}About the vrbo.com API
The Vrbo API provides access to vacation rental data across two endpoints: search_listings and get_property_details. A search returns up to paginated results per query including per-night pricing, property IDs, thumbnails, and listing URLs. The detail endpoint exposes 9 structured fields per property — name, location, bedroom and bathroom counts, sleep capacity, amenities list, description, and a primary image URL.
Search Listings
The search_listings endpoint accepts a required query string (e.g. 'Miami' or 'New York') and optional parameters for checkin, checkout, adults, and page. When date parameters are supplied, returned prices reflect availability-based nightly rates. Each result object in the results array includes title, property_id, expedia_property_id, location, price_per_night, thumbnail, and url. The results_count field tells you how many listings came back for the current page, and page tracks your position in the paginated result set.
Property Details
The get_property_details endpoint takes a property_id — the numeric string found in results[*].property_id from a search response — and returns a single property record. Fields include name, description, location, sleeps, bedrooms, bathrooms, amenities (an array of strings), image, url, and property_id. Integer fields such as sleeps, bedrooms, and bathrooms can be null if the source listing does not publish that data.
Data Coverage Notes
Pricing in search results reflects Vrbo's listed nightly rate; the detail endpoint does not return a separate price field. The amenities array surfaces whatever the host has listed on the property page and may vary widely in granularity between listings. Guest reviews, availability calendars, and host contact information are not included in either endpoint's response.

Does Vrbo have an official public developer API?+
What does `get_property_details` return beyond what search results include?+
title, price_per_night, thumbnail, location, and url. The detail endpoint adds description, amenities (as an array), sleeps, bedrooms, bathrooms, and a full-resolution image URL — fields the search results do not expose.Does the API return guest reviews or ratings for properties?+
Can I retrieve availability calendars or multi-night total pricing?+
search_listings endpoint returns a price_per_night value when dates are provided, but there is no endpoint for full availability calendars or stay-level total price breakdowns. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add an availability or pricing-detail endpoint.How does pagination work in `search_listings`?+
page parameter to advance through result pages. The response echoes back the current page value alongside results_count so you can track how many results were returned per page. There is no explicit total_results field, so you determine the last page by observing when results_count drops below the expected page size.
