1185614 - Allow accessing reviews for apps that aren't available in your region

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Marketplace Graveyard :: API, defect, P3)

Description

[Mark Striemer [:mstriemer]]

If you visit the detail page for an app that isn't available in your region you don't see anything in the reviews section, even if the app has reviews. This is because the reviews API is returning a 403. We shouldn't restrict this data based on the user's region.

Example app: https://marketplace-dev.allizom.org/app/exquisite-sandwich-12/?region=ca

API request: https://marketplace-dev.allizom.org/api/v2/apps/rating/?app=exquisite-sandwich-12&dev=desktop&doc_type=webapp&lang=en-US&limit=24&region=ca
API response: 403 FORBIDDEN - {"detail":"The app requested is not public or not available in region \"ca\"."}

This should be accessible to people familiar with Python and Django, marking as good first bug and setting me as mentor.

Thanks, Lavish!

Note to QA: *posting* a review for an app not available in your region is still impossible - it's accessing the reviews *via the API* that is now possible.
