Review Resource¶

Provides information on reviews made on a review request.

Each review can contain zero or more comments on diffs, screenshots, file attachments or general comments not tied to any code or file. It may also have text preceding the comments (the body_top field), and text following the comments (body_bottom).

A review may have replies made. Replies are flat, not threaded. Like a review, there may be body text and there may be comments (which are replies to comments on the parent review).

If the ship_it field is true, then the reviewer has given their approval of the change, once all issues raised on comments have been addressed.
