# TripAdvisor Autocomplete API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/tripadvisor/autocomplete)

> Type-ahead lookup for TripAdvisor destinations, hotels, restaurants, and attractions. Returns a unified PlaceList with the resolved location id, name, locality subtitle (e.g. 'Ile-de-France, France'), coordinates, thumbnail, and the TripAdvisor URL to chain into /v1/tripadvisor/place or /v1/tripadvisor/reviews. Best for turning a name a user typed into a concrete place. Note this lane carries NO star rating and NO review count - use /v1/tripadvisor/search when you need those on every result.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/tripadvisor/autocomplete` costs 1 credit per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.
