Pull review from Google Maps using Review API

Hello everyone, I’m having some issues when trying to test the review API.

I created a new account and then I created a “Test” playground account

I have tried to add some data in my account in order to have reviews to test the Reviews API.

I added the name and the address of our office (we have 2 reviews on Google Maps)

I assigned a sample License to unlock the Reviews tab

What I expected was that I was able to get reviews from Google Maps and display them from the Yext Platform, but I can’t find any reviews in any time range

So my questions are:
• How can I get reviews from Google Maps inside the platform?
• Can I get reviews from competitors or do I have to be the owner of the location to get reviews?
• How can I import some samples entities in my account just to test the Review API?
• In the tutorials I see multiple entity types in the Add Data modal (not just Location), how can I unlock them?

Thanks
