Flagging Reviews

Overview

Review sites allow businesses and users to flag reviews that they deem inappropriate and/or violating the site's terms of service.

While flagging increases the odds of a review being removed, it is not guaranteed. Ultimately, each review site determines which reviews are posted or removed.

Use

Flagging reviews is super simple with our API: make a request to the appropriate resource's flags endpoint with a payload containing the reason for the flagging.

Resource

https://ad1.replypro.io/api/public/accounts/<account_id>/companies/<company_id>/businesses/<business_id>/reviews/<review_id>/flags

A sample POST request for flagging a review is shown below:

POST

{
  "reason": "This review contains inappropriate language."
}

📘

Note

Reason is a required field, but the value is dictated by you.

Upon a successful request, the updated review object will be returned.
