HTTP GET¶

Returns the list of all public reviews on a review request.

Request Parameters¶

Field	Type	Description
counts-only (optional)	Boolean	If specified, a single `count` field is returned with the number of results, instead of the results themselves.
max-results (optional)	Integer	The maximum number of results to return in this list. By default, this is 25.
start (optional)	Integer	The 0-based index of the first result in the list. The start index is usually the previous start index plus the number of previous results. By default, this is 0.

HTTP POST¶

Creates a new review.

The new review will start off as private. Only the author of the review (the user who is logged in and issuing this API call) will be able to see and interact with the review.

Initial data for the review can be provided by passing data for any number of the fields. If nothing is provided, the review will start off as blank.

If the user submitting this review already has a pending draft review on this review request, then this will update the existing draft and return HTTP 303 See Other. Otherwise, this will create a new draft and return HTTP 201 Created. Either way, this request will return without a payload and with a Location header pointing to the location of the new draft review.

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!”
