This page provides a high-level overview of the Bazaarvoice Product Sentiment Export suitable for all audiences.
Introduction
The Bazaarvoice Product Sentiment Export provides an HTTP interface for bulk requesting Bazaarvoice product sentiment insights data. The Product Sentiment Export offers the following benefits:
- A service optimized for downloading product sentiment insights data in bulk.
- A single source for your product sentiment insights data from the Bazaarvoice network.
- A complete snapshot of all product sentiment insights data available at least monthly.
Use case
The Product Sentiment Export is designed to return data in bulk, meaning it has been optimized for downloading large sets of data. As a result, round-trip latency - the time between request and response - of seconds or more should be expected. You should plan your Product Sentiment Export usage so that you have downloaded the data before it is needed, instead of making requests in response to real-time user interaction.
English, French, German and Spanish content only
Product sentiment insights are only available for content written in the English, French, Spanish and German languages. As a result, the Product Sentiment Export only returns data in these languages.
Prerequisites
To use the Product Sentiment Export you must meet the following prerequisites:
- Access to Bazaarvoice Ratings and Reviews
- The ability to meet the level of effort guidelines.
Level of effort
Using the Product Sentiment Export is not the same as using a Bazaarvoice hosted solution; You will be building your own application that incorporates data provided by Bazaarvoice. The Product Sentiment Export returns this data in a machine-readable format which you will then use in an application that you must build, host and maintain. To successfully use this product your team should meet the requirements described below.
Product Sentiment Export application
Our expectation is that clients using the Product Sentiment Export will be able to build an application that will interact with the Product Sentiment Export, store the product sentiment insights data, manage relationships within the data, and distribute the data to your other applications. This is depicted in the image below:
In this image, the Client PSI Application icon represents the application you would build to interact with the Product Sentiment Export. The Client Application icons represent your end-user facing applications, such as mobile apps or product detail pages.
This design limits the copies of product sentiment insights data and as a result eliminates the possibility of multiple database replicas becoming out of sync with the Bazaarvoice authoritative system of record.
