# Google Place Reviews

`GET /v1/places/reviews`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://apidirect.io`
- URL: `https://apidirect.io/v1/places/reviews`
- Auth: API key in header `X-API-Key`

Get user reviews for a place by `place_id`. Each review includes the rating, full review text, author info (with photo URL, total review count, and Local Guide level), timestamps, attached photos, and any owner response (`owner_response` is `null` when the owner has not replied, otherwise an object with `text`, `datetime_utc`, `timestamp`, `time` and `language`). Sort by most relevant, newest, highest ranking, or lowest ranking. Set `translate_reviews=true` to translate all returned reviews into the requested `language`, and `get_sentiment=true` to add AI emotion analysis to each review. Each page returns up to 10 reviews and is billed as one request, up to 10 pages per call.

**Price:** $0.01 per page. **Free tier:** 20 requests/month.
