Since TripAdvisor does not provide any consistent open API for 3rd parties, in Apify we decided to make our own!
Get the data from TripAdvisor fast and straightforward. Scraper is now available for restaurants and hotels. It is suitable for such use cases as scraping TripAdvisor reviews, emails, addresses, awards and many more attributes of hotels and restaurants on TripAdvisor.
You can either enter the location and download the data from the dataset or send a synchronous request to actor endpoint and crawl all the information about a single place (hotel, restaurant) in 15 seconds.
You can extract a variety of data about a single place as well as about a full location including some of the most necessary information such as email
, phone
, price
and reviews
. It is possible to download data in various formats such as JSON
, CSV
, XML
and others for more reference see the Apify Docs.
Here is an example of JSON

The whole project is made by the web scrapping and automation platform Apify using the Apify SDK.
If you want to scrape a lot of hotels, restaurants for a given place and write the data to dataset this usage is just for you. Or you can buy Apify proxy and be sure you will have the access to TripAdvisor.com all time.
- Visit LINK TO Scrapper UI
- Fill input
- Click Run
We made a simple UI to make the interaction smooth. but if you prefer doing things yourself here is an input schema.
Actor accepts the following JSON
input:
{
"locationFullName": "Prague",
"includeRestaurants": true,
"includeHotels": true,
"includeReviews": true,
"lastReviewDate": "2019-01-12"
}
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
locationFullName | String | Name of location as you would entered to TripAdvisor search - It is assumed that the location is the first of the search results |
includeRestaurants | Boolean | If true result includes restaurants |
includeHotels | Boolean | If true result includes hotels |
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 |
If you want to get information about a single hotel a restaurant and you don't want it in single synchronous API call this usage is just for you.
Beware 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 place with rasonable amount 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 actor synchronously.
To get information about single hotel
the request body should be in this shape:
{
"hotelId": "672866",
"includeReviews": true,
"lastReviewDate": "2010-01-12"
}
To get information about single restaurant
the request body should be in this shape:
{
"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 |
The Actor produces output as in data you can get section.
- Visit the Place Page such as
https://www.tripadvisor.cz/Hotel_Review-g186338-d1657415-Reviews-Park_Plaza_Westminster_Bridge_London-London_England.html
. - The id is the number after
-d
in the url. For this url it would be1657415
.
