The My Business Lodging API manages lodging-specific attributes for hotels, B&Bs, and other accommodations on Google Business Profile. It exposes a Lodging resource per location that captures amenities, accessibility features, family options, business centre availability, and Google-updated lodging signals so listings appear correctly in Google Search and Google Travel surfaces. Use it together with Business Information for general listing data and Verifications for ownership checks.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use My Business Lodging API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Hotel Amenity Sync

Hotel groups maintain amenity data in a property management system and need it reflected on Google Search and Google Travel. The Lodging API accepts a structured amenity payload per location, so a sync job can patch updated amenities — pool hours, parking type, Wi-Fi tier — straight from the PMS without manual edits in the Business Profile UI.

PATCH /v1/{name} with the lodging body containing updated amenities and an updateMask listing only the changed paths.

Google-Updated Drift Detection

Google sometimes auto-fills lodging signals from third-party sources. Operators use getGoogleUpdated to compare Google's view against the operator's, then patch the canonical record where they disagree. This keeps the operator's data authoritative on properties' Google profiles.

GET /v1/{name}:getGoogleUpdated, diff the response against the operator record, and PATCH any mismatches with the corrected values.

Accessibility Compliance Roll-out

Brands rolling out accessibility commitments across a portfolio need every hotel listing to expose accurate accessibility attributes. The Lodging API has a dedicated accessibility section that can be patched per property in bulk, ensuring the listing matches the on-site reality before audits.

For each hotel location, PATCH /v1/{name} with accessibility fields set and updateMask=accessibility, then GET to confirm persistence.

AI Agent Lodging Curator

An AI agent reachable through Jentic ingests changes from a hotel's CMS and updates the Lodging record on Google. Jentic isolates the OAuth credentials and returns the right Lodging operation per intent, removing the need for the agent to know the discovery document or manage refresh tokens.

Search Jentic for 'update Google Business hotel amenities', load locations.lodging.patch, and execute it with the new amenity payload and an updateMask.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

OAuth 2.0 refresh tokens are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. The agent receives scoped, short-lived access tokens — Google client secrets never enter the agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent (e.g. 'update Google Business hotel amenities') and Jentic returns the matching Lodging operation with its input schema.

Time to first call

Direct integration: 1-2 days for OAuth, quota approval, and PATCH masking. Through Jentic: under an hour — search, load, execute.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Complementary

My Business Business Information API

Edits the general listing content (address, hours, categories) for the same hotel location

Use Business Information for non-lodging fields and Lodging for amenities and accessibility.

Complementary

My Business Verifications API

Verifies ownership of new hotel locations before lodging fields can be edited

Run verification first when standing up a new property; only verified locations accept lodging updates.

Alternative

Google My Business API (v4)

Legacy monolithic API with overlapping but coarser location editing surfaces

Use Lodging v1 for hotel amenities; v4 does not expose the structured lodging schema.

Complementary

Google Places API

Read-only place data including hotel details for end-user discovery

Use Places when you need to read hotel details you do not own; use Lodging when you do.

FAQs

Specific to using My Business Lodging API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the My Business Lodging API use?

OAuth 2.0 with the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/business.manage scope. The user must be an admin of the parent Business Profile account. Through Jentic the OAuth refresh token is stored encrypted in MAXsystem and the agent only sees short-lived access tokens.

Can I update hotel amenities for many properties at once?

There is no batch endpoint. A workflow lists all hotel locations under the account and PATCHes each /v1/{name} with the new lodging body. Use updateMask to limit the fields updated and reduce 429 risk.

What are the rate limits for the My Business Lodging API?

Default quota is 0 QPM until you request Business Profile API access from Google. Once approved Google sets per-minute and per-day quotas; bulk amenity sweeps should pace requests and retry on 429 with exponential backoff.

How do I update hotel amenities through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'update Google Business hotel amenities', load locations.lodging.patch, and execute it with the lodging body and an updateMask listing only the changed amenity paths. Jentic handles OAuth refresh in the background.

What does getGoogleUpdated do?

GET /v1/{name}:getGoogleUpdated returns the lodging fields Google has auto-detected from third-party sources, plus a diff mask versus the operator's data. Use it to detect drift and re-assert authoritative values via PATCH.
