Proxies for travel fare data

Read the fares, hotel rates and availability that travellers in each market are offered, with sticky sessions for search and booking flows.

Recommended proxies

  • One sticky session per search.
  • Set currency and language explicitly.
  • Block images to save traffic.
  • Collect at the same local hour per market.

A setup that works

  1. 1

    Define routes, dates and markets to collect.

  2. 2

    Open a sticky residential session per search, in the market's country.

  3. 3

    Read the result list and the detail pages inside the same session.

  4. 4

    Close the session and start a new one for the next search.

Fares change by market

Airlines, booking sites and hotels show different prices by the country of the visitor, the currency, the site version and even recent searches from the same address. Collecting from one location gives one market's view. Country targeted residential traffic gives every market's view.

Search flows need sessions

A travel search is a flow: search form, results, filters and a detail page. Changing the address in the middle can reset the search. A sticky residential session of 10 to 30 minutes keeps the whole flow on one address, and the next search gets a fresh one.

Heavy pages, careful budgets

Travel pages load many scripts and images. Block images and fonts in your headless browser and read the data from the site's own API calls when you can; it often cuts traffic by more than half.

Travel fare data: questions and answers

Why do fares differ by country?
Sellers price by market, currency and demand. A local address sees the local offer.
How long should a session last?
Long enough for one search flow, usually 10 to 30 minutes. Set it with the ttl key.
Can I use datacenter proxies for travel data?
For APIs and sites that accept server traffic, yes. Booking pages that block server ranges need residential traffic.
