# Currency

> Source: https://scrape.do/documentation/google-scraper-api/currency/

Currency parameter accepted by Flights, Hotels, and Shopping. Independent of gl, useful for multi-region price comparison

The `currency` parameter sets the response currency for the pricing-aware sub-APIs. It's independent of `gl`, so you can request EUR pricing from a US perspective for unified multi-region comparison without FX conversion on your end.

**Applicable to:** Flights, Hotels, Shopping. (Search, Maps, News, and Trends do not return currency-denominated values.)

## Where Currency Appears in Responses

### Flights

```
flights[].price                      // integer total price
price_insights.lowest_price          // integer
price_insights.typical_price_range   // [int, int]
price_insights.price_history[]       // [unix_ms, int] pairs
```

> [!WARNING]
> **Flights prices are integer units.** Sub-unit precision is dropped, so `price=149` in USD means $149.00, not $1.49.

### Hotels

Per-property pricing (`rate_per_night`, `total_rate`) is returned by the **detail endpoint** (`/plugin/google/hotels/detail`), not the listing endpoint. The listing endpoint accepts `currency` so the detail endpoint URL it returns (`property_details_link`) carries the same currency through.

The listing's `min_price` / `max_price` filters are interpreted in the requested currency.

### Shopping

```
shopping_results[].price             // formatted string in the requested currency
shopping_results[].extracted_price   // numeric (decimal precision preserved)
shopping_results[].old_price         // formatted string (when discounted)
shopping_results[].extracted_old_price
```

Shopping prices preserve sub-unit precision in `extracted_price`. For `price="$189.00"`, `extracted_price=189.00`.

## Combining with `gl` and `hl`

`currency` is independent of `gl`. Some useful combinations:

**British Shopping from London, GBP pricing:**
```
/plugin/google/shopping?token=TOKEN&q=laptop&hl=en&gl=gb&google_domain=google.co.uk&currency=GBP
```

**Turkish Hotels in Istanbul, TRY pricing:**
```
/plugin/google/hotels?token=TOKEN&q=Istanbul+hotels&hl=tr&gl=tr&currency=TRY&check_in_date=2026-05-01&check_out_date=2026-05-03
```

**Japanese Flights from Tokyo, USD pricing for unified comparison across regions:**
```
/plugin/google/flights?token=TOKEN&departure_id=NRT&arrival_id=LAX&outbound_date=2026-08-10&hl=ja&gl=jp&currency=USD
```
