Scraping hotel listings from numerous websites is one of the most common uses of Web Scraping Services. This might be done by keeping an eye on rates, creating an aggregator, or improving the user experience on existing hotel booking services.

This can be accomplished with the help of a simple script. We'll utilize BeautifulSoup to assist us to extract data, and we'll use Booking.com to find hotel information.

To begin, we'll need these lines of code to retrieve the Booking.com search results page and set up BeautifulSoup to assist us query the page for meaningful data using CSS selectors.

To avoid being blacklisted, we also pass the user agent headers to simulate a browser call.

Now let's look at the Booking.com search engine results for a certain destination. This is how it appears to be.

We could simply use this to divide the Html page into these pieces, each of which has information about a single object, such as this:

On closer inspection, you'll notice that the hotel's name is always preceded by the sr-hotel_name_class… While we're at it, let's obtain the number of reviews, pricing, and ratings.

We also attempted to obtain the hotel image and link, as well as other critical pieces of information.

This is how the entire code appears.

This provides all the information we require.
