The RateItAll API
Here are four important reasons to try the RateItAll Consumer Rating API:
Overview
RateItAll exposes much of its functionality and content via a series of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). RateItAll offers both REST APIs with output in JSON / XML, as well as SOAP APIs. Users of these APIs are able to read/write to/from the RateItAll database in a variety of ways including:
- Retrieve ratings and reviews for a particular item or from a particular reviewer
- Retrieve user names and profile pictures
- Retrieve item names, images, and descriptions
- Retrieve reviews for particular items
- Retrieve comments for a particular review
- Post reviews for a particular item
- Post comments for a particular review
- Create new items
- Create new topics
- Retrieve a list of available subjects for which a topic can be created
- Create new reviewer accounts
Available Services
