Agent Patterns

cli-web-booking search find "Paris" --sort price --checkin 2026-04-01 --checkout 2026-04-04 --json

# Get details of a specific hotel from search results
SLUG=$(cli-web-booking search find "Rome" --json | python -c "import json,sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['properties'][0]['slug'])")
cli-web-booking get "$SLUG" --json

# Resolve destination ID for scripting
cli-web-booking autocomplete "Tokyo" --json | python -c "import json,sys; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print(d['results'][0]['dest_id'])"

Notes

• Auth: WAF cookies required for search and property detail. Autocomplete works without auth.
• Setup: Run cli-web-booking auth login once to solve the WAF challenge.
• Prices: Currency depends on user's location. Use selected_currency=USD in manual requests.
• Rate limiting: No explicit limits, but add delays between rapid requests.
• Read-only: No write operations — search, browse, and get details only.
• Property slugs: Format is {country}/{name}.html (e.g., fr/lesenatparis.html).
