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. 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.

My Business Business Calls API

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

  1. 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 have deprecated locations.associate and locations.clearLocationAssociation API methods which are part of the My Business Business Information API on May 30, 2023.

InsuranceNetworks and HealthProviderAttributes

We have deprecated accounts.locations.InsuranceNetworks and accounts.locations.HealthProviderAttributes API methods which are part of the Google My Business v4.9 API on June 17, 2024.

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.
