Api exception for pricing

[matej14086]

Hello,

I am trying to get prices for this property (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/33371350)
When I run
python ./stl.py pricing 33371350 --checkin=2023-07-01 --checkout=2023-07-08

I am getting APiException, after little digging I found out that airbnb returns
{'message': "Validation error of type UnknownType: Unknown type ThirdPartyBookingMessagesSection @ 'ThirdPartyBookingMessagesFragment'", 'locations': [], 'extensions': {'classification': 'ValidationError'}}

How can I fix this?

Hello @matej14086. I haven't run into this error before. I would need to spend some time looking into it. There may have been an API change on AirBNB's side. Please let me know if you find any more information. Also, a stack trace would help. Thank you!

I was looking to debug this error. But do you know where in the Airbnb website this endpoint is called?
/api/v3/startStaysCheckout

Hi @BertCly, Thank you for your question. However, I'm sorry to say that I don't know the answer.

Many of these APIs were used in older versions of the website, and so may have been deprecated or removed by now.

The best place to look would be in the Network requests tab of Chrome, and see if you find any matching requests. But it may be necessary to rewrite the script to use whichever new requests are being made. Such is the nature of a scraper, where the subject website is under constant flux.

Hi @matej14086 !
I don't know if it's still relevant as a question but on the __get_url function inside the Pdp class you can change the following:

data = {
            'variables':  {
                'request': {
                    'id':                                 listing_id, // set id here
                    'checkIn':                       None, // set check in date here
                    'checkOut':                      None, // set checkout date here
                }
    }
    }

Then in your run function inside the AirbnbSearchScraper class, you can access the pricing by accessing: listing['total_price']
