Space Reviews API

We have our Space Reviews API call, which returns a listing of all Coworker.com user reviews on a given Coworking space, which is targetted by a set of lat/long geo-coordinates and Space Name. It is designed to allow you to pull in reviews on spaces that YOU have on your site and should be called when your space page loads to get the latest reviews. The Space name you provide will be searched for within a 1KM radius of the geo-coordinates you provide using natural language search, meaning the exact words and order of words doesn't have to match with our space names exactly.
See below for request details. The listing can be delivered in json, xml, html, or csv formats.

The space is hosted by amazing members that bring so much passion to the Hub it's hard not to feel like you can really change the world from the second you walk in the door. I'd defiantly recomend this place for anyone who wants/needs more than just a co-working space, this is a place for people with a mission.
