Is "Google Business Profile APIs" free & Can we use it to show the Reviews inside our sharepoint modern pages

[fileonline service]

We want to show our google account's reviews which have high rating, inside our SharePoint Online site collection. And since neither any those approaches will work:-

1. Embed the Reviews using IFrame. since google no more provide a way to embed the reviews using iFrame. Also even if we get this option, we can not filter the reviews and only show the ones which have high rating..
   

2. Use any available web part inside SharePoint online. As SharePoint online does not provide any such Web part out of the box.

So i decided to follow this approach:-

1. Create a custom SPFx
2. The custom SPFx will call the Google Business Profile APIs @ https://developers.google.com/my-business/content/review-data, mainly the "List all reviews".
3. We will filter the reviews and show the latest 10 reviews which have high rating (4 or above out of 5).

So i have these two questions:-

1. Is the Google Business Profile APIs @ https://developers.google.com/my-business/content/review-data, free to be used? or we need to pay for it?

2. Have anyone done this before? creating SPFx to get the Google Reviews?

3.  There is a message on the top of the page indicating :-

   Update your Google Business Profile API integration before critical endpoints are disabled. Review the deprecation schedule and instructions to avoid disruptions starting in April 2022.

   but it mentioned which modules will be disabled, and it stayed the following:-

• GetLocation
• CreateLocation
• DeleteLocation
• ListLocation

so does this include the https://developers.google.com/my-business/content/review-data#list_all_reviews ? If the answer is yes, then which API i need to use to get the Reviews for our google account?

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out. Our team does not support Google Business Profile, so I would recommend reaching out to the Business Profile help center. Looking through the FAQ, it does appear to be free to use.
