Retrieves a single Tripadvisor Location from the catalog by its ID.
Use this endpoint to resolve a known Tripadvisor Location ID into an abbreviated summary of that
Location, including its names, descriptions, addresses, coordinates, overall traveler rating, and
relevant Tripadvisor URLs. Like the other catalog endpoints, it is not limited by a partner's
allowlist or geofencing. For the full, richer set of Location details — such as contact information,
categories, opening hours, rankings, awards, and aggregate photo information — use
GET /locations/{id} instead.

Get Catalog Location requests
A Get Catalog Location request takes a Tripadvisor Location ID and returns the lightweight catalogue projection of that Location. It is not restricted by your allowlist, so it can confirm that an ID exists before the Location is licensed.
For the full record — contact details, categories, opening hours, rankings, awards and photo counts — use Location Details.
A request is an HTTP GET to a URL in the form:
https://terra.tripadvisor.com/api/catalog/locations/{id}Get Catalog Location responses
The response carries the Location ID, names, descriptions, addresses, coordinates, overall rating and Tripadvisor URLs. It shares the response shape of the other catalogue endpoints.
Note: a 200 confirms the Location exists in the Tripadvisor catalogue. It does not mean the Location may be displayed. Add the ID to your allowlist first.
Note: the Catalog and Location read endpoints share a single permission.
