Limitations
Important: Review the following limitations from Zillow’s Review API FAQ to avoid unexpected errors.
- Include the approved Zillow logo on your website wherever reviews appear. Easy Zillow Reviews includes this logo, but you can disable it in Settings > Easy Zillow Reviews if you wish to add it elsewhere adjacent to the Reviews per the Branding Guidelines.
- Include the Mandatory Disclaimer wherever reviews appear. Easy Zillow Reviews includes this disclaimer, but you can disable it in Settings > Easy Zillow Reviews if you wish to add it elsewhere (such as in the footer).

- No more than 1,000 calls to the Reviews API in a day, and no more than 20 on one page at one time. Easy Zillow Reviews will display a simple text error message to help identify the problem if Zillow blocks your ZWSID or ZPID for any reason. Zillow may permit more calls for your account upon request. Per the FAQ, you may reach out to huann@zillow.com or reviewsapi@zillow.com for more info.
