Reviews

Submit a product review

Submits a review on behalf of a logged-in customer. Requires both an API key and a customer session token.

Reviews are created with status: "pending" and must be approved by the store owner before they appear in public listing results.

Authentication: API key in Authorization: Bearer header and a customer JWT in the x-auth-token header (obtained from POST /v1/auth/login).

Duplicate prevention: A customer may only submit one non-rejected review per product. Attempting a second submission returns 409 Conflict.

Verified purchase: If you provide an order_id that belongs to the authenticated customer’s order history at this store, the review is marked verified_purchase: true.

Rate limit: 10 submissions/hour per IP address.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

API Key Authentication

Use your API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer tybrite_sk_live_YOUR_KEY

Key Types:

Secret Keys (Server-Side Only):

Format: tybrite_sk_live_* (production) or tybrite_sk_test_* (sandbox)
Full read/write access to all endpoints
⚠️ NEVER expose in client-side code or public repositories
Required for: write operations, authentication, payment verification, AI recommendations

Publishable Keys (Client-Safe):

Format: tybrite_pk_live_* (production) or tybrite_pk_test_* (sandbox)
Read-only access (GET requests only, plus POST semantic search)
✅ Safe for client-side JavaScript, mobile apps, and public code
Allowed for: browsing products, search, CMS content, pricing queries

Endpoint-Specific Requirements:

Authentication endpoints (/v1/auth/*): Secret key required
Payment verification (POST /v1/payments/verify): Secret key required
AI Recommendations (POST /v1/recommendations): Secret key required
Semantic Search (POST /v1/search): Both key types allowed (read-only operation)
All write operations: Secret key required
All read operations: Both key types allowed

Using a publishable key for restricted operations returns 403 Forbidden.

Headers

x-auth-token

string

Customer session JWT from POST /v1/auth/login or POST /v1/auth/verify-otp. Provide exactly one of x-auth-token, x-external-auth, or x-idp-token.

x-external-auth

string

Bring-your-own-auth assertion for stores that manage authentication in an external identity provider (Auth0, Clerk, Cognito, Firebase, NextAuth, SSO). Provide exactly one of x-auth-token, x-external-auth, or x-idp-token.

Format: <base64url(JSON)>.<base64url(HMAC-SHA256(JSON))> where the JSON is { "external_id": "...", "iat": <unix>, "exp": <unix> } and the HMAC is keyed on the store's signing secret. Claim lifetime capped at 300 seconds.

x-idp-token

string

A raw token from the store's own identity provider (e.g. a Firebase ID token). Galactic Core forwards it to the store's configured Auth verifier, which validates it and returns the identity.

Verification is fail-closed: if the verifier rejects the token or is unreachable, the request is unauthenticated (401). Requires an Auth verifier to be configured for the store. Provide exactly one of x-auth-token, x-external-auth, or x-idp-token.
