# Review Score Certificate API

Download your current Review Score certificate as a PDF, ready to print or share.

> [!NOTE]
> **Who can use it:** Enhanced and Platinum subscribers.

The certificate shows your setting's name and current Review Score, with a QR code that opens your review form on daynurseries.co.uk. It is generated when you request it, so it always shows your latest score.

## Example

This is the same PDF you can download in the Portal under **Reviews > Generate & Display > Review Score Certificate**.

*Example only. The setting is fictional and the QR code links to daynurseries.co.uk.*
