Vrbo reviews
Read normalized Vrbo reviews for a listing — the same review shape across every platform.
Setup
If $STAYINGAPI_KEY is not set, read references/auth-setup.md and follow it to get and store the key. A stay_test_ sandbox key works for evaluation at zero cost.
When to use this skill
DO use when the user asks:
- "What do reviews say about this Vrbo place?"
- "Pull the latest Vrbo guest ratings"
Do NOT use when:
- You do not have a listing id — search first
Required headers
Every request needs:
- Authorization:
Bearer $STAYINGAPI_KEY - User-Agent: your agent's name (e.g.
ClaudeCode/1.0).
Base URL: https://api.stayingapi.com/v1.
Tools
GET /v1/reviews
Normalized, paginated reviews for one listing on one platform. Native rating scales are preserved and echoed alongside each rating (TripAdvisor/Airbnb/Vrbo use 5; Booking.com/Expedia/Hotels.com use 10) — never silently rescaled.
Key parameters:
platform— Platform enum.listingId— Listing id on platform.url— Full listing URL.limit— 1–100.cursor— Opaque base64 cursor.language— ISO-639-1 filter.
MCP (no key pasted into the agent)
On an MCP-capable runtime, connect https://mcp.stayingapi.com/mcp (OAuth 2.1 + PKCE) and use: get_reviews.
The cross-OTA advantage
StayingAPI is cross-platform: Vrbo data comes back in the same unified schema as Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Google Hotels, and the price-compare tool returns a computed min and median across every OTA — something a single-platform wrapper can't do.
Async & partial failures
A live call that has to scrape returns 202 + a jobId; poll GET /v1/jobs/{jobId} (free) until data.status is completed, then read data.result. On a fan-out, check meta.partial and meta.platformResults[].
