I want to create local post on google using google's PHP My Business API V4.

Sample code is below

$mybusinessService = new \Google_Service_MyBusiness($client);
$local = new \Google_Service_MyBusiness_LocalPost();

$path = $locname.'/localPosts';
$response = $mybusinessService->accounts_locations_localPosts->create($path,$local);

where $locname is string of accounts/locations id.

above code throws exception 'Request contains an invalid argument.'

I want to know that how to create post or post data using PHP api.

Any help would be appreciated.

For brands that have more than ten locations are not allowed to post on GMB through the API. Pull the location and check this flag $location->getLocationState()->getIsLocalPostApiDisabled().

Posting on GMB Ex.

        $posts = $mybusinessService->accounts_locations_localPosts;

        $newPost = new Google_Service_MyBusiness_LocalPost();

        $newPost->setSummary("Order your Thanksgiving turkeys now!!");          
        $newPost->setLanguageCode("en-US");
        $calltoaction = new Google_Service_MyBusiness_CallToAction();

        $calltoaction->setActionType("ORDER");

        $calltoaction->setUrl("http://google.com/order_turkeys_here");

        $newPost->setCallToAction($calltoaction);

        $media = new Google_Service_MyBusiness_MediaItem();

        $media->setMediaFormat("PHOTO");
        $media->setSourceUrl("https://www.google.com/real-turkey-photo.jpg");

        $newPost->setMedia($media); 

        $listPostsResponse = $posts->create($location_name, $newPost);
