Airbtics is one of those data providers, and we have been collecting Airbnb performance-related information since 2019. You can easily test this API via either RapidAPI or Postman documentation. Short-term rental management companies like Awning, PropR are using the Airbtics API to optimize their pricing better. 

PropR manages 300+ vacation rentals across South Africa and Dubai. They have their own pricing algorithms based on the competitors around their listings. They receive competitor rates from us on a daily basis to set the right pricing. 

Awning uses our API to show Airbnb income estimation to homeowners considering running an Airbnb. They have been able to generate thousands of leads from this income estimation tool, and now managing over 100 short-term rentals. 

How accurate are the API results by the data providers? 

Since you are accessing the data collected by a 3rd party company, accuracy may differ. The accuracy depends on how accurately they classify between booked nights by guests (revenue generating) and blocked by hosts (no revenue). 

Airbtics’ Airbnb Gross booking value prediction has been closely (97%+) matching with Airbnb’s quarterly financial report. We use various factors like pattern of bookings, number of reviews and many other factors to accurately identify the booked nights.
