Want to know how hotel prices shift every day? Now you can. We’ve just added a new feature to the Google Hotels API to give you more control and clarity over hotel pricing data with prices by dates for up to a full year.
What’s new
You can now retrieve a new prices_by_dates field in the Google Hotels Info endpoint’s response. This object provides day-by-day pricing for each hotel listing, helping you:
- Analyze price changes over time
- Detect pricing strategies (weekend vs weekday, holiday peaks, etc.)
- Power dynamic pricing and alert tools
How it works
To enable this feature, simply set: load_prices_by_dates to true. Optional parameters for customizing the date range are prices_start_date, prices_end_date, prices_date_range (supported values: month (default), three_months, six_months, year).
! Note: If the load_prices_by_dates parameter is set to true in the Hotel Info endpoint, the price will be multiplied by two.
Why it matters
With full visibility into price fluctuations across up to 365 days, you can now:
➤ Power smarter hotel comparison tools
➤ Monitor seasonal or promotional pricing trends
➤ Build more robust travel and booking analytics apps
