Hi everyone,
I’m trying to display all Google Business reviews on my website, including reviewer name, star rating, and comment.
Here’s what I have so far:
I have a Google Cloud project and enabled the Google Business Profile API.
I have the Account ID and Location ID for the business.( I could not get it form API, I am just guessing those are the IDs)
I also have a token (access token / refresh token).( token.json with refresh token and access token too, but as I mentioned I am not sure)
The problem is:
I’m not sure if the token I have is valid or not.
I don’t know if my OAuth2 setup is correct.
I want to fetch all reviews with PHP and then embed them into HTML on my website.
I’ve tried reading token.json / google_tokens.json and using the access token in PHP, but I always get errors or empty results.
In summary I know I need oauth2, accountID, locationID, access token, redirect url, clientID, client secret.
Questions:
How can I verify that my access token and refresh token are valid?
How can I get and use the Account ID, Location ID, and tokens to fetch all reviews reliably?
Is there a recommended way to automatically refresh tokens in PHP so I don’t have to generate new ones every hour?
Ultimately, how can I output all reviews in HTML with reviewer name, stars, and comment?
Any help, code examples, or guidance on the correct flow would be greatly appreciated!
