents.dev/dashboard/run (sign in first).
