Api to post reviews
Hi i am developing a android app now i want to add a write review features to my app.I searched through a docs but i can't find a api to post review if u guys know anything about post review api please reply fast i need to complete the app within this week

As far as I know, it's not possible.
You can only add or remove data from your lists.
Cannot edit movie data via API.

So I am trying to open write review page via browser, like this:
https://www.themoviedb.org/review/new?media_type=movie&media_id=5886bfcd925141197d001333
But the media_id seem not what we got from api /movie/{movie_id}
Please help me figure out how to open that review page

Thank you

My knowledge doesn't reach that much. :-)
I think only Travis Bell can answer your question.
But I think when you click on create a review an ID is generated for that review.
I don't know if it's possible to generate it without being through the Website.

@travisbell Since there is no option to post a review via the API, devs should be able to at least route the users to TMDB website. Kindly look into it.

I think the only way for users to write a review is by visiting the movie’s review list page:

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/{MOVIE_ID}/reviews

From there, users can click the "Write Review" button.

So the best we can do for now is to direct users to that review list page and let them initiate the review process from there.

Of course and probably that's the reason why there are very few reviews available on TMDB. There should be ease of posting reviews, a new API for that and a bunch of user-friendly apps can solve this issue.
