# Update a Google review

> Update an existing Google review.

**Access:** an API key with `content:google-reviews:write` (or a master above it: `content:google-reviews:all`, `content:all`, `admin:all`). In published mode (the default) it goes live too, so the key also needs `content:google-reviews:publish` (or a master above it); send `aposMode=draft` (or a draft `_id` and no `aposMode`) to change only the draft. A signed-in person may call it as far as their own permissions allow; anyone else gets 403.

**Rate limit:** the key’s own writes-per-minute limit, set when the key is created (default 120); over it, 429 with `Retry-After`.

  title: Fetchski Attract CMS API
  description: >-
    Auto-generated OpenAPI spec for this Fetchski site instance. Authenticate
    machine-to-machine requests with an API key by sending the header
    `Authorization: ApiKey <token>`. Keys are issued in the CMS (API Keys) and
    carry scopes that limit them to specific actions. Each key also has its own
    security policy, chosen when it is created: a signing mode (token only,
    signed writes, or every request signed with the key’s signing secret via
    `X-Fetchski-Timestamp` + `X-Fetchski-Signature`), an optional network
    allowlist, and reads/writes-per-minute limits (429 with `Retry-After` over
    them). Some routes require a signature from every key — see each route.

  - name: SDK Packages
    description: >-
      The site’s own npm registry and Composer repository for the Attract SDKs,
      so an app installs them with one of the site’s API keys. Point npm, pnpm,
      Bun or Composer at them; the SDKs never call them.

      are then translated with each type’s localize routes.

      The site’s whole-page starting arrangements. They are not pages of the
