The API Documentation is organized as follows:

Audience

This document is intended for website and mobile developers who want to enhance their current local content experience with basic and enhanced business information, deals, reviews, local search functionality, and multiple monetization tools. This guide provides an introduction and reference materials for using the CityGrid API.

The CityGrid REST APIs allow you to obtain and post information about local content. REST makes it easy to write and test applications. You can try out the various URLs by using a browser, and you can build mobile or web applications that interact with the APIs using any programming language that allows you to make HTTP calls.
