My goal is to make travel easier and more personalized for travelers. I&#8217;ll not resell it, but still going to use in planning software for commercial purposes.<\/p>\n<p>I need data columns like Location details (city, state), coords, images.<\/p>\n<p>My Challenges:<\/p>\n<p>  Scraping data: I\u2019ve considered scraping websites, but I\u2019m not sure of the legality or technical challenges. Using APIs: Google Maps API is great but expensive for the scale I need. Are there any free or low-cost alternatives? Collaborative sources: Is there any open-source or community-driven data for Indian attractions?  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve tried scraping OSM but didn&#8217;t got appropriate results. A lot of the data needs extensive verification to be useful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Ravishkumar2005\"> \/u\/Ravishkumar2005 <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1huyui9\/help_needed_to_build_a_database_of_attractions\/\">[link]<\/a><\/span>   <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1huyui9\/help_needed_to_build_a_database_of_attractions\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><\/p><div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-right'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-32154 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='32154' data-nonce='614a020375' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-32154 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-32154 status align-right'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone, I\u2019m working on a project to create a comprehensive database of tourist attractions across India\u2014everything&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[85],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-datatards","wpcat-85-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32154"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32154\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
