iGlobal
iGlobal is an online business directory where people search for businesses by category and location, listing each business with the core details that keep its information consistent across the web.
Keeping a business current on a directory like iGlobal usually means editing each location's data manually and repeating that work whenever an address, phone number, or set of hours changes. Listings API automates that, letting users create, manage, and sync iGlobal listings through one unified API.
With just a few API calls, you can publish a business to iGlobal using details like business name, category, address, phone, website, and hours. Listings API lets you:
- Create a location and publish it to iGlobal along with every other citation on your plan.
- Update the business name, category, address, phone, website, or hours with a single call.
- Track publishing status and get the live iGlobal listing URL.
What the API does on iGlobal
Listing sync
Name, address, phone, hours, description, categories, website, and photos publish to iGlobal from one canonical record. The same write updates the rest of your plan's network.
Publish status you can query
Per site publish state and live listing links are readable back through the API, so you can verify the iGlobal listing from response instead of checking it manually.
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.

iGlobal + Listings API
How do I publish a business to iGlobal through the API?
Call createLocation with the business name, category, address, phone, website, and hours, and Listings API publishes it to iGlobal alongside the other citations your plan covers. To change anything later, send an updateLocation call with the new values and the revised data syncs on the next publish. There is no separate edit flow to manage for iGlobal specifically.
How long does it take for a listing to appear on iGlobal?
Publishing is asynchronous. iGlobal usually reflects a new listing or an edit within a few hours, though it can take up to a few days depending on the site's processing. The API call itself returns right away, and the listing updates in the background.
How do I check whether my iGlobal listing is live?
Call GET /api/v4/locations/{id}/listings/premium. The response gives the publish status for each site on your plan and the live iGlobal URL once the listing clears, so you confirm from the data instead of searching the directory yourself.
Do I need an iGlobal account or separate API credentials?
No. You do not create an iGlobal account or manage credentials for it. One Listings API key authenticates every call, and Listings API handles the submission for you. Listings API is an independent service and is not affiliated with iGlobal.
Can I schedule posts or reply to reviews on iGlobal?
Not on iGlobal. It supports listing sync only, so posting and review replies are available on Google and Facebook, and analytics on Google, Bing, and Facebook. On iGlobal, Listings API keeps the business record itself accurate and in sync.
Which plan includes iGlobal?
iGlobal is included on every plan, starting with Launch. The same createLocation call publishes to it along with the other citations your plan covers, so nothing extra is needed to reach it.
What are iGlobal listings good for?
iGlobal is a directory where people search for businesses by category and location, and its listings act as citations. Consistent name, address, and phone data across directories like this reinforces the same business details everywhere they appear, which is why syncing iGlobal matters even when visitors do not land there directly.
