Booking Scraper API (Node.js)

Collect Booking.com hotel rates from Node without a browser or an HTML parser. This package wraps the ScrapingBee web scraping API: pass a destination and check-in and check-out dates, and it resolves to a JSON array of properties with name, price, review score, and location.

Booking.com leans on JavaScript and anti-bot challenges, which is why a raw fetch tends to come back empty. This Booking scraper renders the page and uses residential proxies by default, and it exposes a Stealth switch for searches that hit a challenge wall.

Install

npm install booking-scraper-api

Node 14 or newer. axios comes along as a dependency.

Usage

const { BookingScraper } = require('booking-scraper-api');

const scraper = new BookingScraper({ apiKey: 'YOUR_SCRAPINGBEE_API_KEY' });

(async () => {
  const { hotels } = await scraper.search('Rome, Lazio, Italy', {
    checkin: '2026-10-25',
    checkout: '2026-10-26',
    adults: 2,
    rooms: 1,
  });
  hotels.forEach((h) => console.log(`${h.name} - ${h.price} - ${h.score}`));
})();

Options

search(destination, options) takes the destination first and an options object second. Booking.com pages in increments of 25, so offset: 25 is the second page.

| Option | Default | What it does | |---|---|---| | checkin / checkout | required | Stay dates in YYYY-MM-DD | | adults | 2 | Guests | | rooms | 1 | Rooms | | offset | 0 | Pagination offset (25 per page) | | renderJs | true | Render in a headless browser | | premiumProxy | true | Use residential proxies | | stealthProxy | false | Escalate to Stealth for anti-bot pages | | countryCode | 'us' | Proxy country |

Returned data

Each property object follows the selectors in ScrapingBee's data extraction rules:

{
  name: 'Hotel Example Roma',
  price: '€180',
  score: '8.9',
  location: 'Trevi, Rome'
}

Getting past a challenge

When residential proxies are not enough, turn on Stealth mode. It targets aggressive anti-bot systems and always renders JavaScript:

const { hotels } = await scraper.search('Paris', {
  checkin: '2026-11-10', checkout: '2026-11-12', stealthProxy: true,
});

Scraping one property URL

scrape(url, options) fetches a single Booking.com page, returning HTML by default or JSON with your own extractRules.

Credits

A residential request with rendering costs 25 ScrapingBee credits; a Stealth request costs 75. Full breakdown on ScrapingBee pricing.
