DataForSEO Google Business Profile API

Google Business Profile data API

Google’s official API only manages listings you own. This one reads any business’s profile — rating, hours, attributes, popular times — as structured JSON, at local-SEO scale.

The problem

The official API only opens your own door

Google Business Profile APIs require ownership, verification, and OAuth — useless the moment you need data on a business that isn’t yours.

Competitor profiles are off-limits

Local SEO is a comparison game: their rating, their hours, their attributes, their review velocity. The official GMB API shows you none of it.

Multi-location monitoring by hand

Checking 200 locations for wrong hours, missing attributes, or rating drops means somebody’s whole week — every week.

Setup that kills small projects

OAuth flows, verification, quota requests — heavy machinery when all you need is structured data about local businesses.

Is there an API to get Google Business Profile data for any business?

Yes. The DataForSEO Business Data API returns the full public Google Business Profile of any establishment — you query by business name and location, no ownership or verification required. (Google Business Profile is the current name for Google My Business, so you’ll see both terms — including “GMB API” — used for the same thing.)

How is this different from Google’s official Business Profile API?

Google’s API manages listings you own: it requires OAuth, verification, and approval, and it won’t show you competitors. This API is read-only data on any business — built for competitive analysis, monitoring, and enrichment rather than listing management.

What fields does a profile include?

Title, category, address with coordinates, phone, place ID and CID, claim status, attributes, work hours, popular times, rating with vote counts, and rating distribution — plus place topics extracted from reviews.

Can I get Google reviews too?

Yes — Google Reviews is part of the same Business Data API at $0.00075 per 10 reviews, alongside Business Updates (posts and offers) and Questions & Answers endpoints.

How fast is the data?

Standard queue returns profiles within about 45 minutes at $0.0015 each. Priority delivers in about a minute at $0.003, and Live mode answers in about 6 seconds at $0.0054 per profile.

Can I use this for local rank tracking?

Pair it with the DataForSEO Google Maps SERP API: Maps data tells you who ranks in the local pack, and Business Profile data tells you what their winning profiles look like.

Can I test it for free?

Yes. Every new account gets $1 in free API credits — hundreds of profile pulls — plus free Sandbox access. No credit card, no subscription.

Your local competitors’ profiles are public. Use them.
