Whether you're building a travel booking platform, an AI travel assistant, a corporate travel tool, or an accessibility-focused application, providing accurate accessibility information can make a meaningful difference for your users. The challenge is that this information is often spread across multiple Google services in different ways.

With SerpApi, you can integrate data from Google Flights, Google Hotels, Google Maps, and other APIs to create a unified accessibility search experience. You can retrieve details such as wheelchair-accessible entrances, accessible parking, elevators, accessible hotel amenities, airport accessibility information, and nearby businesses that meet a traveler's accessibility needs.

Getting Started with SerpApi

If you are new to SerpApi get started with this blog post:

Now that you are setup with SerpApi and have located your API key, let's take a look at SerpApi's libraries.

Libraries

In this example we will be using SerpApi's Python library.

To install the serpapi package, simply run the following command:

$ pip install serpapi

You can also make a simple GET request or for other programming languages, view our supported libraries here: https://serpapi.com/integrations.

Flights

Let's say you want to search for flights and you need certain accessibility features, first we'll start with the flight itself.

New to Google Flights? This post walks through the basics:

Google Flights API

Below is a simple example using SerpApi's Google Flights API. We'll be looking for a flight with these details:

• Airports: Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) -> John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)
• Dates: 2026-10-10 -> 2026-10-19 (Update these if they have passed)
• Roundtrip: type 1
  • For Return Flight: Collect and include the departure_token from the outbound flight output
  • For Booking Details: Collect and include the booking_token from the return flight output
• First available flight
  • In this example we're selecting the first available flight, however remember you can compare price, times, length, and more before selecting flight.

Example Query:

import serpapi

# Query SerpApi with already set parameters and additional input parameter (departure_token or booking_token)
def query_serpapi(parameter, token):
    client = serpapi.Client(api_key="YOUR_SECRET_API_KEY")
    results = client.search({
        "engine": "google_flights",
        "departure_id": "AUS",
        "arrival_id": "JFK",
        "type": "1",
        "outbound_date": "2026-10-10",
        "return_date": "2026-10-19",
        parameter: token
    })

    return results
token = ""

# Query the API initially for set dates and airports 
# Collect the departure_token for the first outbound best flight (if available, otherwise the other flights)
results = query_serpapi("", "")
if "best_flights" in results:
    token = results["best_flights"][0]["departure_token"] 
else:
    token = results["other_flights"][0]["departure_token"] 

# Query the API with the departure_token for the selected flight 
# Collect the booking_token for the first return best flight (if available, otherwise the other flights)
results = query_serpapi("departure_token", token)
if "best_flights" in results:
    token = results["best_flights"][0]["booking_token"] 
else:
    token = results["other_flights"][0]["booking_token"] 

# Query the API with the booking_token for both selected flights
flights_results = query_serpapi("booking_token", token)

# Access the airline from the results and print
airline = flights_results["selected_flights"][0]["flights"][0]["airline"]
print(airline)

Results

In this example we're just looking at the airline so we can confirm the accessibility details for this airline, however there is so much other relevant data such as:

• Airports, luggage, length, airlines, booking links, and more!

Looking at our printed result:

Delta

This means Delta is the airline for this flight. Now let's take this data and use additional APIs / search engines to collect additional accessibility data.

The Google Flights search engine doesn't have any accessibility filters built in so we must gather this data manually. SerpApi offers many APIs that are helpful to search for additional details like "Airline accessibility".

In this example we're just going to look at the airline which is "Delta".

Google Search API

For example, using the Google Search API with the query "Delta wheelchair accommodations".

Example Query:

import serpapi

client = serpapi.Client(api_key="YOUR_SECRET_API_KEY")
results = client.search({
  "engine": "google",
  "google_domain": "google.com",
  "q": "Delta wheelchair accommodations"
})

The first result includes details and links to a Delta site for "Wheelchairs, Scooters & Assistive Devices".

Google AI Mode API

Next we'll look at sending a more a prompt to Google AI Mode. This prompt will be more open ended '"Provide all accessibility options Delta airline provides including links".

Example Query:

import serpapi

client = serpapi.Client(api_key="YOUR_SECRET_API_KEY")
results = client.search({
  "engine": "google_ai_mode",
  "q": "Provide all accessibility options Delta airline provides including links",
  "hl": "en",
  "gl": "us"
})

The results include a breakdown of each accessibility option Delta offers including links to relevant Delta resources.

These are just 2 options for looking up additional accessibility information, however we offer many other APIs. You can also search for other specific details like the airplane or airport.

Accommodations

If you require booking hotels or accommodations, we offer a Google Hotels API. There are a few places we can see accessibility options within Google Hotels.

New to Google Hotels? This post walks through the basics:

Continuing with the destination and dates we used in our Google Flights example, we'll search for:

• "New York" as our query
• Dates from 2026-10-10 to 2026-10-19

Using the amenities Parameter

Google Hotels also offers an amenities parameter. You can see the full list of available amenities here.

Currently the only accessibility amenity filter is #53 "Wheelchair accessible". That means if you're looking for a wheelchair accessible hotel, we will set the amenities parameter to "53":

Example Query:

import serpapi

client = serpapi.Client(api_key="YOUR_SECRET_API_KEY")
results = client.search({
    "engine": "google_hotels",
    "q": "New York",
    "check_in_date": "2026-10-10",
    "check_out_date": "2026-10-19",
    "amenities": "53"
})

You'll receive all results that have wheelchair accessible set as an amenity:

The unfortunate limitation to this is that there is only a filter for Wheelchair accessibility but not any other accessibility options. However, Google Hotels doesn't stop there.

Using the Property Details Results

There are a lot more details you can get for a specific property by opening the property details. To do this you need to extract the property_token from the properties results for the location you want to view further.

For the example above, the first property had the property_token "ChgI9YDx8qji4HIaDS9nLzExZzY4eWZ4MncQAQ".

Let's use this property token and query the Google Hotels API again with the amenities filter removed as well.

Example Query:

import serpapi

client = serpapi.Client(api_key="YOUR_SECRET_API_KEY")
results = client.search({
  "engine": "google_hotels",
  "q": "New York",
  "check_in_date": "2026-10-10",
  "check_out_date": "2026-10-19",
  "property_token": "ChgI9YDx8qji4HIaDS9nLzExZzY4eWZ4MncQAQ"
})

Now you can see the full details for that specific hotel:

Now that we have the property details pulled up, there are a few places you can see accessibility details such as the rates, amenities, or amenities_detailed sections.

Results: rates

Some hotels have accessible specific booking options.

For example: Hearing Accessible (Roll-in) Shower

Using the results from above, if we want to compile the rooms that say "Accessible", we could do something like this:

accessible_rooms = []
for booking in results["featured_prices"]:
    for room in booking["rooms"]:
        name = room["name"]
        if ("Accessible" in name):
            accessible_rooms.append(booking)

This will create a list of all the accessible rooms including the booking details.

Results: amenities

Within the place details you can also see the full list of amenities, these can differ between what the location lists.

For example this location lists "Accessible" and "Accessible elevator".

"amenities":
[
..........
"Accessible",
"Accessible elevator",
"Private bathroom",
"Bathtub in some rooms",
...........
],

Using the results from the example above again, you can collect all of the Accessible amenities for this location:

accessible_amenities = []
for amenity in results["amenities"]:
    if "accessible" in amenity.lower():
        accessible_amenities.append(amenity)

This will create a list of all the accessible amenities.

Results: amenities_detailed

Similarly to the amenities field, this lists accessible amenities with some additional details.

"amenities_detailed":
{
"groups":[
...........
  {
    "title":
    "Accessibility",
    "list":[
      {
        "title": "Accessible",
        "available": true
      },
      {
        "title": "Accessible elevator",
        "available": true
      }
    ]
  },
...........

Using our results from above once again, you can collect all of the Accessible amenities for this location:

accessible_amenities = []
amenities_detailed = results["amenities_detailed"]
for group in amenities_detailed["groups"]:
    for item in group["list"]:
        title = item["title"].lower()
        if "accessible" in title:
            accessible_amenities.append(title)

This will create a list of all the accessible amenities.

Locations / Places

Last but definitely not least are the APIs supporting locations and places. We're primarily going to discuss the Google Maps API, however there are more APIs that may be helpful. Each has a unique set of input parameters, output fields, and reviews you can gather accessibility details from.

Whether you are confirming the Hotel accessibility, looking for food or activity accessible places, or reading reviews to ensure the location's accessibility is accurate.

Google Maps API

Let's query the Google Maps API using a simple query of "Coffee"

import serpapi

client = serpapi.Client(api_key="YOUR_SECRET_API_KEY")
results = client.search({
  "engine": "google_maps",
  "q": "Coffee"
})

When locations have accessibility listed you can access it in the local_results within the extensions array for each location.

Using the results from above, collecting the accessibility information for each one would look like:

locations = {}
for result in results["local_results"]:
    title = result["title"]
    for item in result["extensions"]:
        if "accessibility" in item:
            locations[title] = item["accessibility"]

Google Maps Reviews API

You can also read the full reviews for a specific location and identify if there were any negatives regarding the locations accessibility.

The Google Maps Reviews API requires the data_id which you can collect from the Google Maps API results within the data_id field. For this example we'll be using the data_id 0x89b7adf9f755c29d:0xed4e7f8d582eca3.

You can also use the query parameter to filter the queries to relevant keywords. We'll set this to "Accessible" for this example.

The code will look like this:

import serpapi

client = serpapi.Client(api_key="YOUR_SECRET_API_KEY")
results = client.search({
  "engine": "google_maps_reviews",
  "data_id": "0x89b7adf9f755c29d:0xed4e7f8d582eca3",
  "query": "Accessible"
})
print(results)

You can see any comments within the review itself. In this case it states the shopping center is accessible however the cafe door is not. Also the table height is good for wheelchairs.

You can also see the answers to questions, in this case the question asks "Wheelchair accessible":

Additional APIs

While we won't be doing full examples with the remaining APIs, these also have accessibility details. You can view the documentation page via the link on each title.

Apple Maps API

The Apple Maps API offer accessibility details within the ["amenities"] array.

Example amenities result:

"amenities":[
...........
{
  "name": "Wheelchair Accessible",
  "id": "crossbusiness.accessibility_features.wheelchair_accessible"
},
...........

Tripadvisor Search API / Yelp Search API

The Tripadvisor Search API and Yelp Search API don't provide any accessibility details on the search engines themselves.

However, you can use the Tripadvisor or Yelp search results to find relevant locations.

Then utilize the the place_id to search for reviews for a specific location.

Tripadvisor Reviews API

• Utilizing the place_id, iterate through each page of reviews and search manually for specific keywords.

Example Review:

"position": 1587,
"title": "Food good, bathroom a disaster",
"snippet": 
..............
Ladies Bathroom: not very clean, small with only 2 stalls...what's up with that? They serve endless coffee, but only 2 stalls? Disabled (larger of the 2) not ADA compliant and since I am disabled, I had challenges. Bathroom being redone, but apparently quite slowly. They should make it a priority!",
..............

Yelp Reviews API

• Then utilize the the place_id to search for reviews for a specific location.
• Yelp Reviews offers a q parameter as well to include relevant keywords.

Example Review:

"comment": {
  "text": "Drink was 10/10 parking was easily accessible
  .....
},
