Google plus API for fetching business reviews?

Question

Is there any php api to get business reviews from google plus?

sample business page url: https://plus.google.com/112164489386569071900/about?gl=IN&hl=en-IN

Solution 1

I strongly suggest you to use Google Places API: I guess the results are the same as the one displayed on G+

Solution 2

Reviews are now available via the API. See the Place Details API - https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/details

Here is a sample response.

EDIT: There is a limit of 5 reviews.

No, there isn't, the Google Plus api is still very limited, it only has access to:

• Users
• Posts
• Comments

As an alternative, you could look into the Yelp API.
