2. Optimize Max Pages — Set maxPages to a reasonable level to get the depth of search you need. Each page crawls up to 30 location cards.
3. Utilize Dataset Views — Instead of downloading raw JSON with hundreds of nested fields, use the preconfigured Apify views (like Locations Overview or Contact & Details) for clean, ready-to-use CSV or Excel files.
4. Get Location IDs from Auto-Complete — To search for specific, precise entities or narrow geographies, you can first use the Tripadvisor Auto Complete actor to get the correct location_id, and then pass it here as an input parameter.
