Overview

The TripAdvisor "Get Reviews" operation in this node allows users to retrieve reviews from TripAdvisor pages or search URLs. It is useful for gathering customer feedback, sentiment analysis, competitive research, or monitoring reputation on TripAdvisor. For example, a marketing analyst might use it to collect recent reviews of a hotel or restaurant to analyze customer satisfaction trends.

This operation supports filtering by language, limiting the number of results, and specifying a cutoff timestamp to exclude older reviews. It also supports asynchronous requests with webhook callbacks for long-running tasks.

Properties

Name Meaning
Query Links to TripAdvisor pages or search URLs to specify which reviews to fetch.
Limit Maximum number of review results to return (minimum 1, default 50).
Cutoff Oldest timestamp value for reviews; reviews older than this will be excluded.
Language Language filter for the website content; options are "Default" or "All".
Async Request Whether to make the request asynchronously (true/false).
Webhook URL to which Outscraper will send a POST request once the asynchronous task is finished.
Additional Fields Collection of optional fields:
- Fields Specific fields to return in the response, comma-separated list.
- UI Whether to execute the request as a UI task (boolean).

Output

The output JSON contains the retrieved TripAdvisor reviews matching the query parameters. Each review typically includes details such as reviewer name, rating, review text, date, and possibly other fields if specified.

If the request is asynchronous, the output may initially contain task status information, and the final data will be sent to the provided webhook URL.

Binary data output is not indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API key credential will cause authentication errors.
    • Incorrect or malformed TripAdvisor URLs in the Query property may result in no data or errors.
    • If using asynchronous mode without a valid webhook URL, the callback will fail.
    • Exceeding rate limits or quota on the Outscraper API can cause request failures.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors: Check that the API key credential is correctly set.
    • "No results found": Verify the Query URL is correct and points to a valid TripAdvisor page.
    • Timeout or webhook delivery failure: Ensure the webhook URL is reachable and accepts POST requests.
