The Google Travel Explore API helps you discover travel destinations based on your preferences. It provides curated destination suggestions with pricing, flight information, and accommodation costs for various interests and time periods. **Cross-linking**: - Use the destination's kgmid as arrival_id with the Google Travel Explore Destination API to get detailed flight options for that specific destination - Use the destination's kgmid with Google Hotels API to search for accommodations - Use flight details with Google Flights API for detailed flight searches - Departure_id accepts 3-letter IATA codes (e.g., "JFK") or kgmid with /m/ prefix (e.g., "/m/02_286" for New York)

- **Tool id:** `searchapi-io-google-travel-explore`
- **Provider:** [SearchAPI.io](/providers/searchapi-io)
- **Job:** [Google travel explore search](/reference/jobs/search-google-travel-explore) (`search.google-travel-explore`)
- **Price:** $0.004 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

## Output

The run's `result` holds the provider's answer. Signed in, `looot inspect searchapi-io-google-travel-explore` prints its fields.

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With `wait: 30` the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll `GET /v1/runs/<runId>`.

Example input with placeholder values:

<CodeGroup>

```bash curl
curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"searchapi-io-google-travel-explore","input":{"departure_id":"<departure_id>","engine":"google_travel_explore"},"wait":30}'
```

```js JavaScript
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "searchapi-io-google-travel-explore",
    input: {
      departure_id: "<departure_id>",
      engine: "google_travel_explore",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```

```python Python
import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={

    },
    json={

        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
```
