Search Airbnb UK listings, fetch amenities, guest reviews, availability calendars, and experience slots via a single structured API with 5 endpoints.
What is the Airbnb API?
The Airbnb UK API covers 5 endpoints that return structured data from airbnb.co.uk, including accommodation search results, full listing details, guest reviews, day-by-day availability calendars, and experience time slots. The search_listings endpoint accepts a location slug plus optional check-in, check-out, and guest-count filters, returning up to 18 listings per page with coordinates, ratings, and total-stay pricing.

Typed, relational, agent-ready
A generated client with real types, enums, and the links between objects — the structure a flat JSON response can't carry. Autocompletes in your editor and reads cleanly to coding agents.

}About the Airbnb API
What the API Returns
The API exposes five endpoints covering the main data types on Airbnb UK. search_listings accepts a location string in Airbnb slug format (e.g. London--United-Kingdom), optional checkin and checkout dates in YYYY-MM-DD format, and an adults count. Each result includes the listing id, name, type, rating, a total-stay price, latitude/longitude coordinates, and a direct url. Pagination uses an opaque next_cursor field; pass it back in the next call to walk through results.
Listing Details and Reviews
get_listing_details takes a numeric room_id and returns the full listing record: an HTML description, an amenities array of name strings, images, host object (with name and is_superhost), rating, reviews_count, and coordinates. get_listing_reviews retrieves guest reviews for the same room_id, sorted by quality. It supports offset and limit for manual pagination and returns each review's text, rating, author, date, plus a total_count of all reviews on the listing.
Availability and Experiences
get_listing_availability returns a 12-month forward calendar for any room_id. The calendar array contains month objects, each with a days array where every entry carries a date, available boolean, and price. No pagination is required — one request covers the full year. get_experience_availability works similarly for Airbnb Experiences: pass an experience_id and receive up to 5 upcoming offerings, each with day, start_time, duration, is_available, remaining_capacity, and maximum_capacity.
The Airbnb API is a managed, monitored endpoint for airbnb.co.uk — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when airbnb.co.uk changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official airbnb.co.uk API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.
