Request

Exactly one of placeUrl or placeId is required. A request that sets both, or none, fails with invalidRequest.

import { Stophy } from "stophy";

const stophy = new Stophy({ apiKey: process.env.STOPHY_API_KEY });
const result = await stophy.google.maps.reviews({ placeId: "ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4" });
console.log(result.data.results);

from stophy import Stophy

stophy = Stophy()  # reads STOPHY_API_KEY
result = stophy.google.maps.reviews(place_id="ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4")
print(result["data"]["results"])
