# How to connect TripAdvisor Content API to OpenClaw (paste one key, 5 tools) > Connect TripAdvisor Content API to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your TripAdvisor Content API key once and 5 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/tripadvisor-content-api The usual route to TripAdvisor Content API access for OpenClaw is an MCP server you configure and keep running, plus your own OAuth app or API keys. ClawLink gives OpenClaw a more practical TripAdvisor Content API setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect TripAdvisor Content API in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real TripAdvisor Content API actions from any chat surface with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to TripAdvisor Content API. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect TripAdvisor Content API** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask OpenClaw in plain English. **Paste this into OpenClaw to set up ClawLink:** > I want to connect my apps to OpenClaw through ClawLink. > Please install the ClawLink plugin from ClawHub and enable it: `openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin` > When it is installed, tell me and stop. After I reply, give me the ClawLink pairing link. Setup notes, if you need them: https://claw-link.dev/skill.md **Alternative for any agent (no plugin needed):** if the OpenClaw plugin route isn't available or doesn't work, any AI agent with shell access can use the ClawLink CLI instead: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login # sign in via browser — no API key to paste npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect tripadvisor-content-api # connect TripAdvisor Content API (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions tripadvisor-content-api # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run tripadvisor-content-api --input '' # execute (add --confirm for writes) ``` ### Install by command The setup prompt above does all of this in one paste. By hand, it is one install command plus a browser approval: ```bash openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin ``` Then ask OpenClaw to set up ClawLink. It starts browser pairing and prints an approval link — open it, approve the device, return to the chat, and say `done`. Finally, connect TripAdvisor Content API in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your TripAdvisor Content API API key once. Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw: > Pull the relevant data from TripAdvisor Content API, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ### Using a different agent? The OpenClaw plugin is one client of ClawLink's MCP server. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any agent that can run a shell command pairs with the same ClawLink account through the CLI: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login ``` `login` opens the same browser approval and stores a credential locally. Once TripAdvisor Content API is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 5 TripAdvisor Content API tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects TripAdvisor Content API to OpenClaw and exposes 5 TripAdvisor Content API tools your agent can call over [MCP](https://claw-link.dev/learn/what-is-an-mcp-server), with [hosted auth](https://claw-link.dev/learn/oauth-for-ai-agents) and nothing to run or maintain yourself. Using Hermes instead? The [Hermes TripAdvisor Content API integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/tripadvisor-content-api) works the same way. ## What the OpenClaw TripAdvisor Content API integration can do 5 TripAdvisor Content API tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 5 TripAdvisor Content API tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get location details** `tripadvisor_content_api_get_location_details` | Get comprehensive information about a location (hotel, restaurant, or attraction) including | | **Get location photos v2** `tripadvisor_content_api_get_location_photos_v2` | Retrieve up to 5 high-quality photos for a specific location with complete metadata and | | **Get location reviews** `tripadvisor_content_api_get_location_reviews` | Retrieve up to 5 of the most recent reviews for a specific location | | **Search locations2** `tripadvisor_content_api_search_locations2` | Search for TripAdvisor locations with advanced filtering options | | **Search nearby locations** `tripadvisor_content_api_search_nearby_locations` | Search for locations near a specified latitude/longitude | ## Example prompts **Get Location Details** > Pull the relevant data from TripAdvisor Content API, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Location Photos V2** > Pull the relevant data from TripAdvisor Content API, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Location Reviews** > Pull the relevant data from TripAdvisor Content API, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Search Locations2** > Search TripAdvisor Content API for what I need, summarize the results, and tell me the next best action. ## ClawLink vs. building it yourself The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want TripAdvisor Content API working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the TripAdvisor Content API API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected TripAdvisor Content API account becomes available to the agent without you building credential management. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for TripAdvisor Content API. | ClawLink handles the repetitive integration plumbing so your team can focus on the workflow instead of the infrastructure. | | **Agent usability** | You still need to expose the right TripAdvisor Content API actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 5 tools for TripAdvisor Content API are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes TripAdvisor Content API to AI agents. It is developer infrastructure: Python and TypeScript SDKs, an MCP server, and a catalog past 1,000 apps, aimed at teams shipping agent products. ClawLink is built for OpenClaw users instead. You install the plugin once, connect TripAdvisor Content API in the browser, and the 5 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the TripAdvisor Content API key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Make sure TripAdvisor Content API is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog. If OpenClaw runs as a persistent gateway, restart it so the new tools register. ### Connection succeeds but no tools appear Reconnect TripAdvisor Content API from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded. ### "Tool schema not loaded yet" error when calling TripAdvisor Content API tools TripAdvisor Content API tool schemas load on demand the first time a tool runs and are cached after that, so this error usually clears on its own: wait a few seconds and retry the same request. If every TripAdvisor Content API call keeps failing with it in a fresh chat, reconnect from the dashboard, and contact support if it still persists — that pattern points to a configuration problem on our side, not something you can fix by reconnecting again. ### TripAdvisor Content API returns 403 or "permission denied" on one action while others work Two usual causes. The connected account may not have access to the specific workspace, inbox, store, or project in the request — check that first. If access looks right, the agent may have sent a placeholder value (like "YOUR_ID" or an example id from documentation) instead of a real one: ask it to run a list or search tool first, then retry the action with a real id from those results. Most failures at this stage are one of these two, not ClawLink bugs. ### API key setup works but results look incomplete Double-check that the API key for TripAdvisor Content API has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a OpenClaw TripAdvisor Content API integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to TripAdvisor Content API: link your TripAdvisor Content API account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the TripAdvisor Content API API through 5 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add TripAdvisor Content API to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink TripAdvisor Content API skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize TripAdvisor Content API. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the TripAdvisor Content API key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect TripAdvisor Content API to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to TripAdvisor Content API in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring TripAdvisor Content API up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want TripAdvisor Content API working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the TripAdvisor Content API skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about TripAdvisor Content API, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure TripAdvisor Content API is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog. If OpenClaw runs as a persistent gateway, restart it so the new tools register. ## Related - [Connect GitHub](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/github) — Manage repositories, issues, pull requests, and workflows - [PagerDuty tools](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/pagerduty) — Manage incidents, on-call schedules, and services - [Connect SafetyCulture](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/safetyculture) — SafetyCulture (formerly iAuditor) is a workplace operations platform that enables teams to conduct digital inspections, manage audits, track issues, schedule tasks, and maintain compliance through mobile and web applications.
