Manage Locations using MyBusiness API

[ssesh]

I am managing a real estate Business Account in Google My Business. Right now, we are using the Bulk upload process to upload a CSV file to add/update our locations.

We are in the process of automating the CSV file generation for our locations.

I want to know if I will be able to use the Google MyBusiness API to Create/Update my locations in My Business.

Do I have to have an account with Adwords to use this API ?

When will the API be available for users not using Adwords?

Thanks,

Hello,

You could use the Google My Business API to upload the locations. You don't need to have the AdWords API account to use the Google My Business API. Please check out the Google My Business API documentation for more details.

Thanks,

Thank you Umesh. Should I request access to use the My Business API? Looks like it is only open for current Adwords API Users

Hello,

Currently, the Google My Business API access is given to the AdWords API users. You could signup to the AdWords API.

Here's some information to get you oriented:

• Developer Documentation: The video on the homepage is a nice overview.
  
• Basic Concepts
• Making Your First Request
• AdWords API Forum: You'll find a lot of answers to your questions, and you can post questions as well.

Thanks,

Umesh, AdWords API Team.
