How it works

1. Place metadata — Fetches place details (name, rating, address) via TripAdvisor's public Location API (fast, no browser needed)
2. Review pages — Opens each review page in a browser to extract review data from the rendered page
3. Pagination — Automatically navigates through review pages (10 reviews per page) until the desired count is reached
4. Anti-bot handling — Includes retry logic for TripAdvisor's DataDome protection with exponential backoff

Tips for best results

• Use residential proxy — TripAdvisor uses DataDome anti-bot protection. Residential proxy significantly improves success rate
• Start small — Test with 10-20 reviews first to verify the setup works with your proxy configuration
• Multiple URLs — Process multiple places in a single run to amortize browser startup time
• Rate limiting — The scraper adds random delays between pages to avoid triggering rate limits

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a TripAdvisor account? No. This scraper does not require any login credentials or API keys.

Does it need a proxy? Residential proxy is recommended for best results. TripAdvisor uses DataDome anti-bot protection that may block requests from datacenter IPs.

How many reviews can I scrape per place? Up to 1,000 reviews per place. TripAdvisor displays 10 reviews per page, so 100 reviews requires loading 10 pages.

What place types are supported? Hotels, restaurants, attractions, and vacation rentals — any TripAdvisor page with a review section.

Which URL format should I use? Use the standard TripAdvisor place page URL containing -Reviews- in the path. You can copy it directly from your browser.

Are the reviews in English only? By default, the scraper extracts English-language reviews as displayed on the page. The review language depends on the TripAdvisor page locale.

Can I sort reviews? Yes. Choose between recent (most recent first) and relevance (most relevant first) using the reviewsSort input.
