Laravel Google My Business
==========================

[](#laravel-google-my-business)

Note: To use the Google My Business API you have to apply for access:

This is a Laravel ready implementation of the Google My Business PHP Library (v4.4) as provided by Google on

Please refer to  for information on how the Google My Business API functions - more useful links are available at the bottom of this document.

Debugging
---------

[](#debugging)

I'm putting this above everything else as it's extremely important. The Google My Business Client library doesn't support detailed error responses: [https://developers.google.com/my-business/content/support#detailed\_error\_responses](https://developers.google.com/my-business/content/support#detailed_error_responses)

So when something goes wrong, you get an extremely unhelpful 400 error message such as `Request contains an invalid argument`.

To get more detailed error messages we need to add the HTTP header: `X-GOOG-API-FORMAT-VERSION: 2` to the request and the error message that gets returned will be a lot more useful.

There isn't a pretty way to do this, but all you need to do is open:

`/vendor/google/apiclient/src/Google/Http/REST.php`

And in the `doExecute` function modify as follows

```
$httpHandler = HttpHandlerFactory::build($client);

// Add the header to the request
$request = $request->withHeader('X-GOOG-API-FORMAT-VERSION', '2');
```

Once you've finished debugging, remove this added line.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Run `composer require ingress-it-solutions/laravel-google-my-business`

Or to install via composer - edit your composer.json to require the package.

"require": { "ingress-it-solutions/laravel-google-my-business": "2.\*" }

Then run `composer update` in your terminal to pull it in.

Laravel
-------

[](#laravel)

**Important**: It's highly recommend you use  to handle the Google Client setup. The code examples further down this document assume you're using this library.

To use this Google My Business package in a Laravel project add the following to the `providers` array in your `config/app.php`

```
IngressITSolutions\LaravelGoogleMyBusiness\GoogleMyBusinessServiceProvider::class,
```

Next add the following to the `aliases` array in your `config/app.php`

```
'GoogleMyBusiness' => IngressITSolutions\LaravelGoogleMyBusiness\GoogleMyBusiness::class
```

Google My Business Discovery document
-------------------------------------

[](#google-my-business-discovery-document)

The Google My Business API discovery document is a JSON document that describes the surface for a particular version of the API. You use the discovery document in conjunction with the Google API Discovery Service.

`mybusiness_google_rest_v4p4.json` has been included with this project for your reference (downloaded from: )

Code example
------------

[](#code-example)

(Work in progress)

```
use Google; // See: https://github.com/pulkitjalan/google-apiclient
use GoogleMyBusiness;

class MyExampleClass
{
  function authRedirect()
  {
    // Define the GMB scope
    $scopes = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.business.manage'];

    // Define any configs that overrride the /config/google.php defaults from pulkitjalan/google-apiclient
    $googleConfig = array_merge(config('google'), [
      'scopes' => $scopes,
      'redirect_uri' =>
        config('app.callback_url') . '/callback/google/mybusiness',
    ]);

    // Generate an auth request URL
    $googleClient = new Google($googleConfig);
    $loginUrl = $googleClient->createAuthUrl();

    // Send user to Google for Authorisation
    return redirect()->away($loginUrl);
  }

  function getAccountName(Google $googleClient)
  {
    $gmb = new GoogleMyBusiness($googleClient);
    return $gmb->getAccountName();
  }
}
```
