HasData October Digest

Hello from HasData!

This month we launched six new APIs, including three for Tripadvisor, Google Finance, a Gemini Scraper and Instagram Reels. The Web Scraping API takes autoMode, and Google SERP takes GPS coordinates.

New: Tripadvisor APIs

All three work on 49 Tripadvisor domains through domain:

• Tripadvisor Search takes q and returns places[] with placeId, placeType, rating, location and a ready hasdataLink for the Place call. A type filter narrows it to hotels, restaurants, things to do, destinations or forums.
• Tripadvisor Place takes a placeId and returns placeResult with rating, ranking, address, phone, website, amenities, images and prices by provider.
• Tripadvisor Reviews takes a placeId and returns up to 20 reviews[] per request, with rating[], month[], typeOfVisit[] and language as filters.

New: Google Finance API

Google Finance takes q such as GOOGL:NASDAQ, EUR-USD or BTC-USD and returns summary with price, currency and priceMovement, plus a graph[] of prices over the window you pick, from 1D to MAX.

The response also carries knowledgeGraph key stats, newsResults[], financials[] and a markets overview.

New: Gemini Scraper API

Gemini Scraper takes a prompt of up to 8,000 characters and returns conversation with the answer as markdown, sources[], images[] and usedWebSearch. No Google account is needed.

Pass the returned subsequentRequestToken back to continue the same conversation, and set hl for the interface language.

New: Instagram Reels API

Instagram Reels takes a handle and returns reels[] in Reels-tab order with playsCount, likesCount, commentsCount, videoUrl and publishDate, 12 per page via nextPageToken.

Instagram Profile and Instagram Comments now carry a ready hasdataReelsLink.

Web Scraping API

Set autoMode=true and the Web Scraping API picks the cheapest setup that loads the page. It starts with HTTP on a datacenter proxy and steps up to a residential proxy and JS rendering only when the site blocks the request.

The setup that answered comes back in requestMetadata.jsRendering and requestMetadata.proxyType, and that is the setup you pay for. A request blocked on every step costs nothing.

Proxies

Residential and datacenter proxy traffic is on sale in the dashboard, on the new Proxies page. Pick a package in GB, create a named connection and rotate its password when you need to.

The page shows usage for the last 7 or 30 days. Turn on a low-balance alert, or auto top-up from your saved card, and you get an email when traffic runs low, runs out or a package expires.

Google SERP API

• Google SERP takes lat, lon and radius (meters) to target a search by GPS position.
• Stock and index queries return an answerBox of type: "finance" with price, movement, market status and a hasdataLink to Google Finance, and the knowledge graph adds relatedMarkets.
• Local results carry the full street address in address, for example 1907 E 2nd St, Austin, TX⁠ 78⁠702.
• The knowledge graph returns workingHours with holiday notes (holiday, note, specialHours) per day, and on mobile the review count and reviewTopics.
• AI Overview and AI Mode return news carousels as a news block, and AI Mode place cards carry website and phone.

Google Maps APIs

• Google Maps Place takes fetchWebResults=true and adds webResults, the place panel's web links (site, Instagram, Facebook, delivery services).
• Place results carry menu.hasdataLink for the Place Menu API and hasdataPhotosLink for the Photos API, and thumbnail is the place's main photo.
• Working hours carry holiday, note and specialHours per day in workingHours.days[].
• Google Maps Posts returns one page of posts and takes no nextPageToken.

Indeed and Glassdoor Listing APIs

• Indeed Listing takes datePosted (1, 3, 7 or 14 days), remoteType (remote or hybrid) and sponsoredOnly, and every job carries a jobKey. Pass pagination.nextPage back as nextPage to keep the ranking across pages.
• Glassdoor Listing takes easyApplyOnly, remoteOnly, minRating, datePosted, radius, minSalary and maxSalary. The filters travel inside nextPageToken, so later pages stay filtered.

Amazon APIs

• Amazon Product returns importantInformation with safetyInformation, ingredients, directions and legalDisclaimer on grocery, beauty and supplement listings.
• Product variants[] list only the combinations Amazon sells, each with available and dimensions split by axis (Size, Color). The dimensions field is now an object, not a string.
• Amazon Search returns searchInformation with the query and a noResults flag.

Other Updates

• Instagram Posts returns 12 posts per page and no playsCount, which lives in the Reels API. Page tokens issued before October 23 are rejected.
• Booking Search pages with nextPageToken from pagination.nextPageToken, and the discount fields are price.discountRaw and price.discountParsed.
• Zillow Listing filters owner and agent listings through listingPublishOptions[] (ownerPosted, agentListed). A request with listingType returns an error that names the replacement.
• The first page of TikTok Comments includes the video as post, with its caption, author, music and engagement counts.
• New API keys start with hd_ and are shown once, when you create them. The dashboard shows a masked key, who created it and when it was last used, and a workspace can have any number of keys, including none.
• Workspace owners can transfer ownership and rename the workspace in the Team settings.
