OpenAPI Initiative Download OpenAPI Spec

The Expedia Hotels API returns Expedia's hotels and other stays for a place and dates, up to 50 per page in the order asked for. Each property carries its guest rating and review count, area, coordinates, amenities and badges, its nightly price and the stay's total with taxes and fees, and whether it is fully refundable or VIP Access. Filter by stars, rating, property type, amenities, nightly price or free cancellation, sort by price or stars, and page through the results.
