New
Today, we're thrilled to update you on some of the newest enhancements and give you a sneak peek into what’s coming next.


​Airbnb Property API​


The ​Airbnb Property API​ returns detailed structured data for a single Airbnb listing. It includes:

  • Property Data - The property object provides core fields such as id, title, description, link, rating, review count, guest_capacity, and accommodations (room type, beds, bath).
  • Amenities - A normalized amenities array, where each item includes name and is_available. This allows consistent feature parsing across listings.
  • Ratings - Category-level ratings are available under property_ratings, including cleanliness, accuracy, check-in, communication, location, and value.
  • Rules & Safety - house_rules contains check-in/checkout times, check-in method, and stay restrictions. safety_policies lists safety devices or requirements (e.g., smoke alarm, CO alarm).
  • Location & Images - gps_coordinates return latitude and longitude. The images array includes captioned image URLs for building galleries or media displays.
  • Host Information - A separate host object provides host ID, name, profile URL, bio, verification flags, rating, review count, hosting duration, response metrics, and avatar URL.

The structure is consistent with other accommodation APIs (e.g., Google Hotels Property), making it easy to reuse data models across different APIs.


​Airbnb Property Reviews API​


The ​Airbnb Reviews API ​returns structured review data for a single Airbnb listing. It includes:

  • Review Metadata - The search_information object exposes the total number of reviews available for the property.
  • Reviews - Each review entry includes review_id, full text, language, rating, relative and ISO timestamps, and a nested user object containing id, name, profile_link, details, and avatar.
  • User Data - The user object standardizes reviewer information across listings, including unique identifiers and profile metadata.
  • Sorting Options - Reviews can be ordered using the sort_by parameter. Supported values are most_relevant (default), most_recent, highest_rating, and lowest_rating.
  • Topic Filtering - The topic_id parameter filters reviews by a single topic. Topics (e.g., location, cleanliness, hospitality, amenities, comfort, value, walkability, etc.) are provided in the topics field when available. topic_id cannot be used with the q search parameter.

The structure is consistent with other review-related APIs, making it straightforward to reuse filtering, pagination, and user-data handling logic across different APIs.


​Yandex Reverse Image API​


The ​Yandex Reverse Image API​ returns structured data for a reverse-image lookup. It includes:

  • Image Preview - The image_preview object contains the main image (link, width, height) and a list of detected crops. Each crop includes a category, crop_id, is_product flag, and normalised crop coordinates.
  • Object Detection - Crops returned in image_preview.crops represent detected objects within the image, such as furniture items or decor elements, with associated labels and bounding regions.
  • Visual Matches - The visual_matches array lists visually similar items from external sources. Each result includes position, title, snippet, source domain, link, thumbnail, and a high-resolution image object.
  • Related Searches - The related_searches array provides image-based query suggestions from Yandex, each with a title and direct search link.
  • Similar Images - The similar_images array contains image search result pages that match the original input closely. Each item includes position, link, thumbnail, and an image object.

The structure mirrors Google Lens API keys, providing consistent fields for detected objects, similarity ranking, and related visual content across APIs.


​Facebook Business Page API​


The ​Facebook Business Page API​ returns structured data for a public Facebook business page. It includes:

  • Page Data - The page object provides core fields such as id, name, page link, follower count, following count, and links to follower/following lists. It also includes profile and cover photo URLs in both original and page-link formats.
  • Followers & Following - Follower and following objects include text labels, direct links, and numeric counts, enabling consistent parsing of engagement metrics.
  • Photos - The API exposes profile_photo_original, profile_photo_link, cover_photo_original, and cover_photo_link for retrieving image assets or linking directly to Facebook-hosted media.
  • About Information - The about object contains formatted categories, address, coordinates, phone number, website, review metrics (rating percentage and total reviews), and price range.
  • Location Data - gps_coordinates returns latitude and longitude for map-based features or store locators.


​Google Shorts API​


The ​Google Shorts API​ returns short-form video results surfaced in Google Search. It includes:

  • Shorts Results - Each entry in the shorts array provides position, title, link to the original video, source platform (e.g., TikTok), author/creator name, video length, and a thumbnail for preview rendering.


​Google Books API​


The ​Google Books API​ returns structured book results from Google Books search. It includes:

  • Organic Results - Each item in organic_results provides position, book id, title, link to the Google Books page, publication date, and optional extensions such as author and year.
  • Authors - The authors array includes each author's name and a link to their author-specific Google Books search page.
  • Book Metadata - Additional fields such as snippet, extensions, and publication date provide concise book information suitable for previews or summaries.
  • Related Links - The other_links array includes links such as preview pages, additional editions, or alternate book formats.
  • Thumbnails - A thumbnail field is available for displaying book cover previews, returned as a base64 image or external image URL.

Database Infrastructure Upgrade


We upgraded our primary database on December 1, 2025, to resolve intermittent HTTP 500 errors affecting approximately 0.0001% of requests, caused by connection exhaustion under high load.

Maintenance Window (UTC)

  • Start: December 1, 2025, at 11:00 UTC
  • End: December 1, 2025, at 11:13 UTC

We use AWS RDS Multi-AZ, which performs automatic failover during upgrades and typically completes in under 60 seconds. We didn't observe any noticeable disruption during the switch.

The new instance runs on a newer-generation CPU with significantly improved performance characteristics. Early metrics already show reduced request latency across API endpoints, and we're planning additional performance optimisations in the coming months.

This upgrade also provides the capacity headroom we've planned for the next 12 months of growth.
