Taobao & Tmall product reviews V2

LiveBeta: the endpoint and its response fields may still change
GEThttps://api.qovia.ai/v1/raw/taobao/comments_v2

Buyer reviews of a Taobao or Tmall item, returned as the platform answers in JSON: the comments list (20 per page, each with text and time, rating, SKU, the buyer's nickname, photos and videos, follow-up review, shop reply, likes), plus the review total, maxPage, the popular review keywords (first page only) and hasNextPage. item_id takes Taobao and Tmall item IDs alike; page starts at 1; stop paging when hasNextPage is false. It usually answers in about 3 seconds. Only an answer with data is charged; an item without reviews, or an error, is not.

Typical uses: Review and comment analysis and social listening, e.g. finding what users praise and complain about most.
