# Tripadvisor API skill
Read public Tripadvisor data as clean JSON. This Tripadvisor API skill does two things: search for hotels, restaurants and attractions, and pull the reviews for one. Review text is the valuable part — it is the most detailed public record of what guests actually experienced at a property.
This skill wraps **2 live Tripadvisor endpoints** from the [ScraperSocial](https://scrapersocial.com) API. Public data only, returned as clean JSON.
## When to use this skill
- You are researching a hotel, restaurant or attraction and want its reviews summarised.
- You are benchmarking a property against competitors on rating and review themes.
- A user pastes a Tripadvisor link and asks whether the place is any good.
### Do not use this skill when
- **You need live availability or pricing.** Not covered — this is listings and reviews, not a booking API.
- **You manage the property.** Tripadvisor's own management centre gives owners more.
- **You are pulling every review for a large hotel.** Reviews are charged per item; scope with `--limit`.
