Pull review number from google
Hi to all
I want to pull the rating number from google reviews(the yellow) is this possible?
The best way to get information from a website including Google's search engine and insert it into PowerBI, is to go to Home --> Get Data --> Web --> Insert the web link
Then you will see a selection of tables based on the information displayed on the web link.
After trying on a few google pages it seems that PowerBI cannot retrieve data from the box (with map location and reviews) that appears on the right hand side on the first google page.
I suggest you check whether these reviews are available in another website and use that weblink instead

Hi skourtip ,
Agree with themistoklis ,
Also, You can try the method mentioned in the following case:Google-Reviews-and-Trustpilot
Based on the article, you need to use OAuth credential to access the Google My business API. I would recommend you get OAuth credential first, then use Power Query to connect to the API following the guide in the blog above.
Here is an additional link that I hope will help you with your question.
Power BI + Google Analytics = Power Analytics
Hope it helps,
