Deprecation schedule

What do I need to know?

Over the course of 2021, we launched a new set of APIs to help you manage your Business Profile. Our new set of APIs provide you greater API consumption flexibility, and help us to release new product updates faster. In addition to the new APIs launched, we also have launched the new Business Profile Performance API. Please check below for the current list and past list of deprecated resources and their replacements if applicable.

What do I need to do?

Business Profile Performance API

Update to the new Business Profile Performance API to continue getting insights on your business profile. Please explore the new locations.fetchMultiDailyMetricsTimeSeries API method that allows fetching of multiple DailyMetrics objects with a single API request. Note that v4 locations.reportInsights and its associated API resources have been deprecated on March 30, 2023.

My Business Business Calls API

In addition, please note that My Business Business calls API will be deprecated on May 30, 2023. If you are using the My Business Business calls API, please follow the below steps:

  1. Use UpdateBusinessCallsSettings to disable call history for business locations that were enabled using the API. Once the API is deprecated on May 30, 2023, you will only be able to disable call history using the Google Business Profile UI in Google Maps or Google search.
  2. Discontinue using the My Business Business calls API method to avoid disruption.

My Business Business Information API

We will also be deprecating locations.associate and locations.clearLocationAssociation API methods which are part of My Business Business Information API on May 30, 2023.

API versions

  • Support Ended indicates that the version of the API will continue to function as expected, but may not be updated with new features or bug fixes. Support will be limited.
  • Discontinuation indicates that the version of the API will always return errors and will soon be shut down.
