expedia reviews API documentation
We provide a simple to setup REST API that returns reviews in JSON format. Before integrating the API you should be aware of the following:
- The expedia API returns 50 reviews per request.
- The order in which reviews are returned is by descending date(from newest to oldest). But English reviews are returned first and then reviews from other languages
- You can get all reviews from a single place by using the
offsetparameter.
To get reviews from Wextractor you will need to perform GET requests against
the https://wextractor.com/api/v1/reviews/expedia endpoint.
Reviews endpoint parameters:
| Parameter | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| auth_token | Required | Your API token for authentication. Once you register to Wextractor you can extract this key from your account's setting page. | - |
| id | Required | A textual identifier that uniquely identifies a place in expedia. This numerical identifier appears in the url for the hotel in Expedia, for example for https://www.expedia.com/es/New-York-Hoteles-Empire-Hotel.h3670.Informacion-Hotel the identifier is: 3670
|
3670 |
| offset | Optional | This parameter defines the result offset. It skips the given number of reviews. It's used for pagination. (e.g., 0 (default) is the first page of results, 50 is the 2nd page of results, 100 is the 3rd page of results, etc.). | 50 |
Example usage:
https://wextractor.com/api/v1/reviews/expedia?id=3670&auth_token=XXXXX&offset=0

Frequently asked questions:
- How do I get all the reviews for a single place?
- Does the API have rate limits?
You need to perform multiple requests incrementing the offset until you get a response without any reviews in it.
Yes, since Expedia is pretty strict at blocking requests you will be rate limited if you perform more than ten requests per second.
