Troubleshooting Google My Business API Activation Failure After Application

Troubleshooting Google My Business API Activation Failure After Application

This is about when I tried to enable the Google My Business API in Google Cloud Console.

It's an API that requires prior access application, and the application itself had already been approved, but

Even when I searched, the "Google My Business API" didn't appear, and I couldn't enable it.

Google My Business API does not appear when searched in Google Cloud Console

Enabled Directly from Cloud Shell with gcloud Command

When I was stuck and asked Gemini, it told me how to enable it directly using the gcloud command.

Launch Cloud Shell from the icon in the upper right corner of the screen.

Screen showing Cloud Shell being launched in Google Cloud Console

Initially, you'll be asked various things about Cloud Shell, but just proceed casually,

Execute the following command in the launched terminal.

gcloud services enable mybusiness.googleapis.com --project=YOUR_PROJECT_NUMBER

Please replace the number after --project with your own project number.

If "finished successfully" is displayed, the activation is successful.

Screen showing gcloud services enable mybusiness.googleapis.com command succeeded

When I opened "Enabled APIs & Services", "Google My Business API" was now displayed!

Screen showing Google My Business API listed with a 'Private' label in the Enabled APIs & Services list

That's all about how I couldn't enable the Google My Business API and managed to enable it directly with the gcloud command.

If you find that "the application should have been approved, but it doesn't appear in search...", try enabling it by directly specifying the service ID with the gcloud services enable command, instead of relying on the search in the Cloud Console UI.

Even if you can enable it, if you encounter errors when calling it, the quota might still be 0, so please also check the approval status of your Google Business Profile API access application.
