Tripadvisor Reviews Scraper

Hi Sojern, thanks a lot for reporting this!

Unfortunately, there has been an update on TripAdvisor overnight, that caused the scraper to stop working. The issue is now fixed ;)

Please try rerunning this Actor now and let me know how it works, thanks and happy scraping!

Dear Lucas,

I am writing to follow up on the scraper we discussed. After reviewing it, I believe the process involves calling the API for the maxcopell/tripadvisor integration, which then triggers the maxcopell/tripadvisor-reviews integration.

Once the scraping run is complete, I am unsure which dataset is the most appropriate to utilize. While maxcopell/tripadvisor appears to lack some data fields, maxcopell/tripadvisor-reviews seems to incorporate data from both integrations.

Additionally, I noticed that the user value is consistently null within maxcopell/tripadvisor-reviews. Would you be able to investigate this issue as well?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Yes, please use the maxcopell/tripadvisor-reviews output, as that is being run from the integration and merging the data into a single output. The maxcopell/tripadvisor dataset is basically just an intermediary layer to pass the place data further.

I forgot to mention it, but the integration has its own input, that is not copied over from the Actor. Please review the input for the integration, you most likely have scrapeReviewerInfo set to false. https://console.apify.com/actors/dbEyMBriog95Fv8CW/integrations

I hope this helps, thanks!

Hi lucas,

I have checked the actor, scrape reviewer info is set to True, so I guess there is some issue. Can you please help me with this?

Thanks.

Please check the reviews scraper integration input. The input of the Actor can be set different to the integration, so you probably have scrapeReviewerInfo set incorrectly there.

Alternatively, you can set the integration as an Actor task, but that's not needed here, it would just make things more clear. Actor tasks are just a way of easily storing multiple Actor inputs.

Okay can you show a test run from your end. So that I can follow the same.

Yes, here is an example:

• https://console.apify.com/view/runs/IFRZ4wJ5r5PyOfNI5 - The starting Actor
• https://console.apify.com/view/runs/5iMWb7z4HgfKCPaSb - Reviews scraper integration

Notice the input for the reviews scraper, with scrapeReviewerInfo set to true

Hi Lukas,

I did try to run the actor in my end for this venue https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g33252-d82586-Reviews-Montrose_at_Beverly_Hills-West_Hollywood_California.html, below are the attached screenshots and links for the same, If you take a look at the screenshots i have set the ScrapeReviewerInfo to true, but still it returns null for the user. Can you please take a look at it.

• The starting actor https://console.apify.com/organization/v9hqAJiffZGKLkDhd/actors/Hvp4YfFGyLM635Q2F
• Reviews Scraper Integration

Thanks.

Thanks for sharing the runs. The input for the reviews scraper clearly states, that scrapeReviewerInfo was set to false. You can review the input for the run yourself:

The input for the Actor inside an integration is not linked with any standalone Actor input. Please update the input for the integration itself, not the Actor.

Hey Lukas,

I really appreciate it. I guess I figured it out right now. Thanks a lot!

You're welcome! I'm glad to hear you figured it out ;)

Hey Lukas,

I'm facing some challenges with the integration, I run the main actor and how do I retrieve the dataset items from the second actor after the run is complete, Because I have tried using the last dataset item endpoint but unfortunately it brings the results of the last run but not the current run. Can you please help me with that?
