Reviews (deprecating 10/31)
Google Product deprecating on 10/31
Google no longer supports individual Shopping product pages with reviews. Product Review information now appears within a right-hand Product Knowledge Panel when you click an item in the Shopping results. As a result, we are replacing the Google Shopping Product request with the new Google Product DetailsGoogle Product Details request, which extracts data directly from this panel. The Product Details request replaces the legacy Product, Online Sellers and Specifications requests. We are separating out the Reviews information as part of a new Product Reviews request.
Google Product Reviews Parameters
GET /search?search_type=product&product_type=reviews
The Google Product Reviews Parameters are applicable when making a request with search_type=product and product_type=reviews to retrieve product reviews results for a given product ID. The product ID is specified in the product_id parameter and you should also specify a location parameter to geo-locate the request (locations can be retrieved via the Locations API).
Google Product IDs are returned by Google Shopping search requests.
Products & Location Google Product pages are highly location-sensitive so it is important that you specify a location that matches the location that was used to retrieve the product_id in the original Google Shopping search request.
Place Reviews Pagination Product Reviews results do not contain a traditional pagination section where a specific page of results is uniquely addressable. Instead, each product_type=reviews result will return a next_page_token in its' product_results.pagination object. This next_page_token can be passed in to the next_page_token request parameter to retrieve the next page of Product Reviews results.
For example, to request product reviews results for the product ID 13244508647295616715 in the location United States , the request would be:
https://api.scaleserp.com/search?api_key=demo&search_type=product&product_type=reviews&product_id=13244508647295616715&location=United+StatesGoogle Product Reviews Parameters
