How can I limit number of reviews for a profile?
You can limit number of reviews that are scraped from a profile by using the from_date and blocks parameters.
blocks
You can get the X latest reviews from a review profile by using the blocks
parameter. For example, if blocks
is 40 and the review profile has 100 reviews, you will only get the latest 40 reviews - the others will be ignored. Note that blocks
must be a natural number (positive integer, greater than zero) and multiple of 10.
from_date
You can use from_date
parameter to get all latest reviews from a specific date. The from_date
must be a valid date in yyyy-mm-dd format. Please note that we support the from_date
parameter with Google with limited accuracy. Hence, we recommend using blocks
and diff
over from_date
whenever possible.
Note: When the from_date
and blocks
parameters are used together, we'll pick up late latest x reviews (based on the blocks parameter) from the from_date
. In other words, we are not starting from the from_date
and getting x reviews from there.
