Find a dated price example for a published home when travel dates are flexible and the traveler supplied windowStart/windowEnd, nights and guests. Ask for missing details before requesting or showing any price; never substitute a default party or stay. Use the returned stayQuote.estimate to join a pending sample search. Checks at most four stays inside windowStart/windowEnd, through supported public readers only; narrow windows try weekly samples and broad windows try upcoming months. Preserve any requested flexible month or range. Nights, guests and currency stay fixed. Returns the actual selected request and quote; a sample never proves availability for other dates or the lowest price. If no suitable stay is found, quote is null and overall availability is unknown; diagnostics retain the attempted-stay count and last observed reason. Do not retry a completed unsupported host or upstream failure unchanged. When price is requested, finish checks for at most three promising shortlisted homes; do not check every card. Explicit travel dates must use get_stay_quote instead. Optional startingNightlyPrice is an advertised nightly starting rate only, with no confirmed dates, guest basis, fees or taxes; never multiply it into a stay total. No booking, payment or guest contact details.
