API reference

Google Shopping Reviews API

Retrieve product reviews from Google Shopping. Reviewer details and source review IDs can be absent. Slow results return HTTP 202 with task_id and status_url; poll that URL at zero retrieval credits. The original task is charged once and terminal failures are refunded. Requested depth remains subject to available source capacity.

Parameters

Query parameters

Useful optional inputs

  • limit — Bound the returned rows to what your task needs.

    A smaller limit does not necessarily reduce source calls or price; inspect the quote.

  • dry_run — Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work.

    Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.

limitnoRequested reviews, 1–100 (default 20). Available source capacity can limit the maximum request. If no funded source can serve the requested depth, the API refuses it without a charge and reports the available limit; it does not silently reduce your request.20
dry_runnoRead a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.1

Response

Response fields and example

This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.

Schema basis: observed response shapes, not an exhaustive field specification. See schema coverage and validation limits.

Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.

Optional fields reviewed from preserved successful responses. Additive fields and source variations remain allowed; validate the fields your workflow requires.

The example is invented and illustrates types only; zero and empty values are not claims about a real result.

Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
