TripAdvisor Scraper — Hotels, Restaurants & Reviews 🧳

Scrape TripAdvisor reviews from $0.25 per 1,000 and full place records from $2.20 per 1,000 (paid Apify plans). This unofficial TripAdvisor API extracts hotels and restaurants with prices, rankings, GPS coordinates, amenities, cuisines, opening hours, awards, photos and complete review threads — and exports everything to JSON, CSV or Excel.

No login, no TripAdvisor API key, no proxies to configure and no code. Paste a TripAdvisor URL, type a keyword, or just name a city — the actor finds the places, extracts the data and embeds each place's reviews inside its record. You pay only for what lands in the dataset.

🧭 What does this TripAdvisor Scraper do?

TripAdvisor's official content API is restricted to approved partners. This actor works as an unofficial TripAdvisor API alternative: it collects the same public data — places, ratings, prices, reviews — with nothing to apply for. One actor covers what usually takes two:

What you get	How
🏨 Hotels	Price range & headline prices, deals count, booking provider, amenities, awards, phone
🍽️ Restaurants	Cuisines, establishment types, price level, opening hours, open-now status, awards
💬 Reviews	Full review threads embedded inside each place record — ratings, per-category sub-ratings, trip type, traveler photos, reviewer profile and owner responses

And three ways to tell it what to scrape:

Input mode	Give it	Best for
🔗 Start URLs	Any TripAdvisor page — detail pages or listing pages	Known targets
🔍 Search terms	Free-text keywords like "Eiffel Tower"	Named places, quick lookups
🏙️ Cities	City names — "Paris", "Dubai" — or numeric geo IDs	Scraping a whole destination

---

✨ Why use this TripAdvisor scraper?

• ✅ Hotels, restaurants and reviews in one actor — no juggling separate scrapers per category.
• ✅ Type a city, get the data — "Paris", "New York City", "Dubai" resolve to the right TripAdvisor destination automatically; no geo IDs to look up.
• ✅ Reviews embedded inline — each place record carries a reviews: [...] array, so one dataset row = one place with everything about it.
• ✅ City listing crawler — paginates hotel and restaurant listings to discover every POI in a destination (up to 5,000 per listing).
• ✅ 38 languages & regional variants — pick a locale and descriptions, reviews and amenities come back in that language.
• ✅ Rich place records — prices and deals, GPS coordinates, amenities, cuisines, opening hours, Travelers' Choice awards, rankings, up to 30 photos per place.
• ✅ Business emails, straight from TripAdvisor — hotels with a Business Advantage listing come back with an emails array (≈65% of hotels), pulled directly from TripAdvisor — no external website visit — ready-made B2B lead-gen.
• ✅ Hard budget cap — Maximum cost per run (default $20) stops the run cleanly the moment your budget is hit. No surprise bills.
• ✅ Zero setup, all-in price — reliability, retries and delivery are handled for you and fully included in the per-result price.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape TripAdvisor?

Pay per result — no subscription, no minimum. Page discovery, retries, proxies and everything under the hood are absorbed by the actor, never charged to you.

Event	Free plan	Paid Apify plans
Place (one hotel or restaurant)	$3.50 / 1,000	from $2.20 / 1,000
Review (embedded in its parent place)	$0.50 / 1,000	from $0.25 / 1,000

Real-world examples (free-plan prices):

Job	Cost
Top 50 hotels in Paris with 10 reviews each	$0.43
One hotel with 1,000 reviews	~$0.50
1,000 restaurants across 5 cities (no reviews)	$3.50
100 hotels with 100 reviews each (10,000 reviews)	$5.35

Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage every month — roughly 1,400 places or 9,900 reviews at no cost, no credit card required.

Budget protection: Maximum cost per run (default $20) is a hard cap — the run stops cleanly the moment your budget is hit, exit code 0, no partial double-charge. Combine with maxItems and maxReviewsPerPoi to control spend precisely.

---

🔌 Integrations

Send results anywhere: Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack, n8n, Airbyte, webhooks or cloud storage. Pull data programmatically with the Apify API and the official Python and JavaScript clients.

Run it on a schedule with Apify Schedules to monitor new reviews or price changes daily or weekly, and trigger a webhook whenever a run finishes.

🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

Like every Apify actor, this scraper is available to AI agents through the Apify MCP server — connect it to Claude, Cursor or any MCP-compatible agent and ask things like "Get the top 20 hotels in Lisbon with their latest reviews and summarize common complaints." Structured place + review records are ideal input for LLM, RAG and sentiment pipelines.

⚠️ Limitations

• Listing depth — default cap is 50 POIs per listing; set maxPois higher to scrape more (up to 5,000).
• Reviews per POI — default cap is 10 reviews to keep runs cheap; raise maxReviewsPerPoi as needed (up to 50,000).
• Coverage & language — TripAdvisor's data is global. Default results are in English; pick a locale for another of the 38 languages/regions. Some multilingual-country sub-variants (e.g. fr-CA, fr-CH) and markets without a localized TripAdvisor site aren't offered.

---

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape TripAdvisor?

This actor extracts only publicly available data — the same listings, ratings and reviews anyone can open in a browser. Scraping public data is generally legal; note that reviews contain personal data (reviewer names, profiles), which is protected by GDPR in the EU and similar regulations elsewhere. Make sure you have a legitimate basis for how you store and use it. Read more in Apify's guide: Is web scraping legal?

---

❓ FAQ

Do I need a TripAdvisor account or API key?

No. No login, no partner application, no API key — just enter what you want to scrape.

Does TripAdvisor have a public API?

TripAdvisor's official content API is limited to approved partners. This actor is an unofficial alternative that extracts the same public data with nothing to apply for.

What kinds of TripAdvisor data does this actor scrape?

Hotels, restaurants, and customer reviews. Reviews come embedded inside each place record.

How do I scrape every hotel in a city?

Use the Cities mode, type "Paris" (or paste the geo ID "187147"), set category = hotels, maxPois = 5000 and maxItems = 0 for unlimited.

Can I scrape a specific hotel or restaurant page?

Yes — switch to Start URLs and paste the Hotel_Review- URL. Same for restaurants (Restaurant_Review-).

How are reviews formatted?

Reviews live inside their parent place under reviews: [...]. Each review has reviewId, title, rating, text, travelDate, tripType, helpfulVotes, reviewer, ownerResponse and more. Set Include reviews = true to fetch them.

Can I get results in another language?

Yes — pick a locale and descriptions, reviews and amenities come back in that language. 38 languages and regional variants are supported, from French and German to Japanese and Thai.

How do I cap the cost per run?

The default Maximum cost per run is $20. Lower it in the Run options panel, or set maxItems / maxReviewsPerPoi to hard-cap the volume.

Will I be charged for URLs that return nothing?

No. Billing is per record delivered to the dataset — if a page yields nothing, you pay nothing for it.

Why are some review fields null?

TripAdvisor doesn't always show every field per review (e.g. reviewer location, contributions count, owner response). When the page doesn't surface it, the field is null.

Why does my run return zero reviews on some hotels?

Occasionally a place page comes back without its review section. The place itself is still pushed; only its reviews array is empty. Re-running usually fills them in.

How fast is it?

Expect roughly 3–8 seconds per place, depending on how many reviews you pull. Places are fetched in parallel (up to 30 at once).

Can I export to CSV or Excel?

Yes. The dataset exports to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS and HTML. Embedded reviews: [...] arrays flatten in CSV via dot-notation; if you need one-row-per-review, post-process the JSON export by unwinding the reviews field.

Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes — use Apify Schedules to run daily or weekly and capture new reviews or price changes automatically, with webhook notifications.

Are there any extra costs?

No. The per-place and per-review prices are all-in — no bandwidth charges, no add-ons, no hidden costs.
