Add TripAdvisor place URLs to your squid for scraping reviews. The scraper extracts comprehensive review data including ratings, review text, user information, travel dates, photos, subratings, owner responses, and more from hotels, restaurants, and attractions on TripAdvisor.

Task Format

Each task should contain a URL from a TripAdvisor place page. You can scrape reviews from hotels, restaurants, or attractions.

​
Supported URL Formats

The scraper supports TripAdvisor review URLs from various regional domains:
Use the scraper’s filter settings (language, rating, fetch_since) to collect only the reviews you need and reduce credit consumption.
Each place type (hotel, restaurant, attraction) has its own URL format on TripAdvisor. Make sure to use the review page URL, not the overview page.
