# ReviewX REST API and Developer Webhooks Guide

Modern e-commerce architectures frequently extend beyond monolithic WordPress themes to embrace **headless storefronts** (Next.js, Nuxt, Gatsby), mobile native applications (iOS and Android), and custom ERP/CRM data pipelines. **ReviewX** features a comprehensive, fully authenticated **REST API and Webhook Synchronization suite** that gives developers programmatic control over reviews, ratings, reminders, and customer feedback.

REST API Base Endpoint

https://yourstore.com/wp-json/reviewx/api/v1/

## Core Developer REST API Endpoints

### 1. Fetch Reviews for a Product

Retrieves a paginated list of approved reviews for a given product or custom post, complete with verified badges, multi-criteria scores, attachments, and admin replies:

```
GET /wp-json/reviewx/api/v1/storefront/{product_id}/reviews?per_page=10&cursor={cursor}&rating=all
```

### 2. Fetch Product Rating Insights & Distribution

Returns pre-aggregated rating totals, average star score, criteria averages, and 1-to-5 star breakdowns for quick rendering on headless product detail pages:

```
GET /wp-json/reviewx/api/v1/storefront/{product_id}/insight
```

### 3. Programmatically Submit a Customer Review

Submits a new customer testimonial. Submissions pass through ReviewX server-side validation guards (anti-spam, reCAPTCHA verification, consent checking, and purchase verification):

```
POST /wp-json/reviewx/api/v1/storefront/reviews
Content-Type: application/json
X-WP-Nonce: {wp_rest_nonce}

{
  "product_id": 124,
  "rating": 5,
  "title": "Unmatched Build Quality",
  "feedback": "Arrived promptly and works exactly as described.",
  "reviewer_name": "Jane Doe",
  "reviewer_email": "jane@example.com",
  "criterias": { "quality": 5, "value": 5 },
  "consent": true
}
```

## Real-Time Event Dispatcher & Cloud Webhooks

ReviewX incorporates a non-blocking asynchronous event dispatcher (`ReviewXSyncDispatcher`) that hooks into WordPress lifecycle events:

- **Order Completion:** When WooCommerce fires `woocommerce_order_status_completed`, an event payload is dispatched to the ReviewX SaaS Cloud to queue automated review reminders.
- **Review Moderation Events:** When comments transition between `approved`, `pending`, `spam`, or `trash`, webhook events update cloud analytics and flush cache transients across all connected storefronts.
- **Coupon Redemption:** When a promotional discount code is used, usage increment events synchronize bi-directionally to enforce single-use restrictions.

## Configuring Developer Security & Bot Protection

To protect your API endpoints from automated scrapers and brute-force spam attacks:

1. Navigate to **ReviewX → Settings → Security** (**Badge 1**).
2. Configure **Google reCAPTCHA** or **Math Captcha** bot protection (**Badge 2**).
3. Click **Save** (**Badge 3**). All programmatic submissions lacking valid CAPTCHA tokens or active session nonces will be securely rejected with an HTTP 422 error.
