Klook Reviews Scraper

What does Klook Reviews Scraper do?

Klook Reviews Scraper scrapes customer reviews for one Klook activity — reviewer name, rating, content, photos — with real filters (star rating, photo-only) and real pagination, one dataset row per review.

It talks directly to the same internal API the official Klook Android app uses, reverse-engineered by disassembling the app's native request-signing library and validated against live traffic captured from a real device. No Klook account, no API key. This is the reviews slice of Klook All-in-One API, split out as its own focused Actor.

Why use Klook Reviews Scraper?

• Real filters, not client-side guesses — starNum (1-5) and onlyImage were both confirmed live by the parent Actor by tapping the actual control and reading the resulting request off the wire
• Real, working pagination — confirmed live by the parent Actor with real result counts
• No account needed — works fully anonymously
• Use cases: review sentiment analysis, rating monitoring, photo-review mining

How it connects to the parent

This Actor is a narrow, batch-run spin-off of klook-all-in-one-api (an always-on Standby REST API exposing every Klook endpoint). It reuses the parent's exact, proven request-signing logic (klook-client.ts, copied verbatim) but only wraps /activities/{id}/reviews, and runs as a normal input-in/dataset-out Actor instead of a Standby API.

Input

Field	Type	Description
activityId	string	Required. Klook activity id to fetch reviews for.
starNum	integer	Filter to one star rating (1-5). Leave empty for all ratings.
onlyImage	boolean	Only return reviews that include a photo.
pageSize	integer	Reviews per request. Default 10
maxItems	integer	Stop once this many reviews have been pushed. Default: unlimited (all reviews)

Example:

{ "activityId": "93901", "starNum": 5, "pageSize": 20 }

Output

One dataset row per review. Real example (from the parent Actor's own live-confirmed capture of GET /activities/93901/reviews?star_num=1&limit=1):

{
    "author": "Klook User",
    "rating": 20,
    "content": "..."
}

Known limitations

• Requires Apify's RESIDENTIAL proxy group. Klook's edge blocks non-residential IPs with a DataDome bot-challenge page — confirmed directly from this development sandbox (a request byte-for-byte identical to a working one, sent without the proxy, came back as a DataDome JS-challenge HTML page, not JSON). All outbound requests route through Actor.createProxyConfiguration({ groups: ['RESIDENTIAL'] }).
• Local dev smoke testing outside the Apify platform needs "Proxy external access" enabled on the account. This Actor's code was verified to be a byte-for-byte match against the parent's already-published, working klook-client.ts, and the local smoke test run during development failed exactly at the proxy-URL-acquisition step (ProxyConfiguration: The "Proxy external access" feature isn't enabled for your account) — before any request to Klook was even attempted. That's an account-tier restriction on pulling a proxy URL from outside a real platform Actor run, not a defect in this code; once deployed and actually run on Apify's platform, proxy access works through the normal SDK path.
• rating is on a 0-100 scale in increments of 20, not 1-5 — confirmed live by the parent Actor: star_num=1 returns only rating=20 reviews (i.e. rating = starNum * 20). Divide by 20 to get the familiar star count.
• One activity per run — use klook-activity-detail-scraper to first discover activity ids, then run this Actor per id (or in a loop from your own orchestration).
• This is an unofficial, reverse-engineered integration, not affiliated with or endorsed by Klook Travel Technology Limited.

Pricing
