Trivago

trivago (trivago N.V.) is a global hotel and accommodation metasearch engine, founded in Düsseldorf, Germany in 2005, that aggregates prices, ratings, and reviews from 250+ booking sites across more than 7 million properties in 190 countries and 31 languages. trivago does not hold inventory — its role is to surface the full competitive market and connect travelers to the best available deal, including member, loyalty, and direct-hotel rates that individual booking platforms do not show by default. For programmatic access, trivago is AI-native: it publishes a public, no-auth Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector exposing a search_hotels tool, an invite-only direct hotel-search API, and a partner Connectivity Suite (FastConnect for real-time rates and availability, plus a Conversion Tracking API). It also operates trivago Hotel Manager (Business Studio) for hoteliers.

Trivago publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Travel, Hotels, Accommodation, and Metasearch.

Trivago’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, support, engineering blog, and 13 more developer resources.
