Teams can now invite members with granular role-based access control. Generate unique API keys per person or environment (dev, staging, prod), track usage by team member, transfer ownership when roles change, and separate billing access from development work. The system includes four distinct roles: Admin, Developer, Billing, and Viewer. This makes it easier for engineering teams, agencies, and organizations to collaborate.

Unlike the [Google Maps Reviews API](https://serpapi.com/google-maps-reviews-api), this new API supports Google Hotels-specific filter categories such as "Dining," "Service," "Atmosphere," and more, giving developers precise control over the types of reviews they extract. This API enables more targeted analysis of guest satisfaction across different dimensions of service.
