Perfect for academic research. The community and trends endpoints give us data we couldn't get anywhere else. Documentation could use more examples, but support is responsive.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the Maps Reviews API.

What data can I retrieve with the Google Maps Reviews API?

The API can return the place name, address, overall rating, total review count, frequently mentioned topics, and paginated customer reviews. Each review can include its rating, text, displayed date, ISO date, likes, photos, reviewer information, and a response from the business owner when available.

How do I find the data_id required by the Reviews API?

Use the Google Maps Search API to find the business and keep the returned data_id . It normally follows the 0x...:0x... format. The Reviews API requires this Google Maps data identifier — do not substitute a standard place_id unless it is also provided as the documented data_id value.

How can I sort Google Maps reviews?

Use qualityScore for Google's relevance-based order, newestFirst for the latest reviews, ratingHigh for the highest ratings first, or ratingLow for the lowest ratings first. The API does not currently document a filter for returning only a specific star rating.

How does review pagination work?

Request between 1 and 20 reviews using the results parameter. When another page is available, pass the token from the previous response through next_page_token . The endpoint also supports a zero-based offset. Keep the same place, sorting, country, and language settings while moving through the results.

Can I retrieve every Google review for a business?

You can paginate through the review pages Google makes available for the selected place. However, the number of retrievable reviews can change as Google adds, removes, or reorders content. The reviews_count value is the business's displayed review total and should not be treated as a guarantee that every historical review will be available through pagination.
