Response Fields

The response contains account-wide summaries plus a dataPoints entry for each location. Each entry includes the location label, businessNumber, avgResponseTime, and respondedCount for the actual and comparison periods.

Notes

• For the slowest location, use sortBy: "avg-resp-time" and order: 1; for the fastest, use order: 0.
• Response time does not indicate response rate or unanswered count. Use get_review_response_rate_by_location for those metrics.
• avgResponseTime.days, hours, and minutes represent one duration.
