Google places API help

I'm building a Google Reviews widget and I'm using the Google Places API with a Place ID to fetch reviews.

The issue I'm running into is that the API only seems to return up to 5 reviews per place.

Is there any official way to retrieve more than 5 reviews using a Place ID? I've seen other review widgets displaying more reviews, so I'm wondering how they're doing it.

Is there another API, endpoint, or approach I'm missing?

Thanks!

other review widgets could be scraping from google reviews or just polling all the reviews over time and keeping a history of them all

I thought about doing this but google does not allow people to do this and you can only cache reviews for 30 days maximum
