This class misses the API method: https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-php-client-services/blob/3bd53a6929d663b523da375b63cae6ac27207fc8/src/MyBusinessVerifications.php#L4

Hello, thank you for filing an issue. The issue you're having is that the generate method which is found below is not available in the MyBusinessVerifications client as you'd expect.

https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-php-client-services/blob/8e22b0a6f661f2db3f99abb6ee5a1dcf28d370e7/src/MyBusinessVerifications/Resource/VerificationTokens.php#L44

If you look at the MyBusinessVerification's discovery API, which documents all the methods, you can see that the generate method no longer exists. This means that the API has removed that method, which is why this client library reflects that.

My guess is that now the tokens must be generated by a vetted partner, as per the API documentation.

Either way, this client library is accurate according to the linked discovery document, from which it's generated, so there's nothing we can do. You can try creating the VerificationTokens class manually and using that to generate a token, but I don't recommend it, as even if you can get it to work, that API may be turned off at any time.

Good luck!

Yeah, well, the library is accurate now, it wasn't accurate last December. The rest is the fact as per info from Google support mentioned here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77547716/verificationtokens-generate-method-for-google-business-profiles-throws-404/77605450#77605450

This library is updated from the official API daily, with releases taking place every Monday morning. So there is a maximum of a one week delay from releasing any changes in the API.

Thanks for providing the link as confirmation.
