Booking.com hotel prices for your dates skill for AI agents

Search Booking.com for a destination and dates, and collect each property's price, rating, review count, amenities, and breakfast info for the stay you specify.

What the skill does

It tells your agent when a request fits the Booking.com Hotel Price & Amenity Search Scraper Actor, which input to send and which fields come back (hotel, stay total, per night, currency and 41 more). The agent runs it through the Apify API with your token and gets JSON rows.

Install by hand

Save the five files into a folder named booking-com-hotel-price-and-amenity-search-scraper: ~/.claude/skills/booking-com-hotel-price-and-amenity-search-scraper/ for Claude Code, ~/.agents/skills/booking-com-hotel-price-and-amenity-search-scraper/ for Codex and most other agents.

The same five files as one download: booking-com-hotel-price-and-amenity-search-scraper.zip (5.8 KB).

Run it

Ask your agent in plain words, for example "hotel rate shopping", and it picks the skill from its description. Or run the script yourself:

export APIFY_TOKEN=your_apify_token
cd booking-com-hotel-price-and-amenity-search-scraper                             # the skill folder
node scripts/run.mjs                     # the example input
node scripts/run.mjs my-input.json       # your own input

Without an argument the script uses references/example-input.json. It waits for the run and prints the rows as JSON; for long runs SKILL.md shows the async API calls.

## When to use

Use this skill when the user wants:

Do not use it for private, login-protected or paywalled data.

- `name`: Hotel
- `price`: Stay total
- `pricePerNight`: Per night
- `currency`: Currency
- `rating`: Rating
- `reviewCount`: Reviews

- `stars`: Stars
- `propertyType`: Type
- `city`: City

All 45 declared fields: `references/output-fields.json`.

## Inputs

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `mode` | string | no | search | Search a destination, or load specific Booking.com hotel URLs. |
| `destination` | string | no |  | City, region or landmark to search, e.g. Paris, New York or Tokyo. Required in search mode. |
| `startUrls` | array | no | [] | Booking.com hotel page URLs, used in details mode. Copy links from a search result or your browser. |
| `checkIn` | string | no |  | Check-in date as YYYY-MM-DD. Leave empty to use tomorrow. |
| `checkOut` | string | no |  | Check-out date as YYYY-MM-DD. Leave empty to use a 3-night stay. |
| `adults` | integer | no | 2 | Number of adult guests. |
| `rooms` | integer | no | 1 | Number of rooms needed. |
| `propertyType` | string | no | all | Keep only one Booking.com property type, or search all types. |
| `minReviewScore` | number | no | 0 | Minimum guest score from 0 to 10. The actor applies Booking.com's score filter and then keeps only properties at or above this exact score. |
| `stars` | string | no | 0 | Keep only properties with this star rating, or any star rating. |
| `freeCancellation` | boolean | no | false | Return properties with at least one free-cancellation rate. |
| `breakfast` | boolean | no | false | Return properties with a breakfast-included rate. |
| `pool` | boolean | no | false | Return properties that have a swimming pool. |
| `minPrice` | number | no |  | Optional lower bound for the nightly price in the chosen currency. |

7 more optional fields on the Actor's Input tab.

Example (`references/example-input.json`):

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "destination": "Paris",
  "checkIn": "2026-12-01",
  "checkOut": "2026-12-03",
  "adults": 2,
  "rooms": 1,
  "currency": "USD",
  "maxItems": 20,
  "includeRooms": false
}
```

The input passes the Actor's input schema (checked at every publish). First run: `maxItems` = 20, small enough for the 300-second sync wait; raise it once the rows look right.

## Run it

Set `APIFY_TOKEN`, then call the synchronous endpoint for small and medium runs (it waits up to 300 seconds):

```bash
curl -s -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/nimbryxo-studio~booking-com-hotel-price-and-amenity-search-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @references/example-input.json > output.json
```

Or with Node 18+: `node scripts/run.mjs [input.json]`.

For large runs, start an async run and read its dataset when it finishes:

```bash
RUN=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/nimbryxo-studio~booking-com-hotel-price-and-amenity-search-scraper/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @references/example-input.json)
RUN_ID=$(echo "$RUN" | jq -r '.data.id'); DATASET=$(echo "$RUN" | jq -r '.data.defaultDatasetId')
curl -s "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN_ID?waitForFinish=60" -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" | jq -r '.data.status'
curl -s "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/$DATASET/items?format=json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" > output.json
```

## Cost and limits

- Apify bills the Actor's usage on your account; the Actor's Pricing tab shows the current price.
- Keep the limit in the input small for a first run.

## Guardrails

- Public data only. Do not pass cookies, sessions or private account data.
- Do not use the output for spam, harassment or unlawful discrimination.
- Check the target site's terms and local law before running at scale.

Questions people ask

Which agents can use this skill?

Any agent that reads Agent Skills folders: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and the other agents the skills CLI installs into. The skill is a SKILL.md file plus a small Node script, so an agent without skill support can still follow the file by hand.

Does the skill cost anything?

The skill is free. Running it starts the Booking.com Hotel Price & Amenity Search Scraper Actor on your own Apify account, which bills the run at the Actor's Store price; the Apify Free plan includes $5 of usage a month.

What does npx skills add install?

The whole folder: SKILL.md, scripts/run.mjs and the three reference files, downloaded from this site and checked against the SHA-256 digest in scraperfinder.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json. Add -g to install it for every project.
