If you have not already acquired the necessary login Credentials, first, follow these steps:

(1B) Credentials - Retrieving Your Google API Key and Google Places ID

To access Google Reviews, you will need both a Google API Key and a Google Places ID. Follow the instructions below to obtain these credentials.

Steps to Retrieve Your Google API Key:

1. Access the Google Cloud Console: Visit the Google Cloud Platform at console.cloud.google.com.

1. Select or Create a Project: Choose an existing project from your list or create a new one if necessary.

3. Enable the Places API

Navigate to APIs & Services and select Enable APIs and Services.

Search for Places API in the search bar and click Enable to activate it for your project.

4. Generate Your API Key

Go to the Credentials tab within your project.

Select Create Credentials, then choose API Key.

5. Copy and Save Your API Key

The system will generate an API Key. Copy the key and save it securely for future use.

How to Find Your Google Places ID

Search for the Business on Google Maps. Open Google Maps and enter the name of the business you wish to access reviews for.

Open the Business Details Panel. Click on the business listing to expand its details panel.

Locate the Place ID.

Right-click on the page and select Inspect (or use your browser's developer tools).

Look for the "data-pid" attribute in the HTML code. The value associated with this attribute is the unique Google Places ID for that business.

Key Points to Remember

● Billing Setup. You may need to set up billing information in your Google Cloud Console to enable the Places API.

● API Restrictions. For security, restrict your API Key to specific domains or IP addresses.

● Place ID Usage. Use the Place ID in your API calls to retrieve Google Reviews for the corresponding location.
