Dealer Employee Reviews Collection

This is a consumer-oriented API that can be used to retrieve a paginated list of reviews for a particular employee in a particular dealer. The API only supports the GET verb (fetching data). Note that the results of this API are cached on the DealerRater servers for optimization purposes (as such, new and/or updated employees might not be available through this API for a short while). The reviews are always returned with the latest review first, with older reviews following in descending chronological order.

/Dealers/[dealerId]/Employees/[employeeId]/Reviews

Attribute	Description
dealerId	Set this to the ID of the dealer the employee is in.
employeeId	Set this to the ID of the employee.

For example, the URL for the reviews collection for dealer ID 47 and employee ID 10 is /Dealers/47/Employees/10/Reviews.
