## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## TripAdvisor Scraper — Hotels, Restaurants & Attractions

Scrape **TripAdvisor** places at scale — **hotels, restaurants and attractions** — with clean, structured data: **name, type, rating, review count, price range, cuisines, address, phone, website, coordinates, image and description**. No login.

TripAdvisor is one of the hardest sites to scrape (DataDome bot protection). This actor drives a **fingerprinted real browser over residential proxies**, so it gets through and returns reliable data.

### What you can do with it

- 🍽️ **Restaurant / hotel / attraction datasets** for a whole city
- ⭐ **Ratings & review-count tracking** for competitors or your own listings
- 📊 **Travel & hospitality market research** — price levels, cuisines, popularity
- 🗺️ **Map data** — every place includes latitude/longitude

### Three ways to use it

**1. Paste place detail URLs** (most precise):
```json
{ "startUrls": [
  "https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g35805-d236299-Reviews-Sofitel_Chicago_Magnificent_Mile-Chicago_Illinois.html",
  "https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g35805-d8841948-Reviews-Monteverde-Chicago_Illinois.html"
] }
````

**2. Paste a category URL** (scrape a whole city — recommended for bulk):

```json
{ "startUrls": ["https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g35805-Chicago_Illinois.html"], "maxItems": 100 }
```

**3. Search by location** (quick free-text):

```json
{ "searchQuery": "Rome, Italy", "contentType": "restaurants", "maxItems": 50 }
```

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `startUrls` | array | TripAdvisor detail or category URLs (Hotel\_Review / Restaurant\_Review / Attraction\_Review, or Hotels- / Restaurants- / Attractions-). |
| `searchQuery` | string | Free-text location search (best-effort; returns top matches). |
| `contentType` | select | `restaurants`, `hotels`, `attractions` (for search). |
| `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of places to scrape. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | **Residential proxy required** (TripAdvisor uses DataDome). |

### Output

Each item is one place:

```json
{
  "id": "8841948",
  "type": "RESTAURANT",
  "name": "Monteverde",
  "category": "FoodEstablishment",
  "rating": 4.6,
  "numberOfReviews": 425,
  "priceRange": "$$ - $$$",
  "cuisines": ["Italian"],
  "phone": "+1 312-888-3041",
  "website": null,
  "address": "1020 W Madison St, Chicago, IL 60607",
  "addressObj": { "street": "1020 W Madison St", "city": "Chicago", "state": "IL", "postalcode": "60607", "country": "US" },
  "latitude": 41.881,
  "longitude": -87.653,
  "image": "https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-o/....jpg",
  "rankingString": "#12 of 9,000 Restaurants in Chicago",
  "webUrl": "https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g35805-d8841948-..."
}
```

Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or pull live via the Apify API.

### Notes

- Works for **hotels, restaurants and attractions**. Field availability varies by place and type (e.g. `cuisines` for restaurants, `priceRange` where TripAdvisor publishes it).
- A **residential proxy is required** — TripAdvisor's DataDome protection blocks datacenter IPs. The actor rotates fingerprints + IPs and retries on challenge.
- For complete, precise city coverage, use **category URLs** (option 2) with your filters applied on TripAdvisor first.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

A city or place to search, e.g. "Chicago", "Rome, Italy". Ignored if start URLs are given.

## `contentType` (type: `string`):

What to scrape when searching by location.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

TripAdvisor URLs — place detail pages (Hotel\_Review / Restaurant\_Review / Attraction\_Review) or category/list pages (Hotels- / Restaurants- / Attractions-).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of places to scrape.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Residential proxy is REQUIRED — TripAdvisor uses DataDome bot protection and blocks datacenter IPs.
