# Submit Owner Response

`POST /locations/{id}/reviews/{reviewId}/owner-responses`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://terra.tripadvisor.com/api`
- URL: `https://terra.tripadvisor.com/api/locations/{id}/reviews/{reviewId}/owner-responses`
- Auth: API key in header `X-API-Key`

Submits an owner response to an existing review.

 <p>Tripadvisor moderates the response and publishes it beneath the review once it is approved.
 Sending the same response again returns <code>409 Conflict</code> and does not create a duplicate. If
 moderation rejects the response straight away, the call returns <code>400 Bad Request</code> and
 <code>detail</code> says why. A review that does not belong to the Location also returns
 <code>400 Bad Request</code>.

 <p><code>404</code> means you are not licensed to access the Location.

## Path parameters

- `id` integer, required
- `reviewId` integer, required

## Headers

- `x-oauth-token` string, required

## Request body

- OwnerResponseSubmission: An owner response to an existing Tripadvisor review, written by the business owner.
  - `author_connection` string, required: The responder's role at the reviewed business, such as <code>General Manager</code> or <code>Owner</code>. Free text, not an enum. It comes back exactly as sent, untranslated, as <code>author_connection</code> on the owner response.
  - `language` string, required: The BCP-47 language tag of the response's text. The API does not infer it from the member's locale.
  - `text` string, required: The text of the response.

## Response `201`

Owner response accepted for moderation

- OwnerResponseSubmissionResult: The result of submitting an owner response, returned on a successful <code>POST /locations/{id}/reviews/{reviewId}/owner-responses</code>.

  - `location_id` integer, required: The Location the review is about.
  - `owner_response_uid` string, required: A second identifier for the owner response. The read and remove endpoints take <code>id</code>, not this one.
