Implementation Reference

• index.ts:452-626 (handler)

  The main handler function that executes the tool logic: constructs the Airbnb listing URL with parameters, respects robots.txt, fetches the page, parses embedded JSON data using Cheerio, extracts relevant sections using a predefined schema, and returns structured details or errors.
  async function handleAirbnbListingDetails(params: any) { const { id, checkin, checkout, adults = 1, children = 0, infants = 0, pets = 0, ignoreRobotsText = false, } = params; // Build listing URL const listingUrl = new URL(`${BASE_URL}/rooms/${id}`); // Add query parameters if (checkin) listingUrl.searchParams.append("check_in", checkin); if (checkout) listingUrl.searchParams.append("check_out", checkout); // Add guests const adults_int = parseInt(adults.toString()); const children_int = parseInt(children.toString()); const infants_int = parseInt(infants.toString()); const pets_int = parseInt(pets.toString()); const totalGuests = adults_int + children_int; if (totalGuests > 0) { listingUrl.searchParams.append("adults", adults_int.toString()); listingUrl.searchParams.append("children", children_int.toString()); listingUrl.searchParams.append("infants", infants_int.toString()); listingUrl.searchParams.append("pets", pets_int.toString()); } // Check if path is allowed by robots.txt const path = listingUrl.pathname + listingUrl.search; if (!ignoreRobotsText && !isPathAllowed(path)) { log('warn', 'Listing details blocked by robots.txt', { path, url: listingUrl.toString() }); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify({ error: robotsErrorMessage, url: listingUrl.toString(), suggestion: "Consider enabling 'ignore_robots_txt' in extension settings if needed for testing" }, null, 2) }], isError: true }; } const allowSectionSchema: Record<string, any> = { "LOCATION_DEFAULT": { lat: true, lng: true, subtitle: true, title: true }, "POLICIES_DEFAULT": { title: true, houseRulesSections: { title: true, items : { title: true } } }, "HIGHLIGHTS_DEFAULT": { highlights: { title: true } }, "DESCRIPTION_DEFAULT": { htmlDescription: { htmlText: true } }, "AMENITIES_DEFAULT": { title: true, seeAllAmenitiesGroups: { title: true, amenities: { title: true } } }, //"AVAILABLITY_CALENDAR_DEFAULT": true, }; try { log('info', 'Fetching listing details', { id, checkin, checkout, adults, children }); const response = await fetchWithUserAgent(listingUrl.toString()); const html = await response.text(); const $ = cheerio.load(html); let details = {}; try { const scriptElement = $("#data-deferred-state-0").first(); if (scriptElement.length === 0) { throw new Error("Could not find data script element - page structure may have changed"); } const scriptContent = $(scriptElement).text(); if (!scriptContent) { throw new Error("Data script element is empty"); } const clientData = JSON.parse(scriptContent).niobeClientData[0][1]; const sections = clientData.data.presentation.stayProductDetailPage.sections.sections; sections.forEach((section: any) => cleanObject(section)); details = sections .filter((section: any) => allowSectionSchema.hasOwnProperty(section.sectionId)) .map((section: any) => { return { id: section.sectionId, ...flattenArraysInObject(pickBySchema(section.section, allowSectionSchema[section.sectionId])) } }); log('info', 'Listing details fetched successfully', { id, sectionsFound: Array.isArray(details) ? details.length : 0 }); } catch (parseError) { log('error', 'Failed to parse listing details', { error: parseError instanceof Error ? parseError.message : String(parseError), id, url: listingUrl.toString() }); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify({ error: "Failed to parse listing details from Airbnb. The page structure may have changed.", details: parseError instanceof Error ? parseError.message : String(parseError), listingUrl: listingUrl.toString() }, null, 2) }], isError: true }; } return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify({ listingUrl: listingUrl.toString(), details: details }, null, 2) }], isError: false }; } catch (error) { log('error', 'Listing details request failed', { error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error), id, url: listingUrl.toString() }); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify({ error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error), listingUrl: listingUrl.toString(), timestamp: new Date().toISOString() }, null, 2) }], isError: true }; } }
• index.ts:95-136 (schema)

  Tool definition including input schema for parameters: id (required), optional dates, guest counts, and robots.txt ignore flag.
  const AIRBNB_LISTING_DETAILS_TOOL: Tool = { name: "airbnb_listing_details", description: "Get detailed information about a specific Airbnb listing. Provide direct links to the user", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { id: { type: "string", description: "The Airbnb listing ID" }, checkin: { type: "string", description: "Check-in date (YYYY-MM-DD)" }, checkout: { type: "string", description: "Check-out date (YYYY-MM-DD)" }, adults: { type: "number", description: "Number of adults" }, children: { type: "number", description: "Number of children" }, infants: { type: "number", description: "Number of infants" }, pets: { type: "number", description: "Number of pets" }, ignoreRobotsText: { type: "boolean", description: "Ignore robots.txt rules for this request" } }, required: ["id"] } };
• index.ts:661-663 (registration)

  Registers the list of available tools, including airbnb_listing_details, for ListTools requests.
  server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => ({ tools: AIRBNB_TOOLS, }));
• index.ts:695-698 (registration)

  Dispatches tool calls named 'airbnb_listing_details' to the handleAirbnbListingDetails function within the CallToolRequestSchema handler.
  case "airbnb_listing_details": { result = await handleAirbnbListingDetails(request.params.arguments); break; }
• index.ts:502-538 (helper)

  Helper schema object used within the handler to selectively extract relevant data fields from parsed listing sections (location, policies, highlights, description, amenities).
  const allowSectionSchema: Record<string, any> = { "LOCATION_DEFAULT": { lat: true, lng: true, subtitle: true, title: true }, "POLICIES_DEFAULT": { title: true, houseRulesSections: { title: true, items : { title: true } } }, "HIGHLIGHTS_DEFAULT": { highlights: { title: true } }, "DESCRIPTION_DEFAULT": { htmlDescription: { htmlText: true } }, "AMENITIES_DEFAULT": { title: true, seeAllAmenitiesGroups: { title: true, amenities: { title: true } } }, //"AVAILABLITY_CALENDAR_DEFAULT": true, };
