Tripadvisor tools (7)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
ta_get_location_detailsGet full details for a TripAdvisor location: names, descriptions, address, coordinates, traveler ratings,
ta_get_location_photosGet photos for a TripAdvisor location (multi-size image URLs, source, dimensions), with pagination.
ta_get_location_reviewsGet traveler reviews for a TripAdvisor location, with pagination. Reviewer avatars and other image URLs
ta_get_locationsGet details for MULTIPLE locations in one call (batch). Pass an array of location ids — cheaper than repeated ta_get_location_details. Unknown or unlicensed ids are silently omitted. Returns slim summaries by default; pass view:"full" for the whole records.
ta_search_locationsSearch TripAdvisor locations (restaurants, attractions, hotels) by name. Returns matches with a location id for the detail tools, plus pagination. Returns slim summaries by default; pass view:"full" for the whole records.
ta_search_nearbyFind TripAdvisor locations near a point within a radius, or inside a bounding box. Center by lat+lon+radius, by a reference location_id+radius, or by a sw/ne bounding box. Returns matches with distance and a location id. Returns slim summaries by default; pass view:"full" for the whole records.
ta_web_get_locationGet a TripAdvisor location's core details (name, rating, review count, address, coordinates, phone, photo, listing URL) by location ID, read from the public page via the browser bridge. Works without an API key — use this when ta_get_location_details is unavailable or its key is blocked. Covers attractions, hotels, and restaurants. Does not return individual review text.
