Publisher Reviews API
50+ publishers. One API call. No scraping, no maintenance, no seven-figure platform deals. Get real-time review data from Google, Yelp, Facebook, TripAdvisor, Healthgrades and 45+ more — delivered clean, structured, and ready to power your dashboard.
The build trap
Most local SEO platforms start by trying to build their own review data pipeline. Then they find out what that actually involves.
The engineering team that starts as 3 people ends up as 15 — and review data is still the bottleneck. LDE's Publisher Reviews API eliminates that entire cost center. We maintain the publisher relationships and the infrastructure. You ship features.
What it does
The Publisher Reviews API gives your platform structured, real-time access to review data across 50+ publishers — without building or maintaining a single direct integration.
Pull current reviews for any business across any supported publisher, on demand. New reviews surface immediately — no batch delays, no stale data.
Connect your existing workflow tools to trigger review response actions automatically. Build the response layer your clients want without touching the data layer.
Understand review trends at the business, market, and industry level. Surface the signals your clients need to make decisions — not just the raw ratings.

Use cases
Give your clients a single place to see, manage, and respond to every review across every platform — without your team building or maintaining a single direct publisher integration. The data layer is handled. You build the experience.
Use review volume, rating trends, and sentiment signals to identify which SMB prospects have a reputation problem worth solving — before your sales team makes first contact. Real review data turns cold outreach into a relevant conversation.
Build branded weekly or monthly review reports for your agency clients with real data pulled automatically. No manual exports, no copy-pasting from Google Business Profile, no explaining to a client why their Healthgrades reviews aren't in the report.
Pull review data for a business and its competitors side by side. Show clients exactly where they stand in their market — by rating, by volume, by recency — across every platform that matters to their industry.
Developer resources
