  PowerReviews' primary integration surface for most customers is not the HTTP
  API at all — it is a client-side display library loaded from
  ui.powerreviews.com that renders reviews, ratings, snippets, Q&A and the
  write-a-review form directly into a retailer's product detail page. The loader
  was probed live on 2026-08-13. PowerReviews publishes no public component
  reference on developers.powerreviews.com (that portal documents only the Read
  and Write HTTP APIs), so the component families below are recorded from the
  served artifact and the product pages, and the per-component configuration
  reference remains customer-only.

    The display bundle was rebuilt the day before this probe, while the HTTP API
    changelog has stood still since 2019. The two surfaces are on completely
    different maintenance tracks: the widget is a living product, the documented
    API is not.

  - name: Write-a-Review form
    kind: embedded-form

configuration_api:
  operation: openapi/powerreviews-readservices-openapi.yml#getConfigurationByMerchantUsingGET
  path: /m/{merchant_id}/l/{locale}/configuration
  note: >-
    The Read API exposes the merchant's display configuration
    (ConfigurationResponse) for a locale, which is the machine-readable half of
    what the widget consumes at render time.
