Travel & Hotel Scraping
Getting prices, ratings, availability, and amenities off travel and hospitality sites — hotels, rentals, attractions, and car-sharing marketplaces. Typical jobs: rate/price monitoring, competitive pricing, availability tracking, and review/ranking tracking.
The reality: OTAs are anti-bot-heavy
Online travel agencies are among the hardest targets on the web. Booking.com fronts its pages with AWS WAF; TripAdvisor runs aggressive anti-bot defenses; Trip.com/Ctrip and Turo render most pricing client-side. Plain HTTP almost always gets a challenge page, so the common working path is a stealth browser (Camoufox) + residential proxy — see anti-bot-scraping for the bypass details.
The fields that matter across these sites are consistent: name, price (often per night), rating, review count, location, star level, and amenities — plus availability for given dates and guest counts.
Ready-made scrapers
Anti-bot maintenance on these targets is constant. Before building, check whether a maintained scraper already covers what you need. Each is billed pay-per-result (free tier included):
