I tried to make a comment on a post using the method described in this link, and the comment is being posted successfully, but the rating stars are not received in the comment. I am using this route: http://site-name.com/wp-json/wp/v2/comments in a POST request with the parameters: post for the post id, content for the comment, and tried overall_rating and rating[overall] but both aren’t working to send the rating.

Hi Jim,

It seems you are using WP standard comments endpoint (/wp-json/wp/v2/comments) to submit the review. We have our own endpoint to submit the review (/wp-json/geodir/v1/reviews/)

Example url to submit review:
```
https://mydomain.com/wp-json/geodir/v1/reviews/?post=48&content=This is a review with 5 stars via API&rating[overall]=5&author=1
```
Please see: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/posting-review-rest-api/#post-373798

Thanks,
Kiran

It is returning 403 Forbidden http response:

{
“code”: “rest_comment_invalid_post_id”,
“message”: “Sorry, you are not allowed to create this comment without a post.”,
“data”: {
“status”: 403
}
}

Though I checked the post id is valid and it is the same one I used when I made a comment using the wordpress endpoint. How can I get over this problem?

It works when I make it as a GET request with the same URL you pasted, but it doesn’t appear in the comments on the website though the response is 200 OK. On the other hand, the POST request doesn’t work though it is shown as an endpoint in the /wp-json/ reply.

Hello Jim,

Sorry, you are not allowed to create this comment without a post.

Make sure you have valid post ID value applied for “&post=”.

It doesn’t appear in the comments on the website though the response is 200 OK.

Which status you have applied to the comment? Unapproved comments may not be retrieved in comments response.

the POST request doesn’t work though it is shown as an endpoint in the /wp-json/ reply.

How you are sending POST request to submit review?

Thanks,
Kiran

1- I am not sending a status but the comment is not even appearing in the unaproved section in wordprss dashboard

2- I am sending the post request with the same parameters as the get but in the body and the authorization header.

OK thanks for confirming.
I’ll let Kiran answer this topic on Monday as he was the one that built the api.

For future reference the add listing process via api will be much easier in GDv2.

Thanks,

Stiofan

The topic didn’t help. The response of the GET request of posting the comment is 200 OK but the comments don’t appear. So I think the problem is somewhere in the plugin.
