Overview

The "Get Google Reviews" operation in the Data API resource allows users to fetch Google reviews for a specific business. Users can identify the business by keyword search, Google CID (Client ID), or Google Place ID. This node is useful for gathering customer feedback and sentiment analysis from Google Maps reviews, which can be leveraged for reputation management, market research, or customer service improvements.

Practical examples include:

  • Monitoring customer satisfaction by regularly fetching new reviews for your business.
  • Aggregating reviews from competitors identified by keywords or place IDs.
  • Analyzing review trends sorted by rating or recency to inform business decisions.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the fetched Google reviews. Each review typically includes details such as reviewer name, rating, review text, date, and possibly other metadata related to the review. The output does not explicitly mention binary data, so it is assumed to be purely JSON structured.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for accessing Dumpling AI APIs.
  • The node communicates with the Dumpling AI backend at https://app.dumplingai.com/api/v1.
  • No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication token.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing API key will cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect input type or missing required fields (keyword, CID, or Place ID) will result in errors.
    • Requesting more than the maximum allowed number of reviews (4490) may cause rejection.
    • Using advanced settings like language or location incorrectly might yield no results or unexpected data.

  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured.
    • Validation errors: Ensure all required properties for the chosen input type are provided.
    • Rate limiting or quota exceeded: Check API usage limits and adjust request frequency accordingly.
