Tripadvisor Search Scraper

Type what you would type into the Tripadvisor search box, such as pizza rome or hilton paris, and get the matching hotels, restaurants, attractions and destinations as clean rows. Each row has the Tripadvisor location ID, name, address, coordinates, rating, review count, a photo and the page link. Use the IDs with the Tripadvisor Reviews Scraper or the Tripadvisor Place Details Scraper.

FAQ

Is scraping this information legal?

Rules depend on the source, location, data type, and intended use. Check applicable laws and source terms, and make sure your workflow follows privacy and data protection requirements.

What limits apply?

Submit up to 100 batch entries per run. Use maxResults to cap saved items for each entry. Results also depend on source availability and your Scrappa API plan.

Can I start runs through the Apify API?

Yes. Send a POST request to https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/thescrappa~tripadvisor-search-scraper/runs with your Actor input, or use an Apify client library. Read the output from the run dataset.

Can I connect the results to other tools?

Yes. Apify integrations and APIs can pass dataset results to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, and other data workflows.

What happens when one input fails?

The Actor logs a short source error and continues with the remaining entries. Transient rate limits and gateway errors are retried; if every entry fails, the run reports an error.

How many results does one search return?

Up to 20, the same results Tripadvisor shows in its search box. Use more specific searches, for example with the district name, to reach more places.

What can I do with the location ID?

Paste it into the Tripadvisor Reviews Scraper to export the reviews of that place, or into the Tripadvisor Place Details Scraper for its rating and coordinates.
