Get Your API Key

The Terra API uses API Keys to authenticate requests. All API requests must be made over https.

To obtain an API key:

In a browser, open www.tripadvisor.com/developers.
Click Get Started, and sign up for a Tripadvisor account.
To get started quickly, select the DISCOVER tier which allows 1,000 free calls per month.
Continue to checkout.
Once logged in with access to the DISCOVER tier, click Create API Key

❗️
Always safeguard your access key
To include your access key with each request, set it as the value of the key query parameter. If you must make API calls from client code, be aware this may expose your key to other scripts and browser extensions on the client.
Tripadvisor reserves the right to revoke an access key at any time and issue a new one if a key has leaked or is being misused.
