API reference

TripAdvisor Hotels API

Discover up to thirty hotels in a city, with ratings and review counts. Hotel directory only: no stay availability, nightly prices, images, price filters or pagination. Queued searches reuse the saved task when retried.

Parameters

Query parameters

Useful optional inputs

  • country — Select the documented market or country filter.

    Read this endpoint’s country semantics; filtering and source request location can differ.

  • limit — Bound the returned rows to what your task needs.

    A smaller limit does not necessarily reduce source calls or price; inspect the quote.

  • dry_run — Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work.

    Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.

NameRequiredDescriptionExample
querynoCity name, optionally followed by region and country. Required unless location or location_code is supplied. q is an alias. Paris, London and New York default to France, UK and US respectively; country overrides this.Paris
countrynoTwo-letter country code to disambiguate a city.FR
locationnoExplicit city and country; must agree with query if both are supplied.Paris,France
location_codenoSearch location code, not a Tripadvisor geo_id. Prefer a city name.1006094
limitno1 to 30 hotels; default 30. First page only.30
dry_runnoRead a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.1

Response

Response fields and example

This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.

Schema basis: observed response shapes, not an exhaustive field specification. See schema coverage and validation limits.

Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.

Optional fields reviewed from preserved successful responses. Additive fields and source variations remain allowed; validate the fields your workflow requires.

The example is invented and illustrates types only; zero and empty values are not claims about a real result.

Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
