## Response

If successful, the response body contains the standard envelope. `data.results[]` contains the hotels, each with its price per night, total price, rating and amenities.

The following example is a real response, truncated: each list shows one item and long strings are cut.

## OpenAPI

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Stophy API
  version: '1'
  description: >-
    Every endpoint is a POST that takes its input as a JSON object body. Unknown
    fields are rejected with 400.


    Responses leave out empty values: null, empty strings, empty objects and
    empty nested lists are not sent.


    x-credits is what one call costs. Every call costs the same, whatever it
    returns, unless an operation's description says it costs per 10 results, or
    per second of audio. Then x-credits is the lowest price and x-credits-max
    the most one call can cost. Where an operation takes limit, send it to
    return fewer results and pay for fewer.


    When a response has a cursor, send it back unchanged with the same input to
    get the next page. When it has a page, send the next page number.
