Overview

The Expedia "Get Reviews" operation in this node allows users to retrieve customer reviews for specific places listed on Expedia. Users can input direct URLs or place IDs from Expedia, and the node fetches reviews according to specified parameters such as sorting order, review limits, and cutoff timestamps.

This node is beneficial for businesses or analysts who want to monitor customer feedback, perform sentiment analysis, or gather competitive intelligence based on user-generated reviews on Expedia. For example, a hotel chain could use it to collect recent guest reviews to improve service quality or track reputation trends over time.

Properties

Name Meaning
Query Direct links or place IDs of Expedia places to get reviews for (e.g., full URL or numeric place ID).
Reviews Limit Maximum number of reviews to retrieve per place (default 100).
Sort Order in which reviews are sorted:
- Newest to Oldest by Language
- Newest to Oldest
- Highest to Lowest Rated
- Lowest to Highest Rated
Cutoff Timestamp value; only reviews newer than this timestamp will be returned (0 means no cutoff).
Async Request Whether to make the request asynchronously (true/false).
Webhook URL to which Outscraper will send a POST callback once the asynchronous task finishes.
Additional Fields Specific additional fields to return in the response, provided as a comma-separated string.

Output

The output JSON contains the retrieved reviews for the specified Expedia places. Each review typically includes details such as reviewer name, rating, review text, date, and possibly other metadata depending on requested fields.

If the asynchronous option is enabled, the node may initially return a task identifier or status, and the actual review data will be sent later to the specified webhook URL.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for the Outscraper API.
  • The node sends requests to the Outscraper service endpoint configured via credentials.
  • If using asynchronous requests, a publicly accessible webhook URL must be provided to receive callbacks.

Troubleshooting

  • Empty or incomplete review data: Ensure that the query parameter is correctly formatted as a valid Expedia URL or place ID.
  • API authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
  • Timeouts or delays with async requests: Confirm that the webhook URL is reachable and properly handles POST requests.
  • Invalid sort or cutoff values: Use only supported sort options and provide cutoff as a valid timestamp number.
  • Exceeded review limit: The maximum number of reviews per request might be capped by the API; adjust the limit accordingly.
