Google enhancements

What changed?

We’ve enhanced our Review Scraper API Google crawler to include additional information at the profile & review level. Up to 13 new fields will be returned as part of the meta_data  fields for Google profiles and reviews:

1. New profile data:
   1. Closed location (Y/N)
   2. Business icon image
   3. Business detail (type of business)
   4. Parsed address details: Country, region, city, street, zipcode
   5. Website URL of business domain
   6. Business departments
2. New review data:
   1. Review Image URLs
   2. Review likes count
   3. Review response count
   4. Relative review date, for example “5 days ago”
   5. Translated text (for translated reviews)
   6. Review language code
   7. Review source for syndicated reviews

Why?

We know how important the Google review data is. The more detail we can provide, the more insights and value you can uncover from the data.

Below is a sample JSON showing the new fields.
