HTTP DELETE¶

Deletes the draft review.

This only works for draft reviews, not public reviews. It will delete the review and all comments on it. This cannot be undone.

Only the user who owns the draft can delete it.

Upon deletion, this will return HTTP 204 No Content.

Errors¶

HTTP GET¶

Returns information on a particular review.

If the review is not public, then the client’s logged in user must either be the owner of the review. Otherwise, an error will be returned.

Errors¶

HTTP PUT¶

Updates a review.

This updates the fields of a draft review. Published reviews cannot be updated.

Only the owner of a review can make changes. One or more fields can be updated at once.

The only special field is public, which, if set to 1, will publish the review. The review will then be made publicly visible. Once public, the review cannot be modified or made private again.

Request Parameters¶

Field	Type	Description
body_bottom (optional)	String	The review content below the comments.
body_top (optional)	String	The review content above the comments.
public (optional)	Boolean	Whether or not to make the review public. If a review is public, it cannot be made private again.
ship_it (optional)	Boolean	Whether or not to mark the review “Ship It!”
