Ixigo Hotel Reviews Scraper

🧾 What This Scraper Does

This tool helps you extract real traveller reviews from Ixigo hotel pages — including ratings, review text, stay category (like Family, Couple, Solo), and review dates.
Instead of scrolling through review pages manually, you just paste hotel URLs and let the scraper gather everything for you in a structured format.

It supports multiple URLs in one run and can export results as JSON, CSV, or Excel, making the data easy to work with — whether you're analyzing sentiment, researching hotels, or building something around travel insights.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

• The Actor is built to handle transient issues, including occasional failed requests or network hiccups.

• Failed requests are automatically retried using a smart exponential backoff strategy.

• Proper proxy rotation and session management ensure that data extraction remains consistent and uninterrupted.

• What this means for you: occasional warnings in logs are normal and do not indicate a failure — the Actor will continue fetching until the requested data is collected or retries are exhausted.
