Can someone explain what data is this returning?

This is our (Outpost) API and essentially its grabbing data using the Python framework Eve. It's currently returning almost all of our listings that we display on our site. Place rentals is the feed with the most data but we received a few requests to affiliate for the experience feed so expect more data from there in the future.

TL;DR it's a JSON feed of our MongoDB.

Some of the audience here hasn't heard of you before, and doesn't know what Outpost does or what kinds of data are available, and the linked page doesn't really say, or even have obvious links to find out.

Well the linked page is more for the API cause I didn't want it to sound to spammy. I'll add more of a description and upload it in a bit.

Are you scraping or do you have api access for homeaway and airbnb? When I asked a while ago I never heard anything. Thanks :)
