Hi,

Is there any way I can get an API key from Airbnb? The website says they are not accepting any requests at the moment. :(

Thanks. Josh

  • In your browser, go to the Airbnb web site
  • From the menu button at the top right, open More Tools > Developer Tools
  • Click the Network tab
  • In the Developer Tools, click the stop sign to clear the list of requests
  • Click XHR (this is the kind of event we want)
  • Move the map to generate a new search
  • Find a request with explore_tabs in the name, right click it to show the URL in a new pane.
  • Find the key= part of the URL and add it here

Haven't had a chance to test if the key works, but the url does contain a key

Thanks man!
