Currency

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.)

Common Currencies

Any ISO 4217 currency code Google supports for the target sub-API can be passed.

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

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:
