# Listings API > Listings API is a REST API, typed Python and Node SDKs, and a hosted MCP server for local business listings, citations, reviews, posts, and analytics. Publish a business once and fan it out across 80+ directories, maps, and answer engines. Base URL: https://listingsapi.com, with every path under `/api/v4`. Authenticate each request with the header `Authorization: API `. The interface is described by an OpenAPI 3.1 document covering 56 operations across 7 resource groups, and the same objects are available through the typed SDKs and the hosted Model Context Protocol server. ## Products: Solutions - [Listings management](https://www.listingsapi.com/listings): Publish a business once, distribute it to every citation in its plan, and read a verified sync status per citation. - [Review management](https://www.listingsapi.com/reviews): Read reviews from Google, Facebook, and Yelp in one stream, and post owner replies to Google and Facebook through a single endpoint. - [Multi channel publishing](https://www.listingsapi.com/posts): Compose one post, publish it to Google and Facebook, and read per channel status, live links, and metrics. - [Local analytics](https://www.listingsapi.com/analytics): Google, Facebook, and Bing performance per location and date range as JSON, plus review reputation. - [Solutions](https://www.listingsapi.com/solutions): How teams ship local marketing inside their own product. ## Capabilities and limits Channel coverage differs by capability. These boundaries are exact: - Listing and citation sync: every citation included in the plan, up to the full network. - Review reading: Google and Facebook on every plan; Yelp on Growth and Enterprise. - Review replies: Google and Facebook only. Yelp is read only; check `canRespond` before replying. - Posts: Google and Facebook only, as announcements, events, or offers. There is no in place edit; delete and repost. - Analytics: Google, Bing, and Facebook only, plus review reputation. - Pagination: Relay style cursor connections using `first`, `after`, `last`, and `before`, returning `edges` and `pageInfo`. There is no offset or page number paging. - Rate limits: 10 requests per minute on Launch, 50 on Growth, negotiated on Enterprise. ## Products: Core platform - [REST API reference](https://docs.listingsapi.com/docs): Every endpoint, parameter, and response shape. Resource groups are Locations, Listings, Connected Accounts, Reviews, Posts, Analytics, and Supporting APIs. - [MCP server](https://www.listingsapi.com/mcp): A hosted Streamable HTTP Model Context Protocol server that exposes the API to AI clients. Connect with `claude mcp add --transport http listingsapi https://listingsapi.com/mcp --header "Authorization: API "`. - [How it works](https://www.listingsapi.com/how-it-works): An interactive tour from first call to first synced citation, including an in browser request playground. - [Compare](https://www.listingsapi.com/compare): Listings API against legacy local marketing platforms and against building the integrations in house. ## SDKs and tooling - Python SDK: `pip install listingsapi`.

It is not a business data lookup service, a points of interest search index, or a scraper, and it does not return a searchable database of arbitrary businesses. Use it when a business you control needs to be published, synced, or monitored across the network. ## Company - [Documentation](https://docs.listingsapi.com/docs): Full REST reference, SDK guides, and MCP setup. - [About](https://www.listingsapi.com/about): What Listings API is and who builds it. - [Contact](https://www.listingsapi.com/contact): Sales scoping.
