Add TripAdvisor restaurant search URLs to your squid for scraping restaurant listings. The scraper extracts restaurant details including ratings, reviews, contact information, price ranges, location coordinates, and Michelin status from TripAdvisor’s restaurant directory.

Headers

​
Authorization

required
Your API authentication token. Value: Token YOUR_API_KEY
​
Content-Type
string

​
Task Format

Each task should contain a URL from a TripAdvisor restaurant search results page. Search for restaurants by location on TripAdvisor, then use those search URLs as tasks.

​
Supported URL Formats

The scraper supports TripAdvisor restaurant search URLs from various regional domains:
Apply filters on TripAdvisor (cuisine type, price range, ratings) before copying the URL to get more targeted restaurant results.
TripAdvisor uses location IDs (g-codes) in URLs. Each city or region has a unique g-code that you can find by searching on the website.
