Webscraping RequestGet from Airbnb not working properly - web-scraping

Question

This query is returning 0 or 20 randomly every time i run it. Yesterday when i loop through the pages i always get 20 and I am able to scrape through 20 listings and 15 pages. But now, I can't run my code properly because sometimes the listings return 0.
I tried adding headers in the request get and time sleep (5-10s random) before each request but am still facing the same issue. Tried connecting to hotspot to change my IP but am still facing the same issue. Anyone understand why?
import time
from random import randint
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests #to connect to url
airbnb_url = 'https://www.airbnb.com/s/Mayrhofen--Austria/homes?tab_id=home_tab&refinement_paths%5B%5D=%2Fhomes&date_picker_type=calendar&query=Mayrhofen%2C%20Austria&place_id=ChIJbzLYLzjdd0cRDtGuTzM_vt4&checkin=2021-02-06&checkout=2021-02-13&adults=4&source=structured_search_input_header&search_type=autocomplete_click'
soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(airbnb_url).content, 'html.parser')
listings = soup.find_all('div', '_8s3ctt')
print(len(listings))

Answer 1

It seems AirBnB returns 2 versions of the page. One "normal" HTML and other where the listings are stored inside <script>. To parse the <script> version of page you can use next example:
import json
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
def find_listing(d):
if isinstance(d, dict):
if "__typename" in d and d["__typename"] == "DoraListingItem":
yield d["listing"]
else:
for v in d.values():
yield from find_listing(v)
elif isinstance(d, list):
for v in d:
yield from find_listing(v)
airbnb_url = "https://www.airbnb.com/s/Mayrhofen--Austria/homes?tab_id=home_tab&refinement_paths%5B%5D=%2Fhomes&date_picker_type=calendar&query=Mayrhofen%2C%20Austria&place_id=ChIJbzLYLzjdd0cRDtGuTzM_vt4&checkin=2021-02-06&checkout=2021-02-13&adults=4&source=structured_search_input_header&search_type=autocomplete_click"
soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(airbnb_url).content, "html.parser")
listings = soup.find_all("div", "_8s3ctt")
if len(listings):
# normal page:
print(len(listings))
else:
# page that has listings stored inside <script>:
data = json.loads(soup.select_one("#data-deferred-state").contents[0])
for i, l in enumerate(find_listing(data), 1):
print(i, l["name"])
Prints (when returned the <script> version):
1 Mariandl (MHO103) for 36 persons.
2 central and friendly! For Families and Friends
3 Sonnenheim for 5 persons.
