Current its not working and passing error. may be some deprecated by google after that its not working. Please help me out as soon as possible because its affect on live product and can't able to show review.

$http = new GuzzleHttp\Client([

]);
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setHttpClient($http);
$client->setApplicationName('Magic Minds WEB');
$client->setAuthConfigFile(CLIENT_SECRET_PATH);
$client->setRedirectUri(redirectUri);
$client->setScopes("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/business.manage");
$client->setAccessType("offline");
$client->setApprovalPrompt("force");

$mybusinessService = new Google_Service_MyBusiness($client);

$credentialsPath = tokenJson;

// Load previously authorized credentials from a file.

$accessToken = (array)json_decode(file_get_contents($credentialsPath));

$client->setAccessToken($accessToken);

// Refresh the token if it's expired.

if ($client->isAccessTokenExpired()) {

$client->refreshToken($client->getRefreshToken());

file_put_contents($credentialsPath, json_encode($client->getAccessToken()));

}

// For testing purposes, selects the very first account in the accounts array

$accounts = $mybusinessService->accounts;

// echo "<pre>";
//print_r($accounts);

$accountsList = $accounts->listAccounts()->getAccounts();
print_r($accountsList);
$account = $accountsList[2];

$locations = $mybusinessService->accounts_locations;

$locationsList = $locations->listAccountsLocations($account->name)->getLocations();

$location = $locationsList[0];

// Lists all reviews for the specified location

$reviews = $mybusinessService->accounts_locations_reviews;

$listReviewsResponse = $reviews->listAccountsLocationsReviews($location->name);

$reviewsList = $listReviewsResponse->getReviews();

Google is shutting down that api as stated in the error message. They have stated

Starting April 30, 2022, the following four API methods will return errors with increasing frequency, ramping up to 100% shut down within 30 days.

As today is June 07, 2022 You are past the 30 day grace period. So the error message you are getting is the result of that.

This API will soon be deprecated. Please migrate all the usages to My Business Account Management API - https://developers.google.com/my-business/reference/accountmanagement/rest"

I would just start to migrate to the new api as they have directed, This is not something you can fix as that API no longer exists.

See accounts management api
