airbnb

A scraping guide for Airbnb home-search pages. Airbnb is a website for finding and booking short-term stays, and its search results include listing data inside the returned page.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to collect listings from Airbnb home-search URLs. It helps extract the search data embedded in the page and follow additional result pages.
Why use it?
You do not need to run a browser or replay Airbnb’s internal request to read public search results. A normal request can retrieve the page data and its pagination cursors.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

airbnb scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 172 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Airbnb (airbnb.com)

Airbnb's search results page renders fully on the server and ships all listing data inline as JSON. There is no anti-bot wall on /s/<location>/homes — a single fetch with a normal browser User-Agent returns HTTP 200 + ~900KB of HTML containing every listing on the page. Pagination is a flat list of opaque cursors discoverable from page 1.

Detection

Signal Value
CDN Akamai (akamai-request-bc header)
Origin nginx, x-instrumentation: airbnb
Framework Custom Airbnb "Niobe" GraphQL client + React SSR
Anti-bot None on /s/ HTML (Arkose Labs only on POST flows)
Auth Not required for search
robots.txt Allows /s/ for major UAs

curl -sL returns 200 immediately. No challenge, no JS check, no cookies needed beyond what the response sets.

Architecture

  • React SSR app shell at /s/:location?/homes/:additionalRefinements?.
  • Search payload comes from the internal Niobe GraphQL endpoint (StaysSearch operation), but the SSR pass already inlines the response in the HTML. There is no need to replay the GraphQL endpoint.
  • The inlined JSON lives in one of two script tags depending on which render path served the request:
    1. <script id="data-deferred-state-0"> — streaming/deferred render. This is what plain fetch from Node usually gets. Path to listings: niobeClientData[0][1].data.presentation.staysSearch.results.searchResults.
    2. <script id="data-injector-instances"> — fully inlined render (sometimes served to curl/cached). Path to listings: root[3][1][2][1].data.presentation.staysSearch.results.searchResults.
  • Both paths land at the same presentation.staysSearch.results shape, so a stack-based walk that looks for o.staysSearch.results.searchResults works on either.
  • Each page returns 18 results in searchResults. The map carousel (mapResults.mapSearchResults, ~20) overlaps but isn't needed.
  • Pagination is a flat list of base64 cursors at staysSearch.results.paginationInfo.pageCursors (typically 15 cursors → ~270 listings cap per query). Append ?cursor=<urlencoded base64> to the same URL.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

airbnb is a skill published in the GitHub repository AgentComputerAI/torch (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 121 tokens to every session and 2,688 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
