How to create local post on google my business page using php - php

Question

I need to create a local host using google client api . I wrote following code to crate local post.
$service = new Google_Service_MyBusiness($client);
$callToAction = new Google_Service_MyBusiness_CallToAction();
$callToAction->setActionType('LEARN_MORE');
$callToAction->setUrl('localhost.com');
$mediaItem = new Google_Service_MyBusiness_MediaItem();
$mediaItem->setMediaFormat('PHOTO');
$mediaItem->setSourceUrl('https://www.theanthem.com/images/usps_eddm_postcards.jpg');
$localPost = new Google_Service_MyBusiness_LocalPost();
$localPost->setLanguageCode('en-US');
$localPost->setSummary('Just a summary');
$localPost->setCallToAction($callToAction);
$localPost->setMedia($mediaItem);
$parent = sprintf('accounts/%d/locations/%d',
'116633170334837786295',
'8830395735149945322'
);
$service->accounts_locations_localPosts->create($parent, $localPost);
But Unfortunately I got following error.
My Error: Message: Error calling POST
https://mybusiness.googleapis.com/v4/accounts/9223372036854775807/locations/8830395735149945322/localPosts:
(400) Request contains an invalid argument.
How can i fix this?

I found the answer:
create refresh token
$request_url = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token";
$refresh_token = "*** Refresf Token ***";
$params = [
'client_id' => "***your client id***",
'client_secret' => "***your clinet secret id***",
'refresh_token' => $refresh_token,
'grant_type' => "refresh_token"
];
$curl = curl_init($request_url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER,'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$postData = "";
//This is needed to properly form post the credentials object
foreach($params as $k => $v) {
$postData .= $k . '='.urlencode($v).'&';
}
$postData = rtrim($postData, '&');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);
$json_response = curl_exec($curl);
$response = (array) json_decode( $json_response );
$myaccess_token = $response['access_token'];
And create Post
$location = 'accounts/accoutid/locations/location id';
$api_end_point_url = 'https://mybusiness.googleapis.com/v4/'.$location.'/localPosts';
$postfields = array(
'topicType' => "STANDARD",
'languageCode' => "en_US",
'summary' => 'test post 123',
);
$data_string = json_encode($postfields);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $api_end_point_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Authorization: Bearer '. $myaccess_token,'Content-Type: application/json'));
$data1 = json_decode(curl_exec($ch), true);
$http_code1 = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
