Read the reviews on a place.

Job id `maps.place.reviews`, in Reviews & apps (Maps & local). As of 2026-10-01, 2 providers serve it through 2 tools. Run `job:maps.place.reviews` and looot picks one of them; with `fallback` on, a miss moves on to the next. See [Jobs](/concepts/jobs).

## Inputs

Fields the job's tools take, most shared first. Any key you send passes through unchanged.

| Name | Type | Taken by | Required by | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `sort` | string | 2 of 2 | 0 |   |
| `count` | integer | 1 of 2 | 1 | Max number of reviews |
| `feature_id` | string | 1 of 2 | 1 | Place feature ID (hex '0x..:0x..'), numeric CID, or place ID ('ChIJ...'). |
| `language` | string | 1 of 2 | 0 | Two-letter language code for the review details (e.g. en). |
| `limit` | integer | 1 of 2 | 0 | Maximum number of results to return (1-100, default 100). |
| `placeId` | string | 1 of 2 | 1 | The Google Maps place ID to fetch reviews for (e.g. ChIJj61dQgK6j4AR4GeTYWZsKWw). |
| `postedLimit` | string | 1 of 2 | 0 | Only return reviews posted within this window: 24h (past 24 hours), week (past 7 days), month (past month), or year (past year). Omit for no recency filter. |
| `reviewsFilterString` | string | 1 of 2 | 0 | Only return reviews whose text contains this keyword or phrase (case-insensitive). Omit to return all reviews (e.g. parking). |
| `timeout` | integer | 1 of 2 | 0 | Max scrapping execution timeout (in seconds) |
| `x-request-id` | string | 1 of 2 | 0 |   |

## Providers and prices

| Provider | Tool | Price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Anysite](/providers/anysite) | [`anysite-api-google-maps-reviews`](/reference/tools/anysite-api-google-maps-reviews) | $0.000899 per result |
| AnyAPI | [`anyapi-run-maps-reviews`](/reference/tools/anyapi-run-maps-reviews) | $0.0035 per call |

A call that fails at the provider costs $0. See [What's free](/money/free-and-failures).

## Output

The run's `result` holds the provider's answer. Signed in, `looot inspect anysite-api-google-maps-reviews` prints its fields.

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With `wait: 30` the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll `GET /v1/runs/<runId>`.

Example input with placeholder values:

<CodeGroup>

```bash curl
curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"job:maps.place.reviews","input":{"feature_id":"<feature_id>","count":1},"wait":30}'
```

```js JavaScript
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "job:maps.place.reviews",
    input: {
      feature_id: "<feature_id>",
      count: 1,
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```

```python Python
import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "job:maps.place.reviews",
        "input": {
            "feature_id": "<feature_id>",
            "count": 1,
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
```

To pin one provider, send its tool id as `endpointId` instead of `job:maps.place.reviews`.
