Structured product reviews data, without coding

Before our Product reviews API, you needed to write a site-specific code to extract reviews or other data. Furthermore, you also needed to maintain the code if the website changed its layout or frontend code.

With Zyte Automatic Extraction Product reviews API, you don’t need to write custom code to extract data. Our AI-based tool will automatically find all the data fields you need and extract them from the page. You just need to submit the target page URLs. Then, you will receive your data in a structured JSON format.

How to use product reviews API

Product reviews API works the same way as other Zyte Automatic Extraction APIs:

1. Feed page URLs into Zyte Automatic Extraction API.
2. Receive data in JSON

Be aware, only the site URL is not enough to extract the data. You need specific page URLs to use the API (Or reach out to us to get URL discovery handled for you.)

For more information about the API check the Product reviews API documentation.
