Tripadvisor

Tripadvisor Location Lookup API

START HERE. This is the entry point that turns a place or business NAME into the Tripadvisor geo_id / location_id pair every other Tripadvisor endpoint is keyed by - those ids exist only inside Tripadvisor's own URLs, so without this call a caller holding a name has no way in. Returns up to 20 typeahead rows with type, name, geo_id, location_id, coordinates and URL, as JSON. Costs 2 credits per request.
