Common questions about the Kayak Travel Search API
What are the hotel and car search limits?
Both return an initial public results window, up to 30 results, for stays or rentals of 1–30 days. Hotels support one room without children. Cars use noon pick-up and drop-off at the same airport. Pagination is not available.
Do the returned prices include every charge?
Displayed hotel prices exclude taxes and may be nightly rates or stay totals. Nightly rates are null when unavailable. Tax inclusion in separate provider totals is not confirmed. Car deposits and other known fees are returned separately. Check final prices and eligibility with the provider.
Can I specify cabin class, nonstop flights or multi-city trips?
These flight filters are not currently exposed. Flight search accepts a single origin and destination, dates and adult count.
