List ratings

This endpoint allows you to fetch ratings for a given add-on or user. Either addon or user query parameters are required, and they can be combined together.

When addon, user and version are passed on the same request, page_size will automatically be set to 1, since an user can only post one rating per version of a given add-on. This can be useful to find out if a user has already posted a rating for the current version of an add-on.

GET /api/v5/ratings/rating/
Query Parameters:

  • addon (string) – The add-on id, slug, or guid to fetch ratings from. When passed, the ratings shown will always be the latest posted by each user on this particular add-on (which means there should only be one rating per user in the results), unless the version parameter is also passed.

  • app (string) – Set the add-on application for that query. This won’t filter the results, but can affect the URLs being returned. Defaults to firefox.

  • exclude_ratings (string) – Exclude ratings by their id. Multiple ratings can be specified, separated by comma(s).

  • filter (string) – The filter(s) to apply.

  • score (string) – Only include ratings that have been given a specific score. Multiple scores can be specified, separated by comma(s).

  • show_flags_for (string) – The user id to show flags for. If the request is made with an authenticated user matching this parameter value, a flags property will be added to the response as described below in ratings.

  • show_grouped_ratings (boolean) – Whether or not to show ratings aggregates for this add-on in the response (Use “true”/”1” as truthy values, “0”/”false” as falsy ones).

  • show_permissions_for (string) – The user id to show permissions for. If the request is made with an authenticated user matching this parameter value, and the addon parameter is also present, a can_reply property will be added to the response as described below.

  • user (int) – The user id to fetch ratings from.

  • version (int) – The version id to fetch ratings from.

  • page (int) – 1-based page number. Defaults to 1.

  • page_size (int) – Maximum number of results to return for the requested page. Defaults to 25.

Response JSON Object:

  • count (int) – The number of results for this query.

  • next (string) – The URL of the next page of results.

  • previous (string) – The URL of the previous page of results.

  • results (array) – An array of ratings.

  • can_reply (boolean) – Only present if the addon query parameter and show_permissions_for parameters are present. A boolean indicating if the user that made the ratings list request can reply to ratings in that list.

  • grouped_ratings (object) – Only present if show_grouped_ratings query parameter is present. An object with 5 key-value pairs, the keys representing each possible rating (Though a number, it has to be converted to a string because of the JSON formatting) and the values being the number of times the corresponding rating has been posted for this add-on, e.g. {"1": 4, "2": 8, "3": 15, "4": 16: "5": 23}.

By default, the rating list API will only return not-deleted ratings, and include ratings without text. You can change that with the filter query parameter. You can filter by multiple values, e.g. filter=with_deleted,without_empty_body,with_yours
