YellowAPI: Helping Developers Reach Their Innovation Potential
We like to call it Canada’s local API. YellowAPI which is the public API for Yellow Pages Group, offers a gateway to the largest geocoded business listing database in the country. It gives developers around the world access to our database of 1.5 million business listings for use within their application. We currently have over 3,000 developers on the YellowAPI roster. Some great examples of how YellowAPI has been used for app development includes Poynt, AroundMe, Wikitude and AutoFocus.ca.

A big part of YellowAPI’s program is developer outreach. We partnered with HackDays to support local hackathons and sponsored local development meet-ups such as DevTO, HTML Toronto, and TorontoJS. We continue that outreach momentum by supporting initiatives such as HackerNest Construct hackathon in Toronto, McHacks hackathon and ConFoo developer conference in Montreal. Look for Yellow Pages Group and YellowAPI in more tech events this year!

Now, we’re upgrading YellowAPI’s content. Last year, we started testing the Deals API (powered by one of our web properties, RedFlagDeals.com) and as of today we’re making it available by invite-only beta. The Deals API is just as complete as the Places API and taps into the coupons and deals data curated by RedFlagDeals.com’s editorial team and forum members (affectionately known as RFDers). It also aggregates neighbourhood deals from YellowPages.ca and other prominent Canadian deal destination sites. With tens of thousands of active deals and coupons Canada-wide, updated 24/7, Deals API is among the most authoritative API of its kind.

Developers can leverage YellowAPI by finding deals/coupons near a geocode, nationally, or by a YellowPages.ca listing ID. Results can be restricted by category, content type, and/or keywords. Documentation and SDKs are available on YellowAPI.com and access can be requested through YellowAPI developer console.

With YellowAPI, we provide the tools to help make your ideas a reality. It’s all about getting the right information to bring your app to life with accurate results that range from hyperlocal to nationwide.
