Airbnb Categories API - Themed Property Filter IDs

Request a category catalog for a destination query, optionally language_code. The documented body includes status, message and data items with id, title and image. Examples cover themes such as beach, cabins, tiny homes, amazing views and lakefront. Use an actual returned category id in properties-search.category rather than inventing a label or assuming category availability is permanent. This metadata route was not live-tested. Category themes are discovery groupings, not structural property types or guarantees about listing quality.

API Features

Themed destination category catalog The documented categories group discovery themes rather than only conventional building types.

Category title and image pairing Each documented item supplies a title and image alongside its machine ID.

Single property category input Use a returned category ID in the query-family category field for a themed search.

Refreshable discovery themes Read the current destination catalog instead of assuming historical category names remain available.

Frequently asked questions

What does a category record contain?

The documented response includes id, title and image for each themed choice. Use the current returned id as the property-search category value instead of sending a title or constructing a tag.

Does a category such as cabins replace property_type?

No. Categories are themed discovery groupings; property_type is a separate structural filter. Theme availability and labels can change, and this category route was not live-verified in the current set.
