search_staysLive search of Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia Group (hotel rooms) for the dates and party, verified against the map. Returns up to three picks (best overall, best value, closest) with receipts and tracked openUrl links. Picks within about a minute and the fine print after that, s…
get_stayThe card for a search by searchId: finished picks with receipts, or its running status. Free and instant. Use it to finish a search_stays call that returned 'running', or to read a shared stay (https://stayotter.com/stay/s_…). Each pick's stay card page on the site also draws th…
city_picksInstant and free: the latest finished standard search for one of the covered cities, about six weeks out, refreshed on a rota: whole homes for two adults and five nights in most cities, a six-adult weekend in New Orleans, Miami, Las Vegas, South Lake Tahoe, Sedona; stayType "hot…
get_activitiesTop-rated things to do on Viator for a search's spot and dates (what the trip is for first, the city's best otherwise), with a second place to look when the row is thin. Pass a searchId from search_stays or city_picks; intent overrides the search's own.
set_alertStarts the otter's daily re-run of a finished search, emailing the key's account when a verified pick drops 5% or $50 or the cheapest pick disappears. Needs a key (stayotter.com/connect); the first alert is free with an account, more are Pro.
check_listingReads one place the traveler found themselves into the receipts a pick carries: where it is, whether the street is quiet or lively, bars, cafés and restaurants within a ten-minute walk, the distance to a spot they name and, with dates, the lowest total and the lowest they can st…
watch_bookingFor a stay already booked with free cancellation: pass the confirmation email's text. The otter keeps five facts (property, dates, total paid, deadline, where it was booked), discards the rest (no names, confirmation numbers or card details), reads the property's rate every morn…
get_blockGround intelligence for one stay from a finished search: every bar and pub, café, restaurant and grocery within a ten-minute walk (counts, with + when the map read was capped in a dense center), the nearest stop and the walk to it, and map facts for walking back at night (bars w…
watch_similar_homesFor a whole home already booked (watch_booking, then the first morning's read found the nights taken by the traveler): watches other verified whole homes nearby for the same dates and party, and emails the account when one comes in at least 5% or $50 under what they paid, until…
