  <p>but this does not work for the lists once that you have already activated (and deactivated) the rating setting, at least not on Sharepoint 2013.</p>
  
  <p>I've also checked that there's a ReputationHelper class within the Microsoft.Sharepoint.Portal.dll  and it is used to activate or deactivate this feature:</p>

  <p>so I've tried to open the dll using visual studio but somehow that class is internal, and I wasn't able to inspect the methods. Even used powershell to load the assembly and try to create an instance for that class but it also failed.</p>
  
  <p>Do you know if that class has a method call that allows to get the specific value of this Rating Setting on a list?. I've tried just with GetReputation (a lucky guess), but it did not work.</p>
  
  <p>I've also tried to get the list schema using the rest service <a href="http://sp.mydomain.com/_api/lists/GetByTitle" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://sp.mydomain.com/_api/lists/GetByTitle</a>('Pages') but the schema does not display any property for this. Do  you know a way to get this value for an specific list even when it has been already activated before?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
