See reviews by child ASIN

Hello everyone!

I was wondering if anyone has managed to see reviews per child at some point. I have parents with +20 products, I “may” know which ones are performing better, but I would like to know the exact number of reviews and rating for each child.

Maybe, some of them are lowering my ratings with very bad reviews and removing them from the parent could increase the rating for the other products.

I have been researching and I haven’t found anything. The only way? Split parents in low-sales season, check product by product. This is way too much for me.

Any other ideas or suggestions?

Thank you very much and happy 2025!

Hmm, this is a great question @svil . Does Voice of the Customer break down reviews per variation? :thinking:

Currently I don’t know of any way other than to break the relationship, which is less than desirable.

The Voice of the Customer* functionality was, demonstrably, initially deployed some years back in an (admittedly, somewhat feeble) effort to shed light upon what data Amazon was gathering for its various decision-making processes from Seller Feedback, email-footed Buyer Satisfaction Surveys, Customer Returns Refund Reasons, Buyer Account-selected Return Reasons, and the like.

Despite various tweakings of the proffered level of transparency in recent years, Product Reviews themselves are generally only exposed in various GUI Dashboard and/or downloadable Reports, many of which avenues are typically restricted to members of this or that latest iteration of the Brand Registry Program.

Even though we ourselves have been members of the BRP since its infancy, and throughout all the various iterations it has undergone since, and despite our familiarity with querying Amazon’s databases throughout successive iterations of the MSW API & the SP-API, I’ve yet to find a sustainable way to determine which Product Review was ‘cast’ upon this or that Child ASIN of a Variation Relationship Set, save those rare instances where the Reviewer themselves having offered clues leading to this and that 17-Digit Amazon Order ID.

Consequently, I agree with our friend Oneida:

Thank you everybody for your help.
Sadly, another nonsense from Amazon haha

Just FYI:

the past 2 days I have been doing a big research on this matter. What I found:

  1. it MIGHT be possible to find the reviews count and rating per SKU pressing F12 in Chrome while you are visiting the listing. I don’t know anything about coding but maybe someone that knows can find the information there, and then, create an scraper to get all the data from the parent.

  2. Keepa is somewhat useful:

· Find the category or subcategory in “Data → Best selling products”
· Find yourself in the list
· Disable the “show one variation per product”

By doing this you can find the review count per SKU… BUT the ratings are wrong, just showing the same for each SKU which is not real. So, if Keepa can do it, it has to be possible to scrap it and get an excel with all the data without having to find yourself in a neverending list of sellers.

Happy new year!

Fn + F12 in Chrome brings up the pages code.

  • I see nothing in the code.

On BOTH though we do have this interested code snippet …

Cat? Looks more like a duck to me.
:joy:

No idea on that one.

Programmer humor. Probably along the lines of a reference to “if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck…”

I’m afraid I can’t actually shed light on the main thread topic though.
