Google Shopping Reviews API

Scrape Google Shopping Reviews data with one API call. Returns a unified ReviewList for a Google Shopping product, aggregated across retailers (each review's `source` is the hosting retailer domain). Each review carries the title, full text, star rating, author (when present), images, and publication date. Pass the product's gid (from product-search); product_id and data_docid are recommended for accuracy. Products with no Google Shopping reviews return 404 (auto-refunded).

Last updated October 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team

Returns reviews for a Google Shopping product gathered across retailers, each with the retailer domain, title, full text, star rating, images, and date.

Use it for shopper opinions on a product; pass the gid from product-search, and expect a 404 when a product has no reviews.

Google Shopping API

What can you do with the Reviews API?

The Reviews endpoint gives you structured Google Shopping data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.

Example Request

# GET /v1/google_shopping/reviews: Metered: holds 1 credit per call up front and refunds what the call does not use. Cache hits are free and failed calls are refunded.
# Check the price first for 0 credits: add dry_run=1 to the query. Nothing is fetched or charged.
# --max-time 60: the API's own time limit for this endpoint.
# --retry 3: retries timeouts, 429 and 5xx, honoring Retry-After.
# -o response.json keeps only the final attempt's body.
# One Idempotency-Key per request, reused on every retry, so a retried call is never charged twice.
IDEMPOTENCY_KEY=$(od -An -N16 -tx1 /dev/urandom | tr -d ' \n')
curl -sS --max-time 60 --retry 3 -o response.json \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
  "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/google_shopping/reviews?gid=3591805395819257241&label=issue" && cat response.json

Parameters worth sending

  • label=issue Names the product issue each review raises, at no extra credits; sentiment is free too.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
gidYesGoogle Shopping gid of the product (from product-search). Required.
product_idNoGoogle Shopping product_id (recommended for accuracy).
data_docidNoGoogle Shopping data_docid (recommended for accuracy).
depthNoNumber of reviews to retrieve (default 10, multiples of 10, max 8000).
countryNoCountry as an ISO code ('US', 'GB') or full name ('United States'). Defaults to United States.
languageNoLanguage code. Defaults to en.
labelNoOptional CSV of SocialCrawl labels to add to every review. Without this param every page already carries sentiment and issue, free; label= adds the labels you name to them (the defaults keep running). sentiment and issue are free when asked for too; reports, incentivized and injection add 1 credit per started 25 newly judged reviews. judgments=off (or label=none) turns the default labels off. They read the review's title and text, never its stars. sentiment: how the reviewer feels, on five levels (level 0 to 4, score_0_1, confidence), plus rating_mismatch, true when the words clearly contradict the star rating (a glowing text under 1 star, a furious one under 5), null when the review has no rating. issue: the main problem the review reports (label: product_defect, sizing_or_fit, shipping_or_delivery, customer_service, price_or_value, missing_feature, other, or none, with confidence; label is null when unsure). reports (needs reports=): does this review say that the thing you describe happened (p, 0 to 1). incentivized: does the reviewer say they got the product free, discounted or rewarded for the review (p), and did the text carry a disclosure such as 'in exchange for my honest review', Vine or 체험단 (disclosed). injection flags text that addresses an AI system and tries to direct it (flagged, p); it never drops or rewrites a row. These are signals to read, never a verdict on a review or a reviewer. A review that could not be judged carries labels: null. Reviews already labelled for anyone are free, and so is a cached page. data.labels reports what was judged and billed.
reportsNoRequired by label=reports, ignored otherwise. What to look for, in plain words, up to 300 characters, for example reports=the battery drains quickly or reports=배송이 늦음. Every review gains labels.reports.p, the probability that it says so, in any wording or language. Without it label=reports is skipped with the warning label_reports_needs_reports and is not billed.
judgmentsNoOptional, on (the default) or off. By default every row gains free SocialCrawl judgments (computed.labels, and computed.relevance on search endpoints), reported in data.labels (mode default) and data.relevance (origin default), each with a status (complete, partial or skipped) and pending: the rows still being judged when the page was sent, which carry null now and are filled on your next call or cached read. Default judgments never add credits, never change an existing field, and never drop or reorder a row. off returns the page exactly as before, with none of those keys. label=none does the same. (on | off)
dry_runNoOptional. When 1, return a cost preview for this labelled or relevance-filtered request without fetching the page or judging any row. data.estimate reports rows_expected, rows_cached, label_credits_min, label_credits_max and base_credits. 0 credits charged. (1)
label_evidenceNoOptional, only with label=. When 1, every labelled row also carries computed.labels_evidence.<preset> = { quote, sentence_index }: the sentence in the row that most clearly shows the label, copied verbatim. Absent or null when no single sentence shows it. (1)
fitNoOptional. When goal, keep the rows and fields needed for the goal you pass in goal= (plus any that are uncertain, and the first and last), and replace the rest with a stub. data.held_back lists the held ids and a recall id that re-reads the full page from cache at no extra charge. Without this param the page is unchanged. (goal)
goalNoRequired by fit=goal. What you are trying to do, in your own words, up to 300 characters.
fit_tokensNoOptional, only with fit=goal. Soft cap on how much of the page to keep, in tokens. Uncertain blocks and the first and last block are kept even if they exceed it.
sinceNoOnly rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following `next_cursor`, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. A row with no date is kept. `published_after`, `start_date`, `from_date`, `publish_time` (`yesterday`, `this-week`, `this-month`, `last-3-months`, `last-6-months`) and `max_age_days` are accepted and applied as `since`.
untilNoOnly rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept. `published_before`, `end_date` and `to_date` are accepted and applied as `until`.

Contact us
How do I get Google Shopping product reviews via API?
Send a GET request to /v1/google_shopping/reviews with the product's gid from a search result (product_id and data_docid are recommended too). The response is a unified ReviewList with each review's rating, text, author, source, and date.
What makes Google Shopping reviews different?
Google Shopping pools reviews from every retailer that sells a product, so the response spans multiple stores. Each review's source field is the retailer domain that hosts it, a cross-retailer view you can't get from one store's API.
What fields does each review include?
Every review carries a rating (value and max), the review title and full text, the author name when present, the source retailer domain, any image URLs, and the publication date, all in the shared review schema used across platforms.
How much does the Google Shopping reviews endpoint cost?
Reviews cost 1 credit per call on the standard tier. New accounts get 100 free credits with no card. A product with no Google Shopping reviews returns a not-found response and is refunded automatically.
Can I control how many reviews I get back?
Yes. The optional depth parameter sets how many reviews to retrieve (in multiples of 10). Pass the gid plus product_id and data_docid from product search for the most accurate review match.
