Geocaching
Geocaching is a GPS based outdoor game where players use coordinates to search for hidden containers called geocaches, log their find online, and explore new locations for fun.
Geocaching is a GPS based outdoor game, not a business directory, and its site is built around hidden caches and player logs rather than local business listings a company could claim. Listings API has no integration that submits a listing to Geocaching, since nothing there is set up to receive one. What it maintains instead is a business's core citation details, name, category, address, phone, website, and hours, consistent across the directories, maps, and aggregators that are actually part of your plan.
A few API calls keep that record aligned across the network. Listings API lets you:
- Create a location once and publish it to every directory, map, and aggregator your plan covers.
- Update the business name, category, address, phone, website, or hours for that whole set in one call.
- Track publishing status and read back the live listing URL for each citation that goes live.
What Listings API controls for Geocaching
One consistent citation record
Name, address, phone, hours, description, and categories are written once and stay identical across every directory, map, and aggregator in your plan, which are the sources Geocaching draws local business information from. Listings API does not submit to Geocaching directly, so what you control is the record behind it.
Publish status you can query
Per site publish state and live listing links are readable back through the API for every citation on your plan, so you can confirm the underlying record is live from the response rather than opening each directory.
Typed SDKs + MCP
Node.js and Python SDKs with full types, plus a hosted MCP server so agents and LLM tools can drive the same API.

Geocaching + Listings API
Can Listings API publish a business listing to Geocaching?
No. Geocaching is a GPS based outdoor game built around hidden containers called geocaches, not a directory a business can be listed in, so there is nothing on Geocaching for Listings API to publish to. It keeps a business's name, category, address, phone, website, and hours consistent across the directories, maps, and aggregators in your plan instead.
How do I keep a business's details consistent across that network?
Call createLocation with the business name, category, address, phone, website, and hours. That call publishes the record across every directory, map, and aggregator your plan reaches; Geocaching is not one of those direct destinations, but the same underlying record stays aligned with what does publish.
How do I update those details afterward?
Send the changed fields with updateLocation, for example a new phone number, address, or set of hours. One call updates the record across your citation network at the same time, so nothing needs editing site by site, including places like Geocaching that sit outside the direct publishing set.
How long does syncing take, and how do I confirm it?
Publishing runs asynchronously and usually lands within a few hours to a few days, depending on the site. Call GET /api/v4/locations/{id}/listings/premium to check the per site status once an update clears, covering the directories and maps Listings API actually publishes to.
Do I need a Geocaching account to use Listings API?
No. You authenticate every call with one Listings API key and never create or log into a Geocaching account for this. Listings API is an independent service and is not affiliated with Geocaching, and it keeps citation details in sync, not anything on the game side of that site.
Which plan covers Geocaching, and what is not supported?
Geocaching sits within the Enterprise plan's citation network, though Listings API does not publish a listing to Geocaching on that plan or any other, since none exists there to publish to. Posts, review replies, and analytics are not available for Geocaching either, and across the network those are limited to Google, Facebook, and Bing.
