Output formats

Endpoints return JSON by default. The /v1/datasets/{id} endpoint streams data in either JSON or CSV — useful for downloading large async job results.

JSON (default)

Terminal window
curl https://api.stayingapi.com/v1/stays/1135700964697993602 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..."

Response:

{
  "data": {
    "id": "1135700964697993602",
    "title": "Beachfront flat in Estoril"
  }
}

CSV

The dataset endpoint accepts a format query parameter. CSV streaming is faster for downloads bigger than ~5MB.

Terminal window
curl "https://api.stayingapi.com/v1/datasets/ds_abc?format=csv" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..." > stays.csv
import fs from "node:fs";
import { pipeline } from "node:stream/promises";


const res = await fetch("https://api.stayingapi.com/v1/datasets/ds_abc?format=csv", {
  headers: { Authorization: "Bearer sk_live_..." },
});
await pipeline(res.body, fs.createWriteStream("stays.csv"));

Content negotiation

Both Accept headers and format= query params work:

  • Accept: application/json (default)
  • Accept: text/csv
  • ?format=json
  • ?format=csv

If both are present, the query string wins.
