Notes from operating hotel and flight scrapers in production. Each guide covers one problem that quietly corrupts travel price data, why it happens, and what to do about it — written to be useful whether or not you ever call our API.
An anonymous scrape returns the public rate. A signed-in user is very often shown a lower one — Booking.com's own Genius programme states 10–15% before taxes, and MakeMyTrip's MMTBLACK adds a minimum 10% on select hotels. The bias only goes one way, which means more samples don't fix it. Covers what breaks in rate-parity and repricing pipelines, a diagnostic you can run on your own data this afternoon, and the provenance fields a price row needs to carry.

If you want parameters and response schemas rather than background, the reference documentation is the faster route:
Multi-OTA price comparison via Google Hotels, plus per-room rates direct from Agoda, Booking.com, MakeMyTrip and Expedia. Destination search for city-level sweeps.
Per-segment fare detail from Google Flights and MakeMyTrip.
How the same sources are applied in travel & hospitality, by AI agents, and in e-commerce & pricing.
