❓FAQ

How does Hotel Review Aggregator work?

First, the scraper identifies places on Google Maps based on your input. The places found on Google Maps serve as the source of truth, meaning every extracted review will be linked to a place listed on Google Maps. Next, the Aggregator uses these identified places as input to scrape URLs for the same places on targeted review sites. Once the URLs from the review sites are gathered, they can be used as input for review scrapers to extract detailed reviews.

Is it legal to scrape hotel reviews?

Our scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data such as names. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so.

If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You can also read our blog post on the legality of web scraping and ethical scraping.

Can I use this Hotel Aggregator as a Hotel Review API?

Yes, you can use the Apify API to access data scraped by Hotel Review Aggregator programmatically. The API allows you to manage, schedule, and run Apify Actors, access datasets, monitor performance, get results, create and update Actor versions, and more.

Can I integrate Hotel Reviews Aggregator with other apps?

Yes. Hotel Reviews Aggregator can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to the integrations available on the Apify platform. You can integrate your data with Zapier, Slack, Make, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive, LangChain, and more.

You can also use webhooks to carry out an action whenever an event occurs, e.g., get a notification whenever Hotel Reviews Aggregator successfully finishes a run.
