Alright, picture this: You’re on a mission to make the travel experience smoother, more personalized, and just all-around more awesome for your users. But there’s only so much time in a day, right? Enter SharpAPI—the trusty sidekick you didn’t know you needed in your tech stack. With SharpAPI, your platform can go from “basic booking tool” to “travel genie”, automating everything from crafting spot-on itineraries to keeping spammy comments off your forums.
Imagine AI tools that categorize tours like a pro, polish up travel guides like a grammar-obsessed editor, and detect the sentiment of reviews without breaking a sweat. This isn’t just “set it and forget it” automation; it’s like giving your platform a brain—and a bit of a personality. Because let’s be honest, even in tech, nobody likes boring.
Here’s the deal: for most scenarios getting SharpAPI up and running is as easy as importing our SDK Client. Seriously, that’s it. Just grab the SDK package for your stack, configure your API key
, and you’re ready to kick things into high gear.
Take your pick, and let’s get this thing rolling.
For any PHP-based platform it's as simple as
composer require sharpapi/sharpapi-php-client
#or
composer require sharpapi/sharpapi-laravel-client
JavaScript/Node app requires only:
npm i @sharpapi/sharpapi-node-client
..or Python:
pip install sharpapi-python-client
#or
poetry add sharpapi-python-client
And add your API key to .env
:
SHARP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
For all other tech stack and programming languages you will find code samples in our Official Postman Documentation.
Let's dive into ten ways SharpAPI can elevate travel applications (with some PHP examples included below).
Imagine managing a vast array of travel experiences — from jungle treks to cosy mountain lodges. You want every listing to capture the right vibe so travellers can easily find exactly what they're looking for. That’s where SharpAPI’s Tours & Activities Product Categorization and Hospitality Product Categorization endpoints step in. These tools can accurately categorize tours and hospitality products, enhancing visibility and alignment with customer preferences.
Let’s say you’re categorizing a “Sunset Kayak Adventure” in Thailand or an “Hotel Crystal 大人専用” in Tokyo. SharpAPI helps tag each listing with categories like “Kayaking Tours,” “Romantic Getaways,” and more, based on details like location, theme, and target audience.
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::toursAndActivitiesProductCategories(
content: 'Sunset Kayak Adventure', // Tour or hospitality name
city: 'Phuket', // Location city
country: 'Thailand', // Location country
language: 'English', // Content language
max_quantity: 5, // Max number of categories
voice_tone: 'Adventurous' // Tone, which affects naming style,
context: null // optional, current categories to compare
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$categories = $result->getResultJson();
[
{"name": "Kayaking Tours", "weight": 9.8},
{"name": "Adventure Travel", "weight": 8.7},
{"name": "Water Sports", "weight": 8.5},
{"name": "Nature Tours", "weight": 7.9}
]
For a hospitality product parameters...
{
"content": "Hotel Crystal 大人専用",
"city": "Tokyo",
"country":"Japan",
"language": "English",
"max_quantity":10,
"voice_tone": "neutral",
"context":null
}
you might see:
[
{ "name": "Adult Only Hotels", "weight": 10 },
{ "name": "Luxury Hotels", "weight": 8.5 },
{ "name": "Boutique Hotels", "weight": 7.5 },
{ "name": "Romantic Getaways", "weight": 7 },
{ "name": "City Hotels", "weight": 6.5 },
{ "name": "Couples Retreats", "weight": 6 }
]
This feature allows OTAs (Online Travel Agencies) and travel platforms to present users with relevant options effortlessly. Imagine a traveller searching for eco-friendly stays near hiking trails or adrenaline-pumping activities by the beach. By categorizing each product accurately, you ensure that they’re presented with exactly what they're looking for, enhancing user satisfaction and boosting conversion rates.
These capabilities go beyond simple categorization, helping build highly personalized and user-centric travel platforms.
Alright, picture this: You've got a mountain of travel reviews piling up—comments on your safari tours, musings about your beachside bungalows, all the feels about that rooftop pool in Tokyo. But let’s be honest, who has time to sift through all that feedback manually? Enter SharpAPI’s Travel Review Sentiment Checker. This little genius scans each review and tells you, plain and simple, if it’s a thumbs up, a meh, or a total facepalm. It even throws in a handy score, so you know exactly how warm (or chilly) those reviews are.
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::travelReviewSentiment(
content: 'The guided tour of the ancient ruins was absolutely fascinating!' // What the guest thought
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$sentiment = $result->getResultJson();
{
"score": 95,
"opinion": "POSITIVE"
}
Imagine this: Your dashboard lights up with insights, telling you your walking tour in an old town scored a “positive” with a 95% cheer factor. Your couples’ retreat is the romantic hit of the season and your coffee-tasting sessions? Well, maybe not so much. With data like this, you can see which experiences keep guests buzzing and which ones need a bit of a facelift.
Got a tour that scores big in positivity? Aim your marketing lasers there. Combine it with other insights, and you’re building a sentiment analysis and popularity dashboard that’s basically like eavesdropping on guest conversations (but, you know, ethically).
Now another example: You’ve crafted the perfect tour description for thrill-seekers—a tantalizing pitch about white-water rafting in the jungle. But wait, your adventure-hungry guests hail from all over the globe. How do you get that electrifying message across in, say, Spanish, without sounding like it was translated by your high school dictionary? Enter SharpAPI’s Advanced Text Translator. This tool does more than swap words; it captures the energy, excitement, or tranquility of your content, so whether you’re promoting a cliff-diving experience or a leisurely vineyard tour, the essence shines through.
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::translate(
content: 'Experience the thrill of white-water rafting in the heart of the jungle.', // What you want to say
language: 'Spanish', // Target language for translation
voice_tone: 'exciting' // Tone of voice, because adrenaline junkies need to feel the hype
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$translatedDescription = $result->getResultJson();
{
"content": "Experimenta la emoción del rafting en aguas bravas en el corazón de la selva.",
"to_language": "Spanish",
"from_language": "English"
}
With SharpAPI’s AI-powred, contextual translator, your tours speak the language of your guests. Promoting to a Spanish-speaking audience? Your rafting adventure feels just as pulse-pounding as in English. Got a French market for those sunset cruises? No problem—the message feels just as dreamy. This tool lets you stay true to your brand’s unique tone while reaching new, multilingual audiences, making it easier than ever to capture imaginations, hearts, and maybe a few passports along the way.
Sometimes it’s the little things—like a friendly, well-crafted thank-you email—that make all the difference in a guest’s experience. Whether they’ve booked a whirlwind adventure across Japan or a cozy stay at a city hotel, SharpAPI’s Custom Thank You Email Generator helps you add that personal touch with ease. This tool goes beyond a generic “thanks” by letting you include travel tips, insider recommendations, and even cultural insights that make guests feel valued and ready for their trip.
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::generateThankYouEmail(
content: '7-Day Cultural Tour of Japan', // Tour or package name
language: 'English', // Language for the email content
max_length: 300, // Maximum content length for clarity and warmth
voice_tone: 'Friendly', // Tone for a welcoming, personal feel
context: 'Include tips for first-time visitors to Japan' // Special context for tailored advice
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$emailContent = $result->getResultJson();
{
"email": "Thank you for booking our 7-Day Cultural Tour of Japan! We can't wait for you to explore the beauty and history of Japan. Be sure to visit the temples in Kyoto and stop by local sushi spots for an authentic taste. If you need more travel tips, feel free to reach out!"
}
This isn’t just about sending an automated follow-up—it’s about showing customers that their experience matters. Tour operators can use SharpAPI’s custom email generator to build loyalty, gently nudging guests toward a memorable journey and increasing the likelihood of future bookings. By layering in practical travel advice, like must-see sights or dining recommendations, each email becomes more than a thank-you; it’s an invitation to connect and engage on a deeper level.
Imagine you’re managing a travel website showcasing stunning destinations worldwide. But for travellers to find you, those pages need to stand out in the vast landscape of search engine results. That’s where SEO and Social Media Tags Generator steps in. This tool crafts custom SEO tags and social media metadata, giving your destination listings the boost they need to rank higher and attract more eyeballs.
$attractionDetails = 'Explore the majestic Angkor Wat temple complex...';
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::generateSeoTags(
content: $attractionDetails, // Description of the attraction
language: 'English', // Language for SEO tags
voice_tone: 'Informative' // Tone optimized for SEO
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$seoTags = $result->getResultJson();
{
"meta_tags": {
"title": "Explore Angkor Wat - A Journey into History",
"keywords": "Angkor Wat, temples, Cambodia, historical sites, Southeast Asia",
"description": "Discover the wonders of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. A UNESCO World Heritage Site offering a journey through ancient history.",
"author": "BestOTA",
"og:title": "Explore Angkor Wat - A Journey into History",
"og:description": "Discover the wonders of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. A UNESCO World Heritage Site offering a journey through ancient history.",

}
}
This tool isn’t just about boosting your SEO; it’s about painting the right picture for every destination page. By using SharpAPI’s SEO generator, you ensure each listing has meta tags that not only please search engine algorithms but also capture the essence of the place. With strong titles, keywords, and social tags, you can draw organic traffic straight to the pages that matter. Perfect for travel agencies, this means better visibility and, ultimately, more bookings.
Travel trends change with the seasons. Whether it’s promoting winter escapes to cosy chalets or marketing tropical beach getaways in summer, staying relevant with the season’s vibe can make a big difference. With Paraphrase Text and Advanced Translator tools, you can quickly refresh descriptions, blog content, and marketing copy to align with each season.
Imagine you’re a travel agency looking to tailor content across regions: Your winter deals for ski resorts need a cozy, adventurous tone, while summer listings for beach destinations should feel sunny and carefree. SharpAPI lets you paraphrase descriptions to add seasonal flair and even translate them for multilingual campaigns.
$summerDescription = 'Escape to a sun-drenched paradise with crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches...';
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::paraphrase(
content: $summerDescription, // Original description
max_length: 200, // Max length for variation
voice_tone: 'relaxed', // Tone for a summer feel
context: 'Reword for a summer promotion' // Context to add seasonal flavor
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$paraphrasedContent = $result->getResultJson();
{
"paraphrase": "Discover a blissful getaway to sun-soaked shores, with turquoise waters and powdery white sands perfect for your summer escape."
}
This feature is ideal for travel businesses running seasonal campaigns. Update content quickly for different holidays or regions—think ski resort descriptions for winter markets or romantic getaways for Valentine’s Day. Tailoring language to each season or celebration makes your listings fresh and relevant, boosting engagement and conversions across different markets.
When it comes to showcasing destinations or travel packages, a concise yet captivating summary can make all the difference in catching a traveler’s eye. Summarize Text endpoint helps by transforming detailed descriptions into engaging, bite-sized summaries that emphasize each destination’s unique appeal. Whether you’re comparing a serene beach retreat with a thrilling jungle adventure or highlighting a luxurious city escape, these summaries allow users to see the best of each option at a glance.
$destinationDetails = 'Santorini, Greece: known for its white-washed buildings, breathtaking sunsets over the Aegean Sea, and luxurious cliffside resorts.';
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::summarizeText(
content: $destinationDetails, // Description of the destination or package
language: 'English', // Output language
max_length: 100, // Max length for quick comparisons
voice_tone: 'Romantic' // Tone that matches the destination vibe
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$summary = $result->getResultJson();
{
"summary": "Santorini: Experience breathtaking Aegean sunsets, luxurious cliffside resorts, and romantic white-washed villages. Ideal for couples and sunset lovers."
}
For an even greater impact, travel platforms can mix SharpAPI’s Summarize Text with the Keywords & Tags Generator to create summaries enhanced with SEO-rich keywords and tags. This not only enhances readability but also boosts visibility, making it easier for users to discover unique travel options through organic search.
Imagine pairing a dreamy Santorini summary with targeted tags like “Greek Islands,” “romantic getaways,” and “sunset destinations.” This combination gives travel listings both an informative edge and SEO appeal, driving organic traffic and making listings as engaging as they are discoverable.
Creating effective keywords and tags isn’t just about visibility; it’s about building a connection with travelers who are searching for the right experience. SharpAPI’s Keywords & Tags Generator does the heavy lifting by generating targeted keywords and tags that align with the essence of each destination. Whether you’re promoting a secluded Greek island or a bustling city escape, this tool helps craft a descriptive language that drives organic traffic and resonates with travelers.
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::generateKeywords(
content: 'Santorini, a picturesque Greek island with white-washed buildings and stunning sunsets...', // Destination description
language: 'English', // Target language for keywords
max_quantity: 10, // Maximum number of keywords
voice_tone: 'Romantic' // Tone to capture the dreamy ambiance of Santorini
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$keywords = $result->getResultJson();
[
"Santorini", "Greek Islands", "romantic getaways", "Mediterranean", "scenic views", "sunset destinations", "white-washed buildings", "luxury travel", "Aegean Sea", "island paradise"
]
For travel agencies, OTAs, and marketing teams, SharpAPI’s Keywords & Tags Generator simplifies the process of creating SEO-ready tags that highlight a destination’s unique charm. Imagine using keywords like “Aegean sunsets” or “luxury escapes” in ads, social media posts, and meta tags, creating a cohesive and targeted marketing approach that attracts more relevant traffic.
Pro Tip: Combine this with SharpAPI’s Summarize Text for compelling descriptions that are both keyword-optimized and concise. This powerful pairing ensures your travel content is highly discoverable, readable, and aligned with user search behaviors—ultimately helping destinations reach the right audience with the right message.
When showcasing a destination, clarity and precision in language are essential. SharpAPI’s Proofread & Grammar Checker elevates your travel content by catching typos, fixing grammar issues, and enhancing readability. Whether you’re crafting a comprehensive guide to Barcelona’s top sights or a detailed itinerary for a mountain trek, this service ensures the content is polished, professional, and ready for publication.
$guideContent = 'Top 10 Things toDo in Barcelona from histric landmarksto bustling markets.Make the most of you\'r visit withthese essential tips!';
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::proofread(
content: $guideContent // Travel guide content to be proofread
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$proofreadContent = $result->getResultJson();
{
"proofread": "Top 10 Things to Do in Barcelona from historic landmarks to bustling markets. Make the most of your visit with these essential tips!"
}
For travel bloggers, agencies, and content creators, a polished travel guide can make all the difference. Imagine creating an itinerary that’s free of errors and optimized for readability, enhancing your credibility and reader engagement. With SharpAPI’s Proofread & Grammar Checker, even the most detailed travel guides come across as clear, reliable, and professional, making it easier for readers to connect with the destination.
Pro Tip: Pair this with Keywords & Tags Generator to add relevant tags post-proofreading. This combination not only perfects the language but also optimizes content for search engines, boosting both discoverability and readability.
Travel forums and social platforms are where travelers connect, share advice, and inspire others. But nothing ruins the vibe like spam posts pushing unrelated deals or unsolicited ads. SharpAPI’s Spam Detector steps in to help moderators keep these spaces authentic and clean by identifying spam with high precision. This tool analyzes forum posts, comments, and even reviews to flag spammy content, allowing moderators to take swift action.
$forumPost = 'Check out these amazing discount flights...';
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::detectSpam(
content: $forumPost // Forum post or comment text to analyze
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$spamAnalysis = $result->getResultJson();
{
"pass": false,
"score": 80,
"reason": "The content is likely spam due to unsolicited outreach, a generic tone, and a call-to-action for discounts without specifics."
}
By implementing SharpAPI’s spam detection, travel forums, and social communities can maintain a high standard of content quality. Imagine a platform where users confidently interact without wading through irrelevant ads or suspicious links. This keeps discussions valuable, reduces user frustration, and builds trust within the community.
Pro Tip: Use this in tandem with Sentiment Analysis to monitor both quality and user sentiment. This combination provides a comprehensive view of forum health, ensuring interactions are both authentic and engaging.
