This page describes the response Author resource. The Author resource is the writer of the review response.

Request

The following code block shows a sample request. Go to the Tools section to access interactive tools and applications that help you work with the Response API.

GET https://[stg.]api.bazaarvoice.com/response/v1/clientResponses/{responseGuid}/author?passkey={PRIVACY_API_PASSKEY} HTTP/1.1

Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}
…
Older applications may be using https://[stg.]api.bazaarvoice.com/contentmanagement as the base URL for the Response API, instead of https://[stg.]api.bazaarvoice.com/response. The contentmanagement URL has been deprecated. However, Bazaarvoice will continue to support applications that use the contentmanagement URL until further notice.

Ellipses (…) in above example indicate that your app may generate other headers.

Body

A successful response will contain a JSON object in the body. The following demonstrates a typical successful creation of a client response: 

{
    "data": {
        "type": "author",
        "id": "1"
    },
    "links": {
        "self": "https://[stg.]api.bazaarvoice.com/response/v1/clientResponses/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX/author",
        "related": "https://[stg.]api.bazaarvoice.com/response/v1/clientResponses/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX/author"
    }
}

The response syntax follows the JSON API specification, exposing data, links, and relationships nodes.
