New Business Profile API features available
You can now create recurring posts through the
LocalPosts API to keep your customers updated automatically. Additionally, you can access review media items and track your review reply status in the
Reviews API to better manage customer feedback, and retrieve the location place ID in pending invitations through the
Account Management API.
OAuth overview
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Every request that your application sends to the Business Profile APIs must include an
authorization token. The authorization token identifies the user or the application to Google,
which allows access to the Business Profile APIs. Your application must use
OAuth 2.0 protocol to authorize requests.
The
OAuth setup
guide explains the different methods that you can use to implement OAuth 2.0 on your
platform. The Google Identity Platform provides the Google
Sign-In and OAuth functionality that's used throughout this guide.
The implementation of OAuth 2.0 provides the following benefits:
- Protects access to the business owner's data.
- Establishes the identity of the business owner when they sign in to their Google Account.
- Establishes that a partner platform or application can access and modify location data with
explicit consent from the business owner. The owner can later revoke this access.
- Establishes the identity of the partner platform.
- Enables partner platforms to perform online or offline actions on behalf of the business
owner. This includes responses to reviews, creation of posts, and updates to menu items.
- Allows multi-step workflows with multiple participants to be made transparent, such as
management invitations.
