TPDI API

Programmatic access to structural tourism market data.

What it is

The TPDI API gives direct access to the dataset behind the Tourism Platform Dependence Index — city by city, market by market, activity by activity.

Every data point is based on real observed search results, manually classified. Not estimates. Not surveys. Structural data.

What you get

TPDI scores, ARI scores (with 5-block breakdown when available), and direct booking visibility percentages for every analyzed market. Actor distribution — how many local operators, platforms, and remote resellers occupy each market. Booking signal breakdown — direct, platform-only, contact-only, undetected. ARI history and delta per market. Continuously updated as new markets are added.

Currently 115 markets analyzed across 7 countries and 14 cities.
