Performance issues integrating TripAdvisor review to Booking.com feed

[Alistair]

We have a Booking.com an XML / API for approximately 650,000 properties on our website with 2 performance issues when trying to integrate TripAdvisor reviews :

1.  TripAdvisor provides review data on a one way look up

2.  Not all hotels in a location are returned, or returned accurately to the Booking.com data

3.  We need to find a method to programmatically search for the hotel/s on TripAdvisor , and then map it back to our Booking.com list

4.  Additionally, we are finding the speed of the results returned is slow, dragging the overall site speed down to levels which are not good UI/UX.

An example of a good implementationwhich is fast and accurate in search results and hotel profiles using the Expedia / TripAdvisor feed is here :

http://www.easytobook.com/resultlisthotels.php?hotel_id=&location_id=1&location_url=&location_loc=1&location_hash=&distance=&location_details=&google_types=%5B%5D&sll=&vp=&rt=0&lang=en&amu=280823224&stars=&facilities=&hotel_types=5&location_name=Amsterdam&arrival=12-05-2016&departure=14-05-2016&prs_arr%5B0%5D=2

However, I can see no examples of a good implementation with a Booking.com / TripAdvisor

We would appreciate any guidance on how to solve these problems

[TripAdvisor Content API Support]

Hello,

TripAdvisor does not assist with the provision of Location IDs however there is a /location_mapper call for Content API users. This call can be made using a mapper-specific API key, which is just your provisional API key above plus "-mapper". This mapper key has a per day limit of 25,000 API calls and a per second limit of 100 API calls, allowing you to automate some of your mapping process with a well-written script. More information can be found at http://developer-tripadvisor.com/content-api/documentation/location_mapper. 

This call should allow you to map more accurately and quickly.

Best,

Emily
