## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| url | not declared | yes | not declared | A full Google Maps place URL, preferably the URL returned by search with `query_place_id` preserved. A `/place/` URL containing only a name and coordinates may not identify the same business reliably. Use profile for place details and reviews for that place's reviews. |
| lang | enum: af / am / ar / az / bg / bn / bs / ca / cs / da / de / el / en / es / es419 / et / eu / fa / fi / fil / fr / gl / gu / hi / hr / hu / hy / id / is / it / iw / ja / ka / kk / km / kn / ko / ky / lo / lt / lv / mk / ml / mn / mr / ms / my / ne / nl / no / pa / pl / ptbr / ptpt / ro / ru / si / sk / sl / sq / sr / sv / sw / ta / te / th / tr / uk / ur / uz / vi / zhcn / zhtw / zu | no | not declared | The reviews language option, such as `en`, `zhcn`, or `zhtw`; use the action's complete allowed-value list. It takes precedence over `language`. It does not filter by a review author's nationality. |
| language | not declared | no | not declared | The language used for the query or page content; the default is `en`. For reviews, `lang` overrides this value when both are supplied. This setting does not guarantee that every review was written in that language. |
| page_token | not declared | no | not declared | Pagination token: pass back next_page_token from the previous response to get the next page; omit it for the first page. Keep every other parameter unchanged. Tokens last 24 hours and each page is one call. |
| since | not declared | no | not declared | The lower publication-date boundary for reviews, preferably in `YYYY-MM-DD` format. It is not the business opening date. Its presence on the profile action does not mean place details are filtered by opening date. |
| sort | enum: newest / relevance | no | not declared | The review order: `newest` for recent reviews or `relevance` for the platform's relevance order. Reviews default to `newest`. On profile, the same name can affect attached review data but does not sort the single place object. |
| limit | integer (1–100) | no | 20 | The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 100. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. |

## Response fields (items in `results`)

| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| id | The record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms. |
| text | Body text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so). |
| rating | Rating. **The scale varies by platform**: rating_scale on the same row gives the maximum (usually 5; Booking, Douban, iQIYI and NAVER use 10). Convert with rating_scale before comparing across platforms, or the comparison can come out backwards. |
| rating_scale | Maximum of rating in the same row: 5 for five-star scales, 10 for ten-point scales. Present only when the row has a rating. |
| reviewer_name | platform-native meaning |
| reviewer_id | platform-native meaning |
| reviewer_review_count | platform-native meaning |
| is_local_guide | platform-native meaning |
| like_count | Likes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0. |
| posted_at | Publish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it. |
| url | Link to the record on the platform. |
| owner_response | The business's public reply to this review: text, author_name and posted_at; absent when there is no reply. |
| owner_response_at | platform-native meaning |
| detailed_rating | platform-native meaning |
| image_urls | Array of image links in the platform's display order; absent when there are no images. |
| place_id | platform-native meaning |
| place_name | platform-native meaning |
| platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
