Mercado Libre Reviews API Documentation

GET https://scrappa.co/api/mercadolibre/reviews?site=MLA&id=MLA3965765480&id_type=item&limit=3

Returns buyer reviews with rating, text, relative date label, exact creation time, country, variant, helpful count and photos in several sizes. Set id_type to item for an item id (MLA3965765480) or product for a catalogue product id (MLA79197996). A wrong pairing returns an empty list. Page with limit (1 to 30) and offset; next_offset is set when a full page came back. Filter by rating 1 to 5 and order by relevance or date. Failed requests (404, 422, 503) are never billed. A valid answer with zero rows is a successful, billable 200.
