SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a targeted secondary source for real-time cash flight and hotel pricing when primary scrapers or APIs return stale or incomplete results, helping avoid missed pricing opportunities and inventory gaps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Google Flights Live Search: Query real-time Google Flights scraping endpoints for one-way and round-trip cash prices to validate or supplement primary award and cash searches.
  • Booking.com Live Search: Retrieve Booking.com availability and pricing for hotels and vacation rentals to compare against other hotel data sources.
  • Rate-limited, Targeted Checks: Designed for focused queries (price checks, hotel details) rather than broad discovery to conserve the limited free-tier request budget.
  • Use Case: When an award search returns unexpected cash fares or SerpAPI lacks coverage for a route or property, run a RapidAPI check for a second price opinion.

Quick Start
