How health is measured
  • Health = the share of calls that returned data, in percent. Empty results, failures and unknown outcomes do not count as returning data.
  • Levels: 90% and above is healthy, 70% and above is available, 40% and above is limited; anything lower is mostly down.
  • A period (the last 24 hours, one hour or one day) gets a score only once it has at least 50 calls. Periods with fewer calls show as normal: a few failures among a handful of calls do not mean the API is down.
  • Calls include real customer calls and our own daily probe calls. Request errors (wrong parameters, no balance) are excluded.
  • Average time counts only calls that completed normally: response time for sync calls, acceptance to completion for async ones.

Retrieve car-rental quotes from Expedia. Accepts these parameters: check_out, drop_off_date, keyword, pick_up_date, and check_in. Returns these fields: attributes, rating_scale, price, and price_total.

Price $1.39 per 1,000 requests ($0.001389 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

Request parameters

NameInTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
AuthorizationheaderstringYes-Bearer followed by your API key. Create it in the console; never put it in a URL or a code repository.
platformbodystringYesexpediaPlatform identifier, fixed value.
actionbodystringYescar_rentalCapability identifier, fixed value.
keywordbody.paramsNot declaredYes-Specifies the hotel destination for search actions or the pick-up location or full Expedia carsearch URL for car_rental. When a full URL is provided for car_rental, its embedded parameters override standalone date inputs. It does not query flight availability.
check_inbody.paramsNot declaredNo-Serves as a compatibility alias for car_rental pick-up dates and is evaluated only when pick_up_date is omitted. It does not filter hotel check-in dates on this endpoint.
check_outbody.paramsNot declaredNo-Serves as a compatibility alias for car_rental drop-off dates and is evaluated only when drop_off_date is omitted. It does not filter hotel check-out dates on this endpoint.
drop_off_datebody.paramsNot declaredNo-Specifies the car rental drop-off date using YYYY-MM-DD format. If a pick-up date is provided without a drop-off date, the system defaults to the same day, so an explicit later date should be provided. Omitting the pick-up date causes default date pairs to override a standalone drop-off date.
pick_up_datebody.paramsNot declaredNo-Specifies the car rental pick-up date using YYYY-MM-DD format and takes precedence over check_in. If omitted, default timing is set to 30 days from today with a 2-day duration. Rental queries fix pick-up and drop-off times at 10:30 AM, so arbitrary time slot availability cannot be assumed.

Response example

Real response

Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the source does not provide are never made up.

FieldMeaning
idThe record's unique ID on the source platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
urlLink to the record on the source platform.
titleTitle. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts).
vehicle_categoryKeeps the platform's own meaning
vendor_nameKeeps the platform's own meaning
pricePrice as a number without a currency symbol; see currency.
price_totalKeeps the platform's own meaning
ratingRating. The scale varies by platform: rating_scale on the same row gives the maximum (usually 5; Booking, Douban, iQIYI and NAVER use 10). Convert with rating_scale before comparing across platforms, or the comparison can come out backwards.
rating_scaleMaximum of rating in the same row: 5 for five-star scales, 10 for ten-point scales. Present only when the row has a rating.
rating_labelKeeps the platform's own meaning
attributesKeeps the platform's own meaning
pick_up_locationKeeps the platform's own meaning
drop_off_locationKeeps the platform's own meaning
pick_up_dateKeeps the platform's own meaning
drop_off_dateKeeps the platform's own meaning
pick_up_timeKeeps the platform's own meaning
drop_off_timeKeeps the platform's own meaning
image_urlImage link. Capabilities with several images may return an image_urls array.
platformSource platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).

Errors and billing

401
Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
422
Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
402
Insufficient balance. Top up first.
429
Per-minute request limit reached. Wait for Retry-After and try again.
503
Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
200 empty
The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).
