How to Scrape Booking.com, a site that started in 1996, has become a significant endeavor in the travel and accommodation world. Millions of people use it for planning their trips because it's known for being easy to use. You can do a lot on the platform, like booking hotels, finding vacation rentals, and getting flights and cars. The website is easy to navigate and a popular choice for travelers looking for different places to stay around the world.
In this blog post, we'll look at how to use the Crawlbase Crawling API and JavaScript to get data from Booking.com. We'll cover everything from getting hotel reviews and prices to capturing detailed location data. The main idea is to smoothly work through the challenges of Booking.com and share tips on effective scraping. Let's explore the world of web scraping and see how Crawlbase Crawling API and JavaScript can help us to scrape useful data from Booking.com.

Understanding Booking.com Structure
HTML Structure of Booking.com Pages
In this section, we'll look at how Booking.com arranges its content using HTML. It's important to understand the Document Object Model (DOM) to scrape information effectively.
-
Overview of Booking.com DOM
- Check out the structure from top to bottom.
- Find the main HTML tags and features that shape the page.
-
Class and ID Naming Conventions
- Look into the importance of class and ID names.
- Get information using these element identifiers.
-
Nested Elements and Relationships
- See how elements are placed inside one another.
- Move through parent and child elements for thorough data extraction.
Identifying Target Data Elements
This part is all about figuring out the specific data you want to pull from Booking.com pages.
-
Defining Scraping Objectives
- Outline what information you need.
- Make clear goals for effective scraping.
-
Inspecting Elements with Browser Developer Tools
- Use browser tools to look at elements closely.
- Find and confirm the data you want accurately.
-
XPath and CSS Selectors for Targeting
- Introduce XPath and CSS selectors.
- Learn to make effective selectors to get exactly what you need.
Prerequisites for Scraping Booking.com
JavaScript basics
Before we start web scraping on Booking.com, it's important to know some basics about JavaScript, the programming language we'll be using. Get familiar with concepts like DOM manipulation, which helps us interact with different parts of a webpage, making HTTP requests to get data, and handling asynchronous operations for smoother coding. Knowing these basics will be really helpful as we work on our project.
Crawlbase API token
Now, let's talk about getting the token we need from Crawlbase to make our Booking.com scraping work.
First, login to your Crawlbase account on their website.
Once you're logged in, find the page called "Account Documentation" inside your Crawlbase dashboard.
Look for a code called "JavaScript token" on that page. Copy this code – it's like a secret key that makes sure our code can talk to Booking.com properly.
Now that you have this token, you're all set to finish setting up the other parts of our Booking.com scraping project for it to work smoothly.
Setting Up the Environment
Now that we have everything ready, let's set up the tools we need for our JavaScript code. Follow these steps in order:
- Create Project Folder:
Open your terminal and type mkdir booking_scraper to make a new folder for your project. You can name this folder whatever you want.
mkdir booking_scraper
- Navigate to Project Folder:
Type cd booking_scraper to go into the new folder. This helps you manage your project files better.
cd booking_scraper
- Create JavaScript File:
Type touch scraper.js to create a new file called scraper.js. You can name this file differently if you prefer.
touch scraper.js
- Install Crawlbase Package:
Type npm install crawlbase to install a package called Crawlbase. This package is important for our project as it helps us interact with the Crawlbase Crawling API, making it easier to get information from websites.
npm install crawlbase
By doing these steps, you're setting up the basic structure for your Booking.com scraping project. You'll have a dedicated folder, a JavaScript file to write your code, and the necessary Crawlbase tool to make the scraping process smooth and organized.
Fetching Booking.com search result page
Once you have your API credentials and installed the Node.js library for web scraping, it's time to work on your "scraper.js" file. Now, let's pick the Booking.com search results page you want to scrape. For this example, we're focusing on the Booking.com: San Francisco, California – Search Results.
To make the Crawlbase Crawling API work, you need to set up specific parameters and endpoints. First, ensure you've made the "scraper.js" file as explained earlier. Then, copy and paste the script below into that file. Lastly, run the script in your terminal with the command "node scraper.js."
const { CrawlingAPI } = require('crawlbase');
const crawlbaseToken = 'YOUR_CRAWLBASE_JS_TOKEN';
const api = new CrawlingAPI({ token: crawlbaseToken });
const bookingPageURL =
'https://www.booking.com/searchresults.html?ss=San+Francisco%2C+California%2C+United+States&checkin=2023-12-25&checkout=2023-12-31&group_adults=2&no_rooms=1&group_children=0&selected_currency=USD';
api.get(bookingPageURL).then(handleCrawlResponse).catch(handleCrawlError);
function handleCrawlResponse(response) {
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
console.log(response.body);
}
}
function handleCrawlError(error) {
console.error(error);
}
HTML Response:
Scrape Booking.com property data
In this example, we'll guide you on how to scrape property information from a Booking.com search results page. This includes details like property thumbnail image, name, location, rating, reviews, and prices. To achieve this, we'll use two JavaScript libraries: cheerio, commonly used for web scraping, and fs, which is often used for file system operations.
The provided JavaScript code utilizes the Cheerio library to scrape property details from a Booking.com search results page. It reads HTML content which you extracted from "scraper.js," in previous step, and then processes it with Cheerio, and collects information such as property name, price, rating, reviews, and image URL. The script goes through each property listing and saves the data in a JSON array.
const fs = require('fs');
const cheerio = require('cheerio');
const htmlContent = fs.readFileSync('response-booking.html', 'utf8');
const $ = cheerio.load(htmlContent);
const allLocationData = [];
const cardSelector = '[data-testid="property-card"]';
$(cardSelector).each((index, card) => {
const currentCard = $(card);
const extractText = (selector) => currentCard.find(selector).text().trim();
const locationData = {
thumbnail: currentCard.find('[data-testid="image"]').attr('src'),
name: extractText('[data-testid="title"]'),
address: extractText('[data-testid="address"]'),
roomType: extractText('ul.ba51609c35 li.a6a38de85e div.abf093bdfe'),
rating: extractText('[data-testid="review-score"] div.a3b8729ab1.d86cee9b25'),
review: extractText('[data-testid="review-score"] div.abf093bdfe.f45d8e4c32'),
price: extractText('span[data-testid="price-and-discounted-price"]'),
additionalFees: extractText('div[data-testid="taxes-and-charges"]'),
availabilityLink: currentCard.find('[data-testid="availability-cta-btn"]').attr('href'),
};
allLocationData.push(locationData);
});
const jsonData = JSON.stringify(allLocationData, null, 2);
console.log(jsonData);
fs.writeFileSync('allLocationData.json', jsonData, 'utf8');
