Destination Content APIs

Learn to find places to visit and activities to do at a particular location.

Destination Content APIs cover an important part of the travel lifecycle. They enable us to explore the in-destination content of a given location by providing us with the best tourist attractions and must-do activities, thereby, allowing us to enjoy our trips to the full. In this lesson, we’ll cover the following destination content APIs:

  • Points of Interest
  • Tours and Activities

Points of Interest

We can use the Points of Interest API to find the best tourist spots at our trip destination. It provides a list of the best places to visit in a given vicinity. These recommendations are based on a number of factors, including tourist reviews, online posts, and photos. These help determine the popularity of a given spot among incoming tourists. This API provides us with detailed information about each recommended spot, including its type. These recommendations are categorized based on the activities that take place at that location and given a popularity score.

Note: The scores provided by the API indicate positive traveler sentiments. They may not reflect the most visited attractions.

We’ll use the following URL to search for points of interest in a given area:
