Tripadvisor Scraper
tripadvisor.com
Tripadvisor sits behind DataDome, one of the harder anti-bot stacks to pass at volume - a plain request gets a challenge, not a page. ScrapeUnblocker renders it in a real browser, harvests the DataDome clearance once and replays it across the fleet, so a full 1,000-call run holds 99.6% instead of collapsing after the first few hundred. Review text, ratings and rankings come back in the page as any visitor would see them.
What you can extract
- Property, restaurant or attraction name and category
- Overall rating, review count and ranking position
- Individual review text, author and date
- Price level and cuisine or amenity tags
- Address, coordinates and contact details
How to scrape it
curl -X POST \
-H "X-ScrapeUnblocker-Key: $SU_API_KEY" \
"https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/getPageSource?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2F&parsed_data=true"import requests
resp = requests.post(
"https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/getPageSource",
headers={"X-ScrapeUnblocker-Key": SU_API_KEY},
params={"url": "https://www.tripadvisor.com/", "parsed_data": True},
)
print(resp.text)import { ScrapeUnblockerClient } from 'scrapeunblocker';
const su = new ScrapeUnblockerClient({ apiKey: process.env.SU_API_KEY });
const results = await su.getPageSource({
url: 'https://www.tripadvisor.com/',
parsedData: true,
});
console.log(results);Requests are POST and take their parameters in the query string. Browser rendering always happens - there is no flag to enable.
Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to scrape Tripadvisor?
Collecting publicly available Tripadvisor data such as ratings, rankings and review text is lawful in many jurisdictions, but the rules depend on your country, the data you collect and how you use it. Some of it can be personal data, so follow the privacy rules that apply to you. ScrapeUnblocker returns the public page; what you collect and how you use it is your responsibility.
How do I scrape Tripadvisor without getting blocked?
Tripadvisor is protected by DataDome, so a plain request gets a challenge instead of a page. ScrapeUnblocker renders the page in a real browser, rotates residential and ISP exits and handles the challenge. In ScrapeUnblocker's benchmark it returned real content on 99.6% of 1,000 calls, about 12.5s per call.
What Tripadvisor data can I get?
Hotel, restaurant and attraction pages give you the name and category, overall rating, review count and ranking position, individual review text with author and date, price level and cuisine or amenity tags, and the address, coordinates and contact details. Pass parsed_data=true for structured JSON.
Do I need a Tripadvisor API or account?
No. ScrapeUnblocker returns the public Tripadvisor page as HTML, or structured JSON with parsed_data=true, from one /getPageSource call with your ScrapeUnblocker key. No Tripadvisor account is involved. If content needs a click, typing or scrolling to appear, add steps to do that before the page is captured.
Can I collect Tripadvisor reviews at scale?
Yes. Send /getPageSource calls for Tripadvisor listing and review pages in parallel up to your plan's concurrency limit: 20 to 100 concurrent requests on Pay as you go, Starter and Pro, and 200 to 400 on Business, Scale and Ultimate. Review text, ratings and rankings come back in the page as any visitor sees them.
How much does it cost to scrape Tripadvisor?
Each /getPageSource call is one request, and 1 request = 1 credit: EUR 1.00 per 1,000 on pay as you go, down to about EUR 0.55 per 1,000 on the Ultimate plan. A 403 block, a timeout, a 523 origin unreachable and errors on ScrapeUnblocker's side are not billed; delivered pages are, including Tripadvisor's own 404 page. The free trial includes 500 requests, no card.
