HomeAway *

HomeAway was an Austin, Texas vacation-rental marketplace that connected travelers with owners and property managers of holiday homes, cabins, condos, and beach houses worldwide. It published a first-party HomeAway API (OAuth 2.0) for listing management, availability and booking synchronization, pricing, and guest communication, along with a Ruby SDK and the hacurl command-line tool from its GitHub organization. HomeAway was acquired by Expedia Group in 2015 and the brand was retired into Vrbo: homeaway.com now redirects to Vrbo and the developer platform is no longer maintained. This profile captures the genuine historical first-party API surface (SDK, CLI, OAuth auth model) that remains publicly available.

HomeAway * is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Vacation Rentals, Travel, and Hospitality.

HomeAway *’s developer surface includes authentication, CLI, and 9 more developer resources.
