Import ratings from open source site

No, not unless you can get a list of all users who rated along with their rating. If you can get that, then you can automate creating a review for each user with their corresponding rating.

The average rating number doesn’t help, as this is calculated automatically by Site Reviews from the sum of all existing 1-5 star review ratings.

Well it’s possible but not economical. I’d have to scrape the site or search by every username in the database or something because it’s not directly part of the API.

My options are
https://api.discogs.com/releases/11873456/rating
https://api.discogs.com/releases/11873456/rating/12-Inch-Love

Getting those usernames isn’t directly possible from the API from what I can tell. I could get them manually by looking at the site here…
https://www.discogs.com/release/stats/11873456

…but there are thousands of products. Is it possible to name them all “collected from discogs.com”? It’s open source so it’s a legitimate source.

I’ve seen other ecommerce sites doing similar:

(but yes, they have the username here, not just the “collected on moosejaw” part.

Site Reviews is built around reviews (which have ratings). Because the rating average is dynamically adjusted when new reviews are submitted or deleted, it would not work to add the average rating yourself.

You could always try to import the discogs ratings yourself to your own product meta_key and display them in your theme template separate from (or in addition to) Site Reviews.

As there has been no reply in over a week, I will mark this topic as resolved.
