Tripadvisor
Tripadvisor's Content API exposes location details, up to 5 recent reviews, and up to 5 photos for more than 7.5 million hotels, restaurants, attractions, and destinations, plus text- and geo-based location search. Every request authenticates with a single "key" query parameter and is capped at 50 calls per second, and Tripadvisor requires on-page attribution (its logo and rating bubbles) wherever the returned content is displayed.
