Now that Google deprecated the user_ratings_total variable in Google Places API, is there a way to get the total number of ratings for a particular business?
I see the answer here user_ratings_total No longer available in google places API. Alternative for getting total number of reviews? , but it suggests using Google My Business API, not Google Places API.
Thanks.
As of Jan 2019 it is possible to get the total number of reviews using Place Details APIs call (user_ratings_total field): https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/details#fields
