POST
Reference example
Queues a Google Business Profile lookup, returning a task id. Asynchronous: submit returns a task id in tasks[0].id, fetch returns the result once ready, and the charge lands on the submit - fetching is free, including re-fetching. Wrapped in DataForSEO’s envelope: data in tasks[0].result, outcome in tasks[0].status_code - a rejected request still returns HTTP 200. The live twin post_dataforseo_business_google_gmb_info_live answers immediately and is simpler for a single profile; queue when the batch is large.

Example

Cost and request rules

Published reference values are not an account-specific quote or a settled charge. For endpoints supporting X-AISA-Cost-Mode: quote, obtain a free quote for your exact request before execution; reconcile the settled cost with response metadata and Usage Logs. USD amounts use 1,000,000 integer micro-USD per dollar.
  • Default request reference estimate (USD): 0.2428
  • Cost contract: response_usd
  • Published reference multiplier: 1.0
  • Settlement evidence source: response_body
