Invalid reveiew-url2 returned in product serach by pid

  1. On doing product search with API v2,
    http://api.shopping.com/scripts/GSIsapiExt.dll/linkin_id-xxxxx/sf-1/pid-44849903

    <id>Canon-PowerShot-G9</id>
    <num-product-reviews>9</num-product-reviews>
    <review-url>
    http://www.shopping.com/xPR-Canon-PowerShot-G9~PD-44849903~FD-7185~kworg-~kw-~linkin_id-8005272~DMT-7~VK-8005272
    </review-url>
    <review-url2>
    http://api.shopping.com/scripts/GSIsapiExt.dll/sf-10/linkin_id-8005272/PR-44849903~4.5~~Canon-PowerShot-G9~
    </review-url2>


    I get the results showing, the snippet of which is shown above. Earlier review-url2 would return valid reviews, but now it's just returns.
    <dsp ver="2.0" mode="summary">
    <result type="10">
    </result>
    </dsp>

    Something changed or my code is broken. Please respond ASAP, as it's a critical bug for us.

    Thanks

    Hi Vinod -

    There have been some changes in our catalog which have affected reviews in API2. If possible, I would suggest moving to API3 (at least for the reviews query) where this request not only works, but is much simpler, as you only need the product ID to make the request. E.g.

    http://sandbox.api.shopping.com/publisher/3.0/rest/GeneralSearch?apiKey=authorized-key&trackingId=7000610&productId=44849903&showProductReviews=true&numItems=0
