Data API / DataForSEO / Business Data
Setting Live Google My Business Questions and Answers Tasks
The questions and answers on a Google Business Profile, found by keyword and location_code. Returns keyword, se_domain, location_code, language_code, check_url, datetime, cid, feature_id and item_types. Wrapped in DataForSEO's envelope: data in tasks[0].result, outcome in tasks[0].status_code - a rejected request still returns HTTP 200.
Parameters
No path, query, or header parameters.
