Trivago scores B+ on Supergood's API Report Card. The trivago Connectivity Suite has three partner APIs: pull based FastConnect for live rates, a Conversion API for booking tracking, and Express Booking with an OpenAPI spec on GitHub. All are gated by a Get Listed application and a Technical Account Manager engagement.
Trivago has a workable official integration path. Most engineering teams can build against it directly. Solid API with minor gaps
Trivago N.V. is a Düsseldorf-headquartered global hotel metasearch and price-comparison engine that aggregates room rates and availability from 400+ online travel agencies, hotel chains, and direct-supplier websites and presents them in a single side-by-side comparison on trivago.com and its 50+ localized country domains and mobile apps.
Vertical: misc (closest Supergood neighbors are Travel & Expense and POS/Hospitality, but the product is fundamentally a consumer-facing metasearch marketing surface, not vertical operations software). Target market is two-sided. A consumer enters a destination, dates, and occupancy on trivago.com or the mobile app; Trivago fans out the request to 400+ OTAs and direct suppliers via FastConnect to retrieve live prices, then renders a ranked deal list.
Medium-to-high consumer brand, narrow B2B partner base.
Hotel inventory mapping graph, trivago's internal property database mapping ~3M+ accommodations across 400+ advertisers' inventory feeds. Live rates and availability ingested in real time via FastConnect per user search (200k+ peak concurrent users, <120ms median API latency).
Founded 2005 in Düsseldorf (21 years old as of 2026). Majority acquired by Expedia in 2013; IPO on NASDAQ in December 2016 (ticker TRVG).
All three APIs are partner-only with a 'Get Listed' application gate and Technical Account Manager assignment, no public self-serve developer tier, no published sandbox keys. FastConnect protocol, auth method, request/response schema, and rate limits are not publicly published; partners must coordinate everything through their TAM, making cost and feasibility hard to estimate before engagement.

Common alternatives include Google Hotel Ads / Google Hotels, Kayak (Booking Holdings), TripAdvisor (incl. Viator), HotelsCombined (Booking Holdings), Skyscanner (Trip.com Group), Wego. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Trivago scores GOOD on MCP availability. Trivago publishes an official hosted MCP server with tools for accommodation search, radius search, and destination price trends. Public docs at mcp.trivago.com cover connecting from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and VS Code with no API keys required.
Yes. Trivago publishes an official MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex can connect to it directly. Setup instructions are in the vendor's documentation.
