This endpoint provides results from the “Reviews” element on the Tripadvisor platform. The results are specific to the URL path or keyword you indicate, and and the selected location (see the List of Locations).
Note that we recommend setting tasks with the url_path parameter for the highest accuracy.
The url_path parameter can be found on the Tripadvisor website as a part of the URL pointing to a specific business entity. For example, here is the URL of Margaritaville Resort Times Square on Tripadvisor:
The url_path for this entity is Hotel_Review-g60763-d23462501-Reviews-Margaritaville_Times_Square-New_York_City_New_York.html
Note: your account will be charged for every 10 reviews returned in the items array, e.g. if you specify "depth": 11, you will be charged as per 20 reviews.

The above command returns JSON structured like this:
All POST data should be sent in the JSON format (UTF-8 encoding). Task setting is done using the POST method. When setting a task, you should send all task parameters in the task array of the generic POST array. You can send up to 110 API calls per minute, with each POST call containing no more than 100 tasks. If your POST call contains over 100 tasks, the tasks over this limit will return the 40006 error.
You can retrieve the results of completed tasks using the unique task identifier id. Alternatively, we can send them to you as soon as they are ready if you specify the postback_url or pingback_url when setting a task. Note that if your server doesn’t respond within 10 seconds, the connection will be aborted by timeout, and the task will be transferred to the ‘Tasks Ready’ list. The error code and message depend on your server’s configuration. See Help Center to learn more about using pingbacks and postbacks with DataForSEO APIs.
