Developers & Integrations 🔌
Connect websites, stores and internal systems to Open Review Platform without sharing Business Center passwords.
Business API authentication
Create an API key in Business Center → API and send it as a Bearer token:
Authorization: Bearer orp_live_your_key
Business & trust metrics
GET https://openreviewplatform.com/api/v1/me/business
Returns the authenticated business profile and public trust metrics such as ratings, verification signals, response rate and detailed rating aggregates.
Reviews
GET https://openreviewplatform.com/api/v1/me/reviews?page=1&limit=50
Returns reviews belonging to the authenticated business, including public reviewer information, business replies and verification badges supported by the current API.
Send an honest-review invitation
POST https://openreviewplatform.com/api/v1/me/invitationsContent-Type: application/json
{"email":"customer@example.com"}Invitations request an honest review and are tracked for delivery/conversion. Integrations must not review-gate, selectively invite only happy customers, or condition invitations on a positive rating.
Widgets & webmaster integrations
Business Center also provides embeddable review/trust widgets, traffic counters and uptime badges. Analytics tracking uses the business-specific ORP site key generated in Business Center rather than an API password.
ORP-hosted Business Sites
For sites hosted directly at YourBusiness.OpenReviewPlatform.com, owners do not need to install embed code for supported ORP components. Rating, Review us, visitor counter, latest review, trust badge and transparency components can be switched on inside the Business Site Builder and are rendered by ORP automatically.
WordPress / WooCommerce and custom stores
The included lightweight WordPress integration can display ORP widgets and can use the business API to send review invitations from WooCommerce order workflows. The same API foundation can be used by custom stores, CRMs and other commerce systems.
Security & limits
Keep API keys private, rotate them when exposure is suspected, and give integrations only the access they need. Authenticated API keys are rate-limited and additional abuse protections may apply.
Three review areas + discovery collections
ORP keeps distinct review areas for Businesses & websites, public/professional People, and Movies. It also provides discovery collections such as Books and Trailers that connect public information back to the relevant profiles. Owner, representative and moderation privileges depend on the profile type; being listed never means ORP endorsement.
Manage received reviews from one place
Verified owners can open Reviews of Your Businesses from My Content, see each review and its conversation, publish or manage the Business response, and report/dispute when appropriate. Report history and administrator resolution notes remain tied to the business.
Detailed movie ratings
Alongside the overall score, a Movie review can optionally rate Story, Acting, Direction, Cinematography, and Music / Soundtrack. Published detailed ratings feed the profile averages when available.
Discovered books enrich People profiles
ORP can discover books connected to People through public bibliographic sources, show them on the author profile and collect them in Books. Records can link to Open Library and, where useful, Amazon. Covers are enriched from supported public sources when available. Books is a discovery feature connected to People; it is not currently a fourth review directory.
ORP Connect
ORP Connect is ORP’s free, optional friendship and relationship service for adults. One profile works across all seven language apps. This guide explains publishing and safe edits, audience previews, photos, categorized ORP favorites, discovery, messaging, groups/events, privacy, security, notifications and optional assisted services.
Current ORP features
Use this guide with the detailed instructions on this page. Available controls depend on the profile, verified role and publication status.
Current ORP features
ORP has seven language apps. Reviews, ratings, replies and ordinary participant records remain app-specific. Confirmed public profile counterparts can be linked. Connect is a separate, optional service with one central profile across the seven apps; language switching does not copy private access tokens or create another Connect account.
Review and review-reply forms for Businesses, People and Movies, OpenTalk posts and replies, and ORP Connect blog and group/event editors support bold and italic. Use B/I controls independently: the same text can be bold and italic together, and turning off one preserves the other. Available formatting varies by editor; arbitrary HTML is not enabled. Verification, moderation and editing rules still apply.
Suggested profiles use relevant participation as context and exclude profiles already reviewed by that recipient, including pending reviews. If identity, eligibility or relevant alternatives cannot be established, suggestions are omitted. Existing participation history is not a request to review the same profile again.
Business profile headlines and directory listings show the full domain. A distinct business name is retained without repeating the same domain; profile headings keep the local translation of Reviews. Directory listing names do not add Reviews.
Spanish, French, Portuguese, Hindi, Arabic and Persian have local keyboard pages. Open Keyboard in the top navigation or immediately after Help Center in the footer. Use the language layout, Shift, emoji search, copy, selection, undo/redo, counters and local draft recovery. Text stays in the browser.
ORPy explains ORP features in this app’s language and links to this app’s pages. It does not decide moderation, establish the truth of reviews, expose private information or invent a missing language counterpart.
The public ORP Blog offers editorial articles and verified, moderated comments. Separately, ORP Connect members can write audience-controlled blogs, comment on connected authors' posts, and join threaded discussions in groups and events after membership is accepted. The Help Center explains drafts, publishing checks, replies and author controls.
