OTA Flash Sale Data Scraping for Meta-Search Conversions
                     Flash Sale Deal Data Scraping: How a Meta-Search Engine Captured 18% More 
Conversions by Tracking Limited-Time Offers Across All OTAs
During global peak travel seasons—holiday surges, summer vacations, and regional festivals—
online travel agencies (OTAs) launch thousands of flash sales daily. Yet, most meta-search 
platforms miss 40–60% of these limited-time deals due to outdated feeds and manual updates. 
One leading global meta-search engine operating in 35 countries faced this issue, with travelers 
finding fresher offers on competitor sites. The solution: real-time OTA flash sale data scraping 
across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, MakeMyTrip, Skyscanner, and local players. By deploying a 
global OTA deal scraping infrastructure covering 50+ countries, they transformed deal tracking 
from reactive to predictive. The result was an 18% uplift in conversions, driven by intelligent 
aggregation and instant detection of limited-time hotel and flight offers.

Client's Challenge:
The global meta-search platform, a leading travel deal aggregator across North America, 
Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, faced challenges during peak travel seasons when 
limited-time offers influenced booking decisions. Their feed-based integrations refreshed every 
4–6 hours, causing missed opportunities as travelers found fresher deals elsewhere. Incomplete 
OTA flash sale tracking meant only about half of short-lived regional promotions were captured, 
especially flash deals under two hours. Competitors used localized scarcity messaging and 
countdowns, while their listings appeared outdated. They also lacked dedicated flash deal 
sections, losing 28% of users searching specifically for “flash sales.” Without Travel Data 
Scraping APIs to track live conversions and cross-market offer performance, they couldn’t 
optimize deal visibility, resulting in stagnant revenue and declining booking share.

time zones. Using high-frequency Travel Data Scraping APIs, data was refreshed every 15 
minutes across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, MakeMyTrip, Skyscanner, and regional OTAs in 
50+ countries. Our OTA Flash sale deal extraction network deployed distributed scrapers across 
18 regions for hyperlocal capture and limited-time offer monitoring across OTAs, ensuring only 
active promotions surfaced globally. The intelligent Travel Data Scraper classified flash sales
