Changes to Reviews and Questions on UE Marketplace

This is so Insane, I thought the JSON export was an official method provided by Epic to let users download data, and I’ve just discovered that it relies on user-made Discord bot…

From Unreal Slackers Discord:

From my bot dashboard (https://www.uebot.net/) Add Bot to your discord, search for your product in the drop down and it will cache your reviews and questions. 

If you are technically savvy and dont want the added hassle or worry of inviting a bot to a discord:
Question: 
 https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/api/review/$%7BproductId%7D/questions/list?start=0&count=10&sortBy=CREATEDAT&sortDir=DESC

Review:
https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/api/review/$%7BproductId%7D/reviews/list?start=0&count=10&sortBy=CREATEDAT&sortDir=DESC

You will want to replace ${productId} with your products ID that Epic has assigned to your product. You will want to replace count/start based on your needs start = the position of search cursor (0 the beginning) you will see a payload at the bottom of the JSON that says "total" divide the total by the count and round down that will give you the number of "starts" you need to get all your review/questions.

I would typically hold this information close to my chest but getting your reviews and questions is significantly more important than possibly getting a few new users to the bot. I will work on creating a small little website tonight to search for your product and then download the reviews and questions for all to use without the bot for free.
