Fewo-direkt Vacation Rentals Skill Pack Files

Fewo-direkt Vacation Rentals

German-language Vrbo/Expedia property (fewo-direkt.de). Sister sites listed in the footer: Vrbo (com), Abritel.fr, Bookabach.co.nz, Stayz.com.au — all share the same Expedia codebase. This pack reflects a single shallow exploration session focused on Brandenburg vacation rentals — search results page and one detail page were inspected; large parts of the platform were not exercised.

Browser Access

No login required for browsing search results or opening listing detail pages. A consent dialog (Cookie banner with "Akzeptieren / Alle ablehnen") shows on first visit. Detail pages render heavy lazy-loaded React — only above-the-fold content is in initial DOM.

Known Surface Map

URL pattern	Purpose	Confidence
/	Homepage with destination/date/guest search	medium
/search?destination=...&startDate=...&endDate=...&adults=N	Search results page	high
/ferienwohnung-ferienhaus/p<ID>	Individual property detail	high
/Vrbo-Liste/<region>.dt-<id>	Speculative — observed in Hilfe links, returns 404 with my params	low
/lp/... / /helpcenter / /p/home	Marketing / help / partner	none

Confirmed URL Filter Parameters

Parameter	Effect	Notes
destination=<text>	Free-text destination	URL-encoded with + for spaces
regionId=<numeric>	Internal region ID — auto-attached after search	Brandenburg = 6049339
startDate=YYYY-MM-DD / endDate=YYYY-MM-DD	Date window
adults=N	Guest count (children count not yet tested)
sort=RECOMMENDED	Default sort	Other values not enumerated

Unknown: waterfront/amenity URL params (UI filter button observed but did not visibly map to a URL parameter), bedroom count param, price range, property type, distance-to-water filter.

Listing Card — Known Selectors

The result list does not expose stable test IDs in observation; effective extraction uses indirect signals:

Element	How to find	Notes
Listing detail link	a[href*="/ferienwohnung-ferienhaus/p"]	Each card wraps a link with id pattern p<digits>
Listing ID	regex p(\d+) from href	Numeric
Inline price	top_dp=<n> query param embedded in card link	Stays/week total in EUR
Card text block	walk up from anchor to ancestor containing "Schlafzimmer"	Innerhalb that card find title, location, beds
Title block	line above "Schlafzimmer · N Schlafzimmer · M Betten" in innerText split	Heuristic only

Scraping pattern that worked in session: collect distinct /ferienwohnung-ferienhaus/p<id> hrefs, parse top_dp for price, walk DOM upward to read surrounding text block for title/distance/beds.

Listing Detail Page — Known Fields

Initial DOM size is small (~1.3 KB innerText) — most content lazy-loads on scroll. Above-the-fold:

Field	How to find	Notes
Title	h1	Property title incl. region descriptor
Capacity	innerText "Platz für N Gäste"	German
Bedrooms / bathrooms / m²	innerText "N Schlafzimmer" / "M Badezimmer" / "Y m²"	German
Rating	innerText "9,X von 10" + count "M Bewertungen"	German number format (comma)
Highlights	"Highlights" section	E.g. "Tischtennis vor Ort"
Amenities	"Beliebte Annehmlichkeiten" + "Alle anzeigen"	German labels
Distance markers	"X Gehminuten" / "Y Autominuten"	Travel times to nearby places

To get the full description, sleeping arrangement, host info, and reviews — must scroll/wait for lazy content; no working pattern captured in session.

Filter UI

A "Filter" button is present on the search results header. Clicking it visibly opened nothing in observation — the modal may render in an off-screen panel or require a second interaction. The filter for waterfront is suspected to exist but was not located via the UI; URL parameter filterByAmenity=WATERFRONT was tried and returned 404 with the wrong path. Concrete waterfront filter mechanism remains unknown.

Known Domain Knowledge

• Pricing displayed as a 7-night total (e.g. "836 € für 1 Ferienunterkunft, 7 Nächte"), with per-night breakdown ("119 € pro Nacht"). Some listings include taxes & fees in the headline price; others surface them at checkout.
• "Premium-Gastgeber" badge marks certain hosts (Vrbo super-host equivalent).
• Region tabs in side panel: Potsdam, Cottbus, Brandenburg (city), Oranienburg, Eberswalde, Neuruppin, Bad Saarow, Rheinsberg, Werder (Havel) — each with its own regionId.

Known Gotchas

• Detail pages render only ~1.3 KB above-the-fold. Reading body.innerText right after navigation yields title, capacity, headline amenities, and distances only. Description, sleeping arrangement, host info, and reviews require scroll-and-wait.
• Filter button does not open a modal in a single click in observation — interaction model unclear.
• Some construced URLs 404. The /Vrbo-Liste/...?petIncluded=...&minBedrooms=... pattern returned a not-found page; the working search URL is /search?....
• Cookie consent banner blocks first interaction. Click "Akzeptieren" or "Alle ablehnen" before any other actions.
• Price displayed in card link's top_dp query param is a useful shortcut for bulk extraction without parsing visible card text.

Unknown / Not Tested

• Login, account, booking, messaging, payment
• Filter URL parameter encoding (waterfront, bedrooms, price)
• Map-based search interactions
• Property-type filter, accessibility, kid-friendly, pet-friendly URL params
• Sort orders beyond RECOMMENDED
• Description and review extraction from detail pages (requires lazy-load handling)
• Mobile site DOM
• Cross-region pagination
• Internal region IDs catalog (only Brandenburg=6049339 noted)
