Get list of accounts via Google Business API

Ultimately, I am trying to get all reviews for a business location.

I have gone through the basic setup guide here https://developers.google.com/my-business/content/basic-setup

I have access to the project in Google Cloud Platform and am a manager in Google My Business.

To test things, I am using the OAuth 2.0 Playground. I tried calling https://mybusinessaccountmanagement.googleapis.com/v1/accounts but it just returns details of my own account:

{
  "accounts": [
    {
      "vettedState": "NOT_VETTED", 
      "type": "PERSONAL", 
      "name": "accounts/1234567890", 
      "verificationState": "UNVERIFIED", 
      "accountName": "account name"
    }
  ]
}

I was expecting to see details of the business account?

I tried calling https://mybusiness.googleapis.com/v4/accounts/1234567890/locations/qwertyuiop/reviews but get this:

{
  "error": {
    "status": "NOT_FOUND", 
    "message": "Requested entity was not found.", 
    "code": 404
  }
}

This feels like a permissions problem but I cannot find any information about the requirements or any helpful information at all!

Can anyone help?

The Bearer authorization token needs to generated using the Google account that actually has access to the locations. You seem to be using your personal Google account. Please take a look at the basic setup guide from the documentation on making a simple HTTP request:

Steps 1-6 are about your application and the general access to the GBP APIs.

Step 7-8 are about using the Google account that actually has access to the location data. So here, you need to use the business's Google account that has location ownership.
