How do I get a Google Business Profile with an API?
Send a GET request to /v1/google/business/info identifying the business by keyword, cid, or place_id. SocialCrawl returns the full Google Business Profile — name, category, star rating, address, phone, coordinates, opening hours, attributes, and claimed status — in the unified schema.
How do I identify which business to fetch?
Three ways: pass a keyword (like "Blue Bottle Coffee San Francisco") to match by name and location, a cid (Google's customer ID for a place), or a place_id from Google Maps. Use keyword for discovery and cid or place_id when you already have a stable reference.
Is this a Google Places API alternative?
Yes. SocialCrawl returns the same Knowledge Panel and Maps business data without a Google Cloud project, OAuth consent screen, or per-place quota. The response uses the same schema as every other SocialCrawl platform, so your code stays identical across TikTok, Reddit, and Google.
Does it tell me if a business is claimed?
Yes. The profile includes the claimed status, so you can tell whether an owner has verified the listing. It also returns category, star rating, address, phone, coordinates, opening hours, and the attributes Google shows on the profile, such as accessibility and service options.
How much does the Google Business Profile API cost?
Each profile lookup costs 1 credit, powered by DataForSEO. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required — enough to pull 100 business profiles before you pay, or mix with reviews and hotels endpoints across the same Google surface.
