How to get product Review and Rating information by using Magento APIs

Question

I am using Magento API for getting product information from other server i.e.

$soap = new SoapClient('http://example.com/api/soap/?wsdl');
$sessionId = $soap->login('xxxxxxx', 'xxxxxxxx');
$productInfo = $soap->call($sessionId, 'product.info','123');

The above code is ok for me for getting product information, but I have to collect product reviews and rating information for the particular product and I am not getting such a method in Magento APIs list http://www.magentocommerce.com/support/magento_core_api to get it.

So can you help me please? How can I get product Review and Rating information i.e. id, name, text, rating and date using Magento APIs only.

Thanks.

It's not currently possible using Magento's default api. You would need to extend the api. I took a quick look for existing extensions that extended the api to include customer reviews but didn't turn up anything useful.
