Hi all,

i am working on sitefinity version 7.0.

I am using eCommerce section in that. I have created the products and enabled the comments and review on products.So users can review and comment on products.

How can i retrieve the ratings and reviews on a particular product by using Api?

Thanks

Hello Guys,

What you need to use is comments API. I have a sample for news items based on the last code snippet provided in the following documentation article. The approach for products is just the same.

Query comments

NewsManager manager = NewsManager.GetManager();

var newsItem = manager.GetNewsItems().Where(t => t.Title == "Test" && t.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live).FirstOrDefault();

// Gets an instance of the comments service

var cs = SystemManager.GetCommentsService();

//instantiate comment filter

var commentFilter = new CommentFilter();

//add filter by News

commentFilter.ThreadType.Add(typeof(NewsItem).FullName);

//get the comment with the specified commentKey

var comments = cs.GetComments(commentFilter);

var ratings = cs.GetThread(newsItem.Id + "_" + CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name.ToString() + "_review" ).AverageRating.Value;

You can find more information about the threadKey that you have use as parameter for GetThread method directly from sf_cs_threads table.
