ScrapeUnblocker Documentation

Three plugins turn live Skyscanner results into structured JSON: Flights, Hotels and Car Hire. Each one resolves free-text place names for you, runs the search on anti-bot-cleared sessions, and returns a full, sorted result set. All three share one API key and honour the parameters that drive real pricing:

market - the country you are booking from. Changes prices and available providers (e.g. UK, DE, US). Default UK.
locale - the language of the result text (e.g. en-GB, de-DE). Default en-GB.
currency - the currency of the returned prices (e.g. EUR, GBP, USD). Default GBP.

Try them in the dashboard first: app.scrapeunblocker.com/dashboard/plugins. Each plugin shows a live results view plus a copy-paste code snippet.

Flights

Live itineraries for a route and date. Every option returns with price, airline, departure and arrival times, duration, stop count, and a booking deep link to the exact fare. One-way or return, any cabin class, any passenger count.

Field	Required	Notes
`origin`	yes	Airport or city name (e.g. `London`). Resolved via autosuggest.
`dest`	yes	Destination airport or city name.
`depart_date`	yes	`YYYY-MM-DD`.
`return_date`	no	Omit for a one-way search.
`adults`	no	Passenger count (default `1`).
`cabin`	no	`economy`, `premium_economy`, `business`, `first`.
`market` / `locale` / `currency`	no	See above.

$su = new Client(); // reads SCRAPEUNBLOCKER_KEY

$result = $su->skyscanner->flights([
    'origin' => 'London',
    'dest' => 'Krakow',
    'depart_date' => '2026-12-11',
    'currency' => 'EUR',
]);

result = su.skyscanner.flights(
  origin: "London",
  dest: "Krakow",
  depart_date: "2026-12-11",
  currency: "EUR"
)

The response contains itineraries.results[], each with price, legs[] (times, airports, carriers, stop count) and pricingOptions[] - the pricingOptions[].items[].url is the deep link to that fare.

Hotels

Every hotel for a city and check-in/check-out window, with nightly price, total price, star rating, review score and count, distance and image. Pagination is handled for you, up to hundreds of properties per search.

Field	Required	Notes
`destination`	yes	City or place name (e.g. `London`). Resolved via autosuggest.
`checkin`	yes	`YYYY-MM-DD`.
`checkout`	yes	`YYYY-MM-DD`.
`adults`	no	Guest count (default `2`).
`rooms`	no	Room count (default `1`).
`max_results`	no	More results = more pages walked (~35/page, up to `300`).
`market` / `locale` / `currency`	no	See above.

curl -X POST "https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/hotels/skyscanner-quotes?destination=London&checkin=2026-12-14&checkout=2026-12-16&max_results=100" \
  -H "x-scrapeunblocker-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

from scrapeunblocker import Client

su = Client()  # reads SCRAPEUNBLOCKER_KEY

    destination="London",
    checkin="2026-12-14",
    checkout="2026-12-16",
    max_results=100,
)

import { ScrapeUnblockerClient } from "scrapeunblocker";

const su = new ScrapeUnblockerClient(); // reads SCRAPEUNBLOCKER_KEY

const result = await su.skyscanner.hotels({
  destination: "London",
  checkin: "2026-12-14",
  checkout: "2026-12-16",
  max_results: 100,
});

use ScrapeUnblocker\Client;

$su = new Client(); // reads SCRAPEUNBLOCKER_KEY

$result = $su->skyscanner->hotels([
    'destination' => 'London',
    'checkin' => '2026-12-14',
    'checkout' => '2026-12-16',
    'max_results' => 100,
]);

require "scrapeunblocker"

su = ScrapeUnblocker::Client.new # reads SCRAPEUNBLOCKER_KEY

result = su.skyscanner.hotels(
  destination: "London",
  checkin: "2026-12-14",
  checkout: "2026-12-16",
  max_results: 100
)

The response contains a hotels[] list with name, per-night and total price, stars, review score and count, distance, image and a link.

Car Hire

Rental quotes for a pickup location and dates, with the rental company, booking provider, car model, seats, bags, fuel policy, mileage allowance, cancellation/insurance flags, pickup type, and a book link per quote. Give the location either as a name (pickup, resolved via autosuggest) or as a Skyscanner location ID (pickup_entity) - one of the two is required.

Field	Required	Notes
`pickup`	yes*	Pickup place or airport name, resolved via autosuggest. *Optional when `pickup_entity` is given.
`pickup_entity`	no	Skyscanner location ID for the pickup. Skips the name lookup and targets that exact place - use it when a name is ambiguous or a town the autosuggest can’t reach. Overrides `pickup`.
`dropoff`	no	Return place name. Defaults to the pickup location.
`dropoff_entity`	no	Skyscanner location ID for the dropoff. Skips the name lookup. Overrides `dropoff`.
`pickup_datetime`	yes	`YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM`.
`dropoff_datetime`	yes	`YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM`.
`driver_age`	no	Default `30`.
`market` / `locale` / `currency`	no	See above.

A place name that can’t be resolved returns an error instead of silently searching a different location - pass pickup_entity / dropoff_entity to target a location exactly. The X-Pickup-Entity / X-Pickup-Name (and X-Dropoff-Entity / X-Dropoff-Name) response headers report the location that was actually searched.

curl -X POST "https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/carhire/skyscanner-quotes?pickup=Madrid&pickup_datetime=2026-12-11T10:00&dropoff_datetime=2026-12-13T10:00&currency=EUR" \
  -H "x-scrapeunblocker-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

from scrapeunblocker import Client

result = su.skyscanner.carhire(
    pickup="Madrid",
    pickup_datetime="2026-12-11T10:00",
    dropoff_datetime="2026-12-13T10:00",
    currency="EUR",
)

import { ScrapeUnblockerClient } from "scrapeunblocker";

const su = new ScrapeUnblockerClient(); // reads SCRAPEUNBLOCKER_KEY

const result = await su.skyscanner.carhire({
  pickup: "Madrid",
  pickup_datetime: "2026-12-11T10:00",
  dropoff_datetime: "2026-12-13T10:00",
  currency: "EUR",
});

use ScrapeUnblocker\Client;

$su = new Client(); // reads SCRAPEUNBLOCKER_KEY

$result = $su->skyscanner->carhire([
    'pickup' => 'Madrid',
    'pickup_datetime' => '2026-12-11T10:00',
    'dropoff_datetime' => '2026-12-13T10:00',
    'currency' => 'EUR',
]);

require "scrapeunblocker"

su = ScrapeUnblocker::Client.new # reads SCRAPEUNBLOCKER_KEY

result = su.skyscanner.carhire(
  pickup: "Madrid",
  pickup_datetime: "2026-12-11T10:00",
  dropoff_datetime: "2026-12-13T10:00",
  currency: "EUR"
)

The response is Skyscanner’s raw car-hire JSON: a quotes[] list plus a providers map and a query echo. Each quote includes car_name, vndr (rental company), price, seat, bags, fuel_pol, sipp, pickup_type, dplnk (booking deeplink path - prefix with https://www.skyscanner.net), prv_id (booking-provider code, resolved to a name via the top-level providers map) and an adds object of extras (unlim_mlg, incl_mlg, free_cancel, excess_insr, and other coverage flags).

What you can build

Price monitoring and alerts - poll a route, hotel or rental daily and notify when a price drops.
Fare and rate comparison - blend Skyscanner numbers into a meta-search page or internal pricing dashboard.
Market research - track how prices for a city or route move over weeks, by market and currency.
Travel content - generate “cheapest flights from X” or “hotels near Y” pages that stay fresh.

Skyscanner’s own partner API

Skyscanner offers a partner Travel API directly, and for some enterprises that is the right long-term route. It is worth knowing what it involves: you apply through a partner questionnaire, and approval is not instant - onboarding can take up to two weeks, granted at Skyscanner’s discretion based on your use case and volume. Details are on the Skyscanner Travel API partner page.

Our plugins are the shortcut: no application and no waiting. Sign up, add your API key, and pull flights, hotels and car-hire data the same day - from the dashboard or from code. If you later qualify for direct partner access, you can switch; until then, the plugins get you the data now.
