Lifetime reviews by site

Overview

Get all-time totals by site for the account, next to the same site's figures for the period you choose.

Use this for a big-picture view.

You'll need a token and a date range. total_reviews and overall_rating are all-time; period_reviews and period_rating cover the date range.

Returns totals per site, the site with the most reviews first.

Prerequisites

  • A bearer token. See Authentication.
  • A date range (range_start, range_end), both Y-m-d H:i:s.
  • Optional: a location id (store_id). Leave it out to report on every location your token can see.
