Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need both product URL and product ID?

No. Provide either one. If both are provided, product ID is used directly.

Can I fetch all available reviews?

Yes. Set results_wanted to 0.

Why do some fields appear only on some reviews?

Some metadata is optional and depends on what was submitted for that specific review.

Can I control the review sort mode?

Sort mode is handled internally by the actor to keep the input simple.

Does the output remove empty values?

Yes. Empty and null values are removed to keep records cleaner.
