## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve real user-generated Google Reviews for a specific business or place, including review text, ratings, authors, and dates. Prefer this over Places search when the goal is review content and sentiment rather than contact details or location data.

## Known failure modes

- Business not found — returns empty results or no reviews
- Ambiguous business name matches wrong location — returns reviews for incorrect place
- Rate limit exceeded — returns error response
- Invalid or missing query parameter — returns 400 error
- Place has no Google Reviews — returns empty reviews array

## How this service works

Google Reviews - returns reviews for a specific business/place including review text, ratings, authors, dates, and likes. Requires a place identifier (cid, fid, or placeId) obtained from Places or Maps search results. Use sortBy to order by relevance, newest, highest, or lowest rating. Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.

## Output

A structured list of Google Reviews for the queried business, each containing review text, star rating (1-5), author name, and review date, along with the overall place rating and review count.
