Is it possible to display Google Reviews for a company that you don't own the Google My Business profile for?
My company works with local artists - many of whom have their own Google Business page.
They want to show the Google Business reviews on their site, but unless I'm reading the documentation incorrectly, you can only pull reviews for accounts you own and control.
If you do not have access to their business, you cannot get the reviews via "Google My Business", which makes sense. There is however also the Places API allowing you to request the 5 latest reviews of a business:

I am creating an app that allows users to rate businesses (who are our customers). The businesses would like the user reviews to be cross-posted to their Google Business Profile in addition to appearing as an in-app review in our ecosystem. Does anyone know if there is a way to embed a Google-blessed widget in a mobile app that would allow posting a review to the Google Business Profile?
New reviews can only be created via Google Maps UI or the Google Knowledge Graph UI. The Google Business Profile APIs only support listing and replying to reviews (https://developers.google.com/my-business/reference/rest/v4/accounts.locations.reviews).
So the closest way to get directly to posting a new review would be via this URL pattern:
https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=<PLACE_ID>
e.g.
https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJj61dQgK6j4AR4GeTYWZsKWw
I'm looking for an api or another way to grab posts (not reviews) from google my business and embed them to a website. We don't want to have to place the updates/posts at two different places...google my business and the actual website.
I'm already grabbing reviews using the google places API but didn't find any solutions for actual posts
appreciate any directions to the end result...thank you
You can do this through the Google My Business API
The method to fetch Google My Business posts is accounts.locations.localPosts.list
I'm working with a client who would like to integrate management of google reviews into an existing app (used by many franchise locations).
The problem is that I cannot figure out how to get access to review data from a 3rd party.
The "Google My Business API" requires filling out a form, and seems to be for your own business only. And obviously I don't want to have to ask every franchise to create a new API in the google API console so I can get access.

Each franchise has a google "my business" account they use to see reviews and manage their location, but that's it. No api access, etc.
Is there some way to get at these APIs with OAuth? How do reputation apps get access to this information?
My company has several customers interested in integrating our marketing software with Pinterest. I've seen lots of articles about Pinterest's ads API, but the closest I've seen to it being "live" is an article announcing their marketing development partners.
Is the Pinterest ads API publicly available, and if so, do I get access when I sign up as a regular Pinterest developer (and where are the docs)? If not, is there any notice announcing when it will be?
Situation is:
we sell our games through Google Play;
we have our own statistics service which counts income and all other financial metrics (it's server application);
we used google checkout API in this service to get information about game purchases from Google Play (income in particular);
after google checkout API was dismissed we couldn't find a way where get this information from.
The question now is: how to get information about game purchases from Google Play? I mean not only in-apps but also purchases of premium games.
Note, you can process the CSV monthly transaction report files from the "Financial Reports" tab using this tool (they have filenames like PlayApps_201401.csv):

Full disclosure: my company wrote and open sourced this tool after much searching for something similar. Hope it's useful to others! (It works with Amazon Android app store reports too).
I've found it myself. There is no notifications mechanism in Google Play now. But you can get game purchase information by downloading financial reports from Google Console. There are reports, which contain transactions (not agregated) info, including financial stats. This reports can be downloaded automaticaly from Google Cloud Storage. See "Financial Reports" tab at Developer Console for details.
