How to get latest reviews using Google places API

Question

I have using Google places API for extracting reviews for places. The google places API providing top 5 most relevant reviews only, But I Need Latest reviews for a place.

Is possible to get latest five reviews instead of most relevant reviews from google places API?

Answer 1

Currently, Google Places API doesn't have an option to order reviews in the response. The feature request for the ordering was submitted in Google issue tracker in 2012:

Unfortunately, it looks like Google didn't set priority on this task. I can suggest starring the feature request in issue tracker to add your vote and subscribe to further notifications.

Answer 2

Seems there is a paid API for businesses to use to get this info. I have not used it but it is talked about in the issue tracker thread mentioned by xomena ( https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35821903 )
