TripAdvisor Scraper

Get data from TripAdvisor fast and easily. A scraper is now available for restaurants and hotels. It's suitable for such use cases as scraping TripAdvisor reviews, emails, addresses, awards and many more attributes of hotels and restaurants on TripAdvisor.

Input - TripAdvisor Crawler

You can either enter the location and download the data from the dataset or send a synchronous request to the actor endpoint and crawl all the information about a single place (hotel, restaurant) in 15 seconds.

Output - TripAdvisor Export

You can extract a variety of data about a single place as well as about a complete location, including some of the most essential information, such as email, phone, price and reviews. Data can be downloaded in various formats, such as JSON, CSV, XML and others. For more details, see the Apify Docs.

Here is an example of JSON output:

API Usage

If you want to get information about a single hotel or restaurant and you don't want it in a single synchronous API call, the API is right for you.

Be aware that it might be impossible to maintain an idle HTTP connection for a long period of time, due to client timeout or network conditions. Make sure your HTTP client is configured to have a long enough connection timeout. If the connection breaks, you will not receive any information about the run and its status. However for a normal location with a reasonable number of reviews (~1000) it should not take more than 20 seconds. You can paginate the reviews using lastReviewDate property.

Here is a link to the part of Apify docs that covers running an actor synchronously.

1. Input

To get information about single hotel the request body should be in this format:

{
  "hotelId": "672866",
  "includeReviews": true,
  "lastReviewDate": "2010-01-12"
}

To get information about single restaurant the request body should be in this format:

{
  "restaurantId": "672866",
  "includeReviews": true,
  "lastReviewDate": "2010-01-12"
}
Name Type Description
restarantId | hotelId String Id of place - see getting id section
includeReviews Boolean If true result includes reviews for every place found
lastReviewDate String Date of last review that is included in results in format YYYY-MM-DD

2. Output

The actor produces output as data you can get by section.

Getting Id of Restaurant or Hotel

  1. Visit the Place Page, e.g. https://www.tripadvisor.cz/Hotel_Review-g186338-d1657415-Reviews-Park_Plaza_Westminster_Bridge_London-London_England.html.
  2. The id is the number after -d in the url. For this url it would be 1657415.
