Can we always show complete review using review API?

[Atul Neema]

I am using city search review API, but some reviews are not complete. I saw on yp.com they are providing complete review always so is there any way I can do that.

Good Day,

Currently we have legal agreements in place that limit CityGrid from showing full reviews for most content providers.

Most review providers wish to protect their content in this way.  

If you have specific yp.com listings you'd like to share, we'd love to see examples.

Thanks,

Which sites can you pull reviews from currently with the CityGrid API?
And does CityGrid plan to add more sites to the list?

[Kin Lane - CityGrid]

We have reviews today for Demandforce, RatePoint, Service Magic, Judy's Book, Insider Pages and CitySearch.  

In Q4 2011, we added 1,401,291 reviews from DemandForce to the CityGrid database.

We currently have Patch, Tupalo, Chow, Gayot, Customer Lobby, Eat24hours and UrbanSpoon (in that order) in the queue.

We are adding more reviews to our dataset is a priority and something CityGrid is actively working on.

Hey Kin, 

Do you have any updates to the progress of adding those additional sites to the reviews API? I was curious if any had been added since Jan. 

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

We've added a dozen or so content providers and are working on feature to enable to continue to scale content ingestion including reviews.

The main provider we've added is Foursquare – as I recently blogged we added 2.5M foursquare tips to our Reviews API.  In addition we've added reviews from Customer Lobby, and Gayot (other providers did not include reviews but primarily images and links).

Thanks,
