## About

# RapidAPI Skill

Search Google Flights and Booking.com via RapidAPI scrapers. Secondary source for cash flight prices and hotel/vacation rental pricing.

## Authentication

`RAPIDAPI_KEY` is set in `.env`. All requests use `x-rapidapi-key` header.

## Google Flights Live API

Real-time Google Flights scraping. Use when SerpAPI results seem stale or you want a second price opinion.

  -H "x-rapidapi-host: booking-live-api.p.rapidapi.com" | jq '.'
```

## Rate Limits

Free tier: 100 requests/month across all RapidAPI APIs.
Use sparingly. Prefer SerpAPI for flights and LiteAPI/SerpAPI for hotels as primary sources.

## When to Use

- **Google Flights Live**: Secondary price check when SerpAPI results seem off, or for routes SerpAPI doesn't cover well.
- **Booking.com Live**: When you want Booking.com specific pricing/availability (different inventory than Google Hotels).

Do not:
- Use as primary search (SerpAPI and Seats.aero are primary).
- Burn through free tier on broad searches. Be targeted.
