Best practices (Location Search API)

Below are some best practices for you to get started:
  • Our system works with a callback methodology, which means that you make a GET request and then our server does a POST request back to you with the response
  • The callback is paginated so if you receive pagination details in the response payload, you should execute another GET with the next page to receive it
  • You can learn more in our API docs here: https://docs.datashake.com/reviewindex/about/

Local business

When it comes to local businesses, there are two main ways of querying:

1. Submitting a business with address parameters: this is useful if you want to get profiles for just that one location
Example request: 
curl --location --request GET 'https://reviewindexapi.datashake.com/profiles/?name=Brekkie%20Bowls&api_key=XXX&callback=https://eowqy6p4ewvjt4n.m.pipedream.net&street=100%20Wailea%20Ike%20Dr%20%234&city=Wailea&state=HI&zip_code=96753&country=United%20States'
2. Submitting a business name/domain name: this is useful if you want to get profiles for all locations for a business, and is available upon request
This example request automatically finds their 55 locations and associated review profiles:  
curl --location --request GET 'https://reviewindexapi.datashake.com/profiles/?name=Vitality%20Bowls&domain=vitalitybowls.com&api_key=XXX&callback=https://eowqy6p4ewvjt4n.m.pipedream.net'

Software business

We recommend using the name and domain name for software businesses, for example:

  • Name: Xero
  • Domain: Xero.com

To get profiles:

curl --location --request GET 'https://reviewindexapi.datashake.com/profiles/?name=Xero&domain=xero.com&api_key=XXX&callback=https://eowqy6p4ewvjt4n.m.pipedream.net'
