Is there an API request URL to get products sorted by rating?

I need to get products sorted by rating, but can't find the correct API request for this in the API documentation. Is there any API request that returns this, or there is any sorting option for produ...

The 13.6 release added a rest api to fetch all products:

/restapi/vc/products/all

Hope this helps!

MichaelD : The call to returns all products, but there's no rating information.

 

/restapi/vc/products/all

 

I also don't think the products are order by rating, right?

    The rest endpoint for returning all products currently has no relationship to rating. This means no rating information is returned with the call and the order in which products are returned has no relationship to the rating of the product.

      MichaelD so is there any way to achieve that goal?

       

      as thilo pointed out, there's a leaderboard, but the documenation is quite unclear.

       

      Thank you very much!

        A product is not required to have associated rating information. This is the reason that the /restapi/vc/products/all was implemented such that all products would be returned independent of the rating.

        Once you have obtained the id for a product you will be able to call the endpoint /restapi/vc/products/id/34/ratings/key/key to obtain the rating information for the product.

        Presently the rest API does not provide a single endpoint for obtaining a list of products ordered by ratings. But the two endpoints discussed here can be used to build such a list.

        I hope this helps.
