The pieces

One source, one destination.

TripAdvisor

TripAdvisor pairs bubble ratings and review text with multi-provider nightly prices, so one source covers both reputation and rate comparison. Below, that review stream lands in Power BI row by row.

Power BI

Power BI talks to REST APIs natively through Power Query. No connector to install: the Web source plus one request header gets the JSON in, and scheduled refresh keeps it current. In this guide it reads TripAdvisor reviews straight from the StayAPI endpoint.

The call

One endpoint returns TripAdvisor reviews.

The TripAdvisor Hotel Reviews endpoint returns clean JSON for one hotel. Send your key in the X-API-Key header. See the endpoint docs for every parameter.

GET TripAdvisor Hotel Reviews /v1/tripadvisor/hotel/reviews/{location_id} https://api.stayapi.com/v1/tripadvisor/hotel/reviews/305165

Setup

Wire Power BI to the endpoint.

01

Create a StayAPI account and copy your API key from the dashboard.
02

In Power BI Desktop, choose Get Data > Web > Advanced.
03

Enter the endpoint URL and add an x-api-key request header.
04

Expand the JSON in Power Query, load it, and set a scheduled refresh in the service.

Config

Power Query: one M expression.

This uses the real endpoint URL with the example The Siam id. Swap in your hotel id and your API key.

    )
  ),
  Records = Source[data][reviews],
  Table   = Table.FromList(Records, Splitter.SplitByNothing()),
  Expanded = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(
    Table, "Column1", { "id", "rating", "title", "text" }
