My Business Q&A API Discontinuation
On November 3, 2025, we will be discontinuing the My Business Q&A API as we are in the process of updating the Q&A functionality and user experience. After the My Business Q&A API is discontinued on November 3, 2025, you will no longer be able to read or post questions and answers using the API. However, you can continue to access and review your existing data and reporting details through the API until it’s discontinued. Update your workflows to stop using the My Business Q&A API before November 3, 2025.
