It allows you to extract detailed information about restaurants from specified TripAdvisor search URLs. ## Features - Scrapes restaurant data from TripAdvisor search pages - Supports multiple start URLs - Configurable number of results per search - Uses residential proxies to avoid blocking - Implements rate limiting and error handling ## Input The actor accepts the following input parameters: - startUrls (required): An array of TripAdvisor restaurant search page URLs to start scraping from. - resultsPerSearch (optional): The number of restaurant results to scrape per search URL. Default is 30, minimum is 1. Example input: json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.tripadvisor.com/FindRestaurants?geo=188673&establishmentTypes=10591&mealTypes=10597&broadened=false" }, { "url": "https://www.tripadvisor.com/FindRestaurants?geo=186338&establishmentTypes=10591&mealTypes=10606&broadened=true" } ], "resultsPerSearch": 450 } ## Output The actor stores the scraped data in the default dataset.
