HomeToGo Scraper for Vacation Rental Metasearch Data

HomeToGo owns no homes. It lines up other people's offers for the same house and ranks them, so one HomeToGo scrape returns the same property priced several different ways on the same night.

How the HomeToGo data feed is built, delivered and kept alive

You get CSV, JSON, XLSX or an endpoint of ours, on whatever cadence the question needs. Nightly rate comparison runs daily or weekly against a fixed grid of dates, stay lengths and party sizes so the series stays comparable; catalogue fields, amenities and review history move slowly and a monthly pass covers them. One schema serves every storefront, because the identifiers are shared, so adding Germany, Japan or Brazil costs a locale setting rather than a second build.

The site is defended against automated clients, and a price only appears once a live query is made, so anti-bot handling, proxy rotation and CAPTCHA solving are part of the service. We run at a polite rate, work from pages any visitor can open, never sign in and never enter a checkout. When HomeToGo changes its markup we repair the scraper before the gap reaches your dashboard.

Fields we extract from a HomeToGo offer card and rental page

One row per offer, plus the object key that ties competing offers for the same home together. Rate and availability come from a dated search: HomeToGo holds no price until you name dates and party size.

  • Two identifiers, not one - the offer id, which belongs to a single provider and keys the rental page, and the rental object id HomeToGo gives the physical home. HomeToGo-booked offers use a sixteen-character hexadecimal id, channel offers such as Vrbo a thirty-two character one.
  • Provider - the supplier tag on each card: distributionHub for stays booked through HomeToGo, otherwise the channel or management system, among them vrbo, interHome, avantio, vacalia, trackPms and streamline.
  • Place and shape - city, county or region, country, neighbourhood, distance to centre, water and ski lift, the map point, accommodation type (house, apartment, condo, villa, cabin, hotel room), floor area in square metres, guests, bedrooms, bathrooms and the bed list room by room.
  • Rate and the rest of the bill - price per night and total for the stay including fees, the quoted currency, the struck-through original price with its early-bird or last-minute badge, free cancellation and its deadline, the refund percentage, utility fees and tourist tax collected on arrival, deposits outside the total, and the minimum-nights rule.
  • Availability - exact-date results, a flexible window of up to twelve months at a chosen stay length, and the deals calendar.
  • Ratings - score and badge from Good to Outstanding, review count, star distribution, review text, date and trip type, the provider behind each review, and the separate aggregate collected by providers, scored on cleanliness, equipment, hospitality, location and value.
  • Amenities and rules - private or heated pool, hot tub, WiFi, kitchen, air conditioning, parking, crib, wheelchair access, pet policy, smoking rules and check-in window.
  • Host and media - private or professional host, the trader statement under Union law, the registration-number pointer, Premium Host and Guest Favorite badges, the photo set from HomeToGo's image CDN, the provider's own description, and the headline, summary and FAQ marked as AI generated.

Fields we extract from a HomeToGo offer card and rental page
Deduplication, the offer-against-object split and the real total

Deduplication, the offer-against-object split and the real total

Two keys, because one home can be many listings. A house pushed out by three channels arrives as three records with their own ids, text and photos. HomeToGo folds them onto one object using position, capacity, layout, imagery and wording, then compares the providers holding it. That match is HomeToGo's judgement, so we ship both keys and every provider field: if your rules disagree, re-run them on our rows.

The headline number is not the number. A card shows a nightly figure or a total including fees, and the two are not interchangeable. Utility charges and tourist tax are often collected on arrival, deposits sit outside the total, and the currency follows the storefront. HomeToGo warns that price accuracy is the provider's responsibility, and its ranking notice says commission may influence result order. Each component gets its own column, and every row carries its dates, guests and currency.

Coverage is a grid, not a crawl. The dated search returns a bounded slice and relaxes filters once it runs out, so a large market has to be cut by sub-area, dates, party size, type and price band, then reconciled on object id. The sitemap gives geography, not inventory: roughly 9,000 addresses, about 2,581 of them city pages and almost no rentals.

Terms and personal data. The HomeToGo terms of service prohibit commercial use of the site and prohibit automated extraction of its content, so we say it straight and ask clients to have counsel sign off first. Host names and the names of review authors are left out; scores, dates and text stay.

HomeToGo is a vacation rental metasearch, not a listings site

HomeToGo does not own, manage or let a single home. It keeps a database of accommodation offers supplied by other people - booking sites, agencies, property management systems and individual hosts - and hands the traveller on to whoever is actually selling the stay. Its own terms of service say so plainly: HomeToGo publishes no offers of its own and works as the technical layer between provider and guest, with providers feeding fresh prices and availability through an interface at least once a day. That is what makes a HomeToGo scraper different from every other short-term rental source. Airbnb, Vrbo or a management company each show you one seller's asking price. HomeToGo shows you several sellers quoting the same house for the same week.

The company started in Berlin in 2014 and currently trades as HomeToGo GmbH from Pappelallee in Prenzlauer Berg. It runs in two halves: HomeToGo_PRO, the supply-side software and services arm, and the consumer-facing HomeToGo Marketplace. The group has absorbed a long list of European rental brands - Interhome, atraveo, Casamundo, e-domizil, Wimdu, Tripping.com, EscapadaRural, Agriturismo.it, CaseVacanza.it, Ferienhaus.de, AMIVAC, Kurzurlaub, Tourist-online.de, secra bookings and Smoobu among them - which is why so much of the supply arrives down a channel rather than from a host directly.

The consumer side runs as local sites in more than 30 countries, from hometogo.de and hometogo.co.uk through hometogo.com.br, hometogo.jp and hometogo.co.kr, with 35 language settings and 29 selectable currencies. The catalogue behind them is one pool: the same offer identifier resolves on the German storefront and the American one, so language, currency, ranking and marketing change while the underlying stay does not.

What HomeToGo price data shows that a single booking site cannot

Rate spread between channels, measured instead of assumed. The same house reaches HomeToGo from more than one seller, each with its own offer id, its own fee stack and its own number. Group the offers by object id and you have the gap between channels for one home on one date - the rate parity question every revenue manager argues about and almost nobody has evidence for.

Who really controls the supply. The provider tag names the channel or the property management system behind a listing, so a market can be split by operator: how much of a resort town moves through a single system, which manager prices highest, which channel holds stock nobody else has.

Market size and seasonality in one sweep. Every destination page publishes its own supply count and the number of partners feeding it - currently about 11,548 homes across 42 partners in Orlando, roughly 49,468 homes across 172 partners on Mallorca - alongside a week-by-week price and availability index for the year ahead. One pass returns supply, price level and the shape of the season for a whole country.

Distribution audit. Managers and hotel groups use it to see where their own units surface, under whose brand, at what price, and whether a partner is undercutting the direct rate.

Travel data feeds and underwriting. Short-term rental market data joined on object id gives analysts a clean panel: nightly rate, fee load, cancellation terms and review history for the same asset across several sellers over time.

Who builds and runs the HomeToGo scraper

ScrapeIt is a managed web scraping agency. We are independent of HomeToGo and of every provider behind it. We scope the job, build the crawler, run it on your schedule, watch it when the site shifts and fix it before you notice.

You never touch the pipeline. What lands is a file or an endpoint with the columns agreed at the start, in the same shape every run. Send us the destinations, the date grid and the party sizes you care about and we will come back with a field list, a sample extract and a schedule.

FAQ

Is there a public HomeToGo API for data buyers?

No. There is no open developer portal and no HomeToGo API you can register for and query for data. What exists is a commercial partner suite the company calls Doppelgaenger, reached through a contact form: white label, an API integration, ad placements, a pop-under and a travel agency hub. That interface is built to push HomeToGo inventory into someone else's booking funnel in exchange for commission, it is governed by a partner contract, and it is not a research feed - you cannot ask it for price history or for a market panel. The site does talk to its own undocumented JSON endpoints, but those are unversioned, tied to its pages and free to change without notice.

Can you scrape HomeToGo to show one home priced by several providers?

That is the main reason to use this source. Every offer carries a provider tag and its own offer id, and HomeToGo also assigns a rental object id to the physical home, which is what lets its interface show a price comparison across the providers holding that object. We keep both keys, so you can group by object and read the spread between channels for the same dates, or keep the offers apart and follow one seller. Where the same home reaches HomeToGo from a channel and from HomeToGo's own booking flow, both rows arrive with their own fee breakdown and cancellation terms.

Which countries and languages does HomeToGo scraping cover?

The marketplace runs local sites in more than 30 countries across Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia, with 35 language settings and 29 currencies to choose from. The inventory behind them is shared rather than split by market: an offer id opened on hometogo.de resolves to the same object as on hometogo.com, and only the language, the currency, the fee presentation and the ranking differ. In practice we pick the storefront whose currency and locale you want reported and run one schema against it, then add a second storefront when you need the same stay priced in another currency.

How fresh is HomeToGo price data and how often do you refresh it?

HomeToGo's terms state that providers deliver prices and offers through a technical interface at least once a day, so the catalogue behind the site turns over on a daily rhythm. Availability and the quoted total, though, are resolved per query: nothing is priced until the arrival date, the departure date and the guest count are fixed, and the same home returns different numbers for different weeks. So we agree a query grid with you first - which destinations, which arrival dates, which stay lengths, how many guests - and run it daily or weekly, stamping each row with the exact parameters that produced it.

Is HomeToGo scraping legal, and do you collect host or guest names?

Be clear-eyed about it. The HomeToGo terms of service restrict the site to private use, state that commercial use is prohibited, and prohibit the use of automated systems or software to extract data from it, for commercial and non-commercial purposes alike. We tell clients that plainly and ask them to have their own counsel approve the use case before we build. What we do control is how we work: public pages only, no sign-in, no checkout, a polite request rate. On personal data we default to leaving it out - host names and the names of review authors are dropped, while ratings, review text, dates and trip type are kept.
