The following example is a real response, truncated: each list shows one item and long strings are cut. ```json theme={null} { "success": true, "data": { "results": [ { "placeId": "187591", "placeUrl": "https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g186338-d187591-Reviews-The_Ritz_London_Hotel-London_England.html", "name": "The Ritz London Hotel", "type": "accommodation", "address": "150 Piccadilly", "parent": "London, England", "latitude": 51.507088, "longitude": -0.141628, "imageUrl": "https://dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-o/33/be/ef/d4/the-ritz-london-entrance.jpg?w=1200&h=900&s=1" } ] }, "creditsUsed": 1, "requestId": "2fe9dbad-fc48-4890-9751-0b24b596035b" } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | - | - | - | | `type` | string | The kind of place. | | `placeUrl` | string (URL) | A token. Pass it as `placeUrl` to retrieve the place's details or reviews. | For every field, see the response schema on this page. ## Optional parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | - | - | - | | `type` | string | The kind of place. Acceptable values are `all`, `hotels`, `restaurants`, `attractions` and `geos`. If unset, defaults to `all`. | | `location` | string | Narrow the search to this place. | ## Billing Each successful request consumes 1 credit, regardless of the number of items returned. Requests that fail, or that return no items, are not billed. ## Pagination This method is not paginated. A single request returns the complete result. ## Related methods * [Tripadvisor place](/api-reference/endpoint/tripadvisor-place): Accepts `placeUrl`. Returns a place's rating, ranking and details. * [Tripadvisor reviews](/api-reference/endpoint/tripadvisor-reviews): Accepts `placeUrl`. Returns a place's reviews. ## OpenAPI ````yaml api-reference/openapi.json POST /v1/tripadvisor/search openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Stophy API version: '1' description: >- Every endpoint is a POST that takes its input as a JSON object body. Unknown fields are rejected with 400. Responses leave out empty values: null, empty strings, empty objects and empty nested lists are not sent. x-credits is what one call costs. Every call costs the same, whatever it returns, unless an operation's description says it costs per 10 results, or per second of audio. Then x-credits is the lowest price and x-credits-max the most one call can cost. Where an operation takes limit, send it to return fewer results and pay for fewer. When a response has a cursor, send it back unchanged with the same input to get the next page. When it has a page, send the next page number. servers: - url: https://api.stophy.dev security: - apiKey: [] paths: /v1/tripadvisor/search: post: summary: Search hotels, restaurants and attractions description: Costs 1 credit per call. operationId: tripadvisorSearch requestBody: required: true content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: query: type: string minLength: 2 maxLength: 200 type: default: all type: string enum: - all - hotels - restaurants - attractions - geos location: type: string minLength: 2 maxLength: 200 required: - query additionalProperties: false example: query: Ritz London type: hotels responses: '200': description: The data, and the credits this call used. headers: X-Request-ID: $ref: '#/components/headers/RequestId' x-credits-used: $ref: '#/components/headers/CreditsUsed' X-RateLimit-Limit: $ref: '#/components/headers/RateLimitLimit' X-RateLimit-Remaining: $ref: '#/components/headers/RateLimitRemaining' X-RateLimit-Reset: $ref: '#/components/headers/RateLimitReset' x-cache: $ref: '#/components/headers/Cache' x-cache-age: $ref: '#/components/headers/CacheAge' content: application/json: schema: type: object required: - success - data - creditsUsed - requestId properties: success: const: true data: type: object additionalProperties: false properties: results: type: array items: type: object additionalProperties: false properties: placeId: type: string placeUrl: type: string format: uri name: type: string type: type: string address: type: string parent: type: string latitude: type: number minimum: -90 maximum: 90 longitude: type: number minimum: -180 maximum: 180 imageUrl: type: string format: uri required: [] required: - results creditsUsed: type: integer requestId: type: string 4XX: $ref: '#/components/responses/Error' 5XX: $ref: '#/components/responses/Error' components: headers: RequestId: description: The request id.
