Google+ APIs shutting down March 7, 2019

Google announced the shutdown of its legacy Google+ APIs on March 7, 2019, following a progressive phase-out where affected API calls began failing intermittently from January 28, 2019. Despite the deprecation of Google+ Sign-in, developers are encouraged to transition to the more comprehensive Google Sign-in system. New implementations of several Google+ APIs, such as people.get and people.getOpenIdConnect, have been created to maintain basic sign-in functionality by returning essential profile fields like name and email address. While some OAuth scope requests related to Google+ data will no longer be granted, the transition allows for temporary remapping of Google+ sign-in scopes to existing Google Sign-in scopes, facilitating continued use for legacy applications until full migration. Google+ integrations for web and mobile apps are being discontinued, though Google is focusing on enhancing Google+ for enterprise organizations with new features and updates. Developers are advised to eliminate dependencies on Google+ APIs to avoid disruptions and consider alternative APIs, such as Google Sign-in and Google People API, for their applications.
