Google Reviews API

Google's Business Profile API requires Cloud project setup, manual OAuth approval, and iterating through accounts and locations to fetch reviews. ReviewHook replaces all of that with one REST API for fetching, filtering, and replying to reviews across every location.

  3. 03

    Start making API calls

    Use one endpoint to fetch and reply to reviews across every location you manage.

Fetch Google Reviews

Pull reviews from a single location or across all your Google Business Profile locations in one call:

js 
const response = await fetch('https://api.reviewhook.dev/reviews?platform=google_business', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer rev_live_...',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  }
});

const { data, pagination } = await response.json();
console.log(data[0].id); // '85d9e48d25f9417d

Reply to Google Review

js 
const response = await fetch('https://api.reviewhook.dev/reviews/rev_7b3d9c42/reply', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer rev_live_...',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    text: 'Thank you for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed your visit.'
  })
});

const review = await response.json();
console.log(review.hasResponse); // true

Frequently asked

The official Google Business Reviews API is free to use, but requires approval from Google that can take weeks. ReviewHook is currently free in beta — no approval queue.

Yes. Google renamed "Google My Business" to "Google Business Profile" in late 2021. The endpoints are the same — only the name changed. Existing integrations and tutorials referring to "Google My Business reviews API" still describe the same underlying API.

No — this API only accesses reviews on Business Profiles you own. For public reviews of any business, use the Google Places API.

Yes. POST /reviews/{id}/reply posts a reply. Replies go through Google's standard content review queue.

Not with ReviewHook. We handle the API access on your behalf — you just connect your Google account.

Plain REST. Works with curl, fetch, axios, requests, or any HTTP client. Also works with no-code tools like n8n, Make, and Zapier.
