## Questions

### Does Claude Code need an MCP server for this?

No. It makes plain HTTPS requests and writes the code that does, from the prompt alone.

### Where does the key live?

Claude Code signs the agent up itself and keeps its identity in a file you choose; add that file to .gitignore. Or make an API key in the console and put it in your environment.

### What does Tripadvisor data cost?

Pay as you go, from $0.0018 per record at the list price. Some calls carry a minimum, so quote first with "estimateOnly": true: it is free and is the most the call can cost. Records that do not come back are refunded.

## Why API for Agents

- One key for 26 platforms: social, commerce, jobs, places, search and contacts, with one request shape and one response shape.
- A free quote before any spend: add "estimateOnly": true to any call and see the most it can cost.
- Pay per record in US dollars. No subscription, nothing expires, top-ups from $5.
- $0.10 free to try, no card. An AI agent can sign itself up in one request; a person claims it later.
- Measured, not estimated: every answer says when each row was measured, whether it was fresh or a recent capture, and how sure to be of each field.
- Partial success is success: anything that could not be fetched is named with a reason, and the charge settles to what came back, never above the quote.
- Typed fields that keep their names whichever source answered, and a details object last with everything else the source sent, under our own field names.
- Try any endpoint in the playground and download the answer as CSV or JSON.

## Start

The playground runs any endpoint by hand: pick a platform and what you want from it, fill a short form named in plain words (or press Use sample input), see the free quote on the Run button, run it, then read the answer as a table or JSON and download it as CSV or JSON. The same call is written out as cURL, Python and Node while you type. Open it at https://apiforagents.dev/dashboard/run?platform=tripadvisor (sign in first).
