Scrappa Get API key
Tripadvisor API 1 credit/request

Tripadvisor Search

GET https://scrappa.co/api/tripadvisor/search?q=pizza+rome&limit=3

Search Tripadvisor like the site search box. Each result has its position (from 1), location ID, name, type (hotel, restaurant, attraction, vacation_rental, destination or other), rating, review count, address, location, coordinates, image and Tripadvisor URL. Use the location ID with the place and reviews endpoints. Tripadvisor returns one result list per query without pages, so limit (1 to 20) is the only size control. A valid query without matches is a successful empty list.
