Common Questions
Practical answers about authentication, parameters, pricing, and integration.
What does Google Maps Reviews API do?
Use public review text, ratings, reviewer metadata, topics, sorting, and pagination for reputation analysis and monitoring.
How do I authenticate?
Send a POST request to /v1/tools/google_maps_reviews/invoke with your APINEED API key in the Authorization: Bearer header. The same key can be used for model APIs. Keep the key on your server, not in browser code.
Can I try this API without entering an API key?
Yes. The Playground uses your signed-in APINEED account and shared balance. Sign in to send a request, or add funds if your balance is insufficient.
Which input fields are required?
Required fields: data_id. Check the parameter table for types, allowed values, and limits.
Can I omit optional parameters?
Yes. Optional fields: language, next_page_token, results, sort_by, topic_id. Omitted fields are not sent. Explicit false and 0 values are preserved; use the defaults and limits documented in the parameter table.
How much does a request cost?
The current catalog price is $0.003125 per request. The final charge is recorded in usage.price_usd and your account usage logs. Failed requests are refunded.
How should I read the response?
A successful invocation returns request_id, tool, output, and usage. Read the result from output, preserve request_id for troubleshooting, and inspect usage for the settled charge. The Playground shows the returned JSON without changing it.
