REST
ShippingPOST /api/v1/reviews/postsMCP tool
Livereviews.postsExposed on: REST API · Shop MCP server · Claude connector · Dash (in-app copilot) · Zapier. Part of the Reviews domain.
Operating contract
What the shop has posted to its own public listing — updates, offers and events — with what state each one is in.
status says whether a post is a draft, scheduled, live or failed. A FAILED post is the finding: it never reached the public, and nothing else in the product will mention it. error says why.
publish_at in the future is a scheduled post that has not gone out yet.
search_url is where the post can actually be seen, once it is live.
READ ONLY. Publishing a post puts marketing under the shop's name on its own public listing, which is a decision the shop makes rather than an operation.
TRUNCATION: omitted is how many further posts exist. When it is not 0, raise limit.
Who may call it
- Permission
marketing.accessThe caller must hold Reviews & market at the ACT level. A read-only dashboard grant on the same section is refused.- Plan
- Every planNo plan gate. Available on every Service VIN plan.
- Retries
naturalNaturally idempotent — running it twice leaves the same world as running it once. A retrying integration needs no key.- Rate class
readCounted against the read budget — the widest of the four.
Partial answers
omitted is how many matching records are not in the response, and 0 is a real answer meaning you have all of them. There is no cursor here — narrow the filter instead.

Examples
Built from this capability's own schema — required fields and the ones carrying a default, and nothing invented. Paste one and it validates.

// Success and failure are both envelopes. Switch on error.code, never

The four gates run in this order on every surface, and the order is not arbitrary — see Authentication.
| Status | Code | When |
|---|---|---|
| 404 | not_found | The id is unknown, or the feature is not enabled for this account. Deliberately the same answer for both. |
| 403 | forbidden | This login does not hold marketing.access. |
| 422 | validation_error | An argument was wrong. The message names the field. |
| 429 | rate_limited | Too many read calls. Back off and retry. |
| 500 | internal_error | Something failed on our side. Nothing was changed. |
