Tripadvisor Content API
Your AI agent queries Tripadvisor's massive content database by name, category, or context. Whether customers need restaurant recommendations, attraction photos, or hotel details across 29 languages, the answers come from a billion traveler opinions delivered in real-time conversation.




Two powerful Tripadvisor Content API endpoints give your AI agent the ability to search any location worldwide and retrieve high-quality user-generated photos.
Tripadvisor Content API
Real scenarios where AI agents use Tripadvisor's content library to power travel recommendations, photo galleries, and location discovery for businesses worldwide.
A Japanese guest at a Paris hotel asks the lobby chatbot for nearby sightseeing spots in Japanese. Your AI Agent searches Tripadvisor's Content API with the query in the local language, filters by attractions, and returns results with Japanese descriptions and photo galleries. The guest gets personalized recommendations in their native language without waiting for a bilingual staff member.
A travel content platform wants to enrich destination pages with real traveler photos. Your AI Agent retrieves high-resolution photos for each recommended location through the Content API, building a visual gallery that updates automatically. Readers see authentic traveler perspectives instead of stock photography.
A food tourist visiting Bangkok types "street food" into your app's chat. Your AI Agent searches Tripadvisor's restaurant category within Bangkok's location context, returns the top matches with names and addresses, then fetches photos for each. The tourist explores visual menus and reviews before choosing where to eat next.

FAQs
The Tripadvisor tool offers 7 endpoints including reviews, hotels, awards, activities, and geo hierarchy browsing. The Content API tool focuses on two core capabilities: location search across 7.5 million entries and photo retrieval with up to 100 images per location. Choose the Content API for search-heavy and photo-rich use cases.
The Tripadvisor Content API provides access to over 7.5 million locations globally, covering hotels, restaurants, and attractions. Search results include location IDs that you can use with other Tripadvisor endpoints for deeper data like reviews and ratings.
The API returns photos in multiple sizes that you specify through the size parameter. You can retrieve up to 100 photos per location in a single request, with pagination for locations that have more. Photo captions are localized to your specified language.
No. Every search query and photo request goes directly to Tripadvisor's API in real time. Results are returned to the customer during the conversation and are not cached or stored by Tars. This ensures you always serve fresh, accurate Tripadvisor data.
Yes. Pass a parent location_id along with your search query to scope results to a specific geographic area. For example, searching "pizza" with Rome's location ID returns only Roman pizzerias. Without a location context, results are global.
The API supports filtering by category types including attraction, restaurant, and hotel. Your agent automatically applies the appropriate category filter based on what the customer is asking about, or you can configure default filters for specific conversation flows.
Yes. The Content API serves the same location data, photos, and content that powers tripadvisor.com. Data updates flow from the same source, so your customers see information consistent with what they would find on the Tripadvisor website.
Rate limits depend on your API tier and agreement with Tripadvisor. The agent handles rate limiting gracefully by queuing requests and notifying users if limits are temporarily reached. Contact Tripadvisor developer support for specific limits on your plan.
