Maximum Results

The number of results you can scrape with Tripadvisor Scraper can vary significantly based on factors such as the input complexity, location, and website limitations. While the actor is designed to handle a large volume of data, it's important to note that:

• Tripadvisor's website may display different results based on input type and value.
• Tripadvisor may have internal limits that affect the scraping results.
• The actor itself may have limitations that are continually being improved.

For the most accurate results for your specific use case, it is recommended to perform a test run to determine the maximum number of results achievable.
