List Google Business Profile categories

Changed on

Lists the business categories Google accepts for a region, localized to languageCode. Use the returned name (e.g. categories/gcid:afghani_restaurant) as the primary category when creating or updating a location.

Not location-scoped: works for a Google Business Profile account that has no location yet.

query matches only the START of the display name in languageCode (Restaurante returns Restaurante afgano, but afgano returns nothing). Results are paginated with nextPageToken, 100 per page.
