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.

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 (ReviewX\Sync\Dispatcher) 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.
