Lime
Lime is a shared micromobility company that rents electric scooters and electric bikes by the trip in more than 230 cities across nearly 30 countries.
Lime operates a scooter and electric bike sharing service rather than a business directory, and neither its site nor its about page describes a listing or point of interest feature a business could claim. Listings API submits business data to key data aggregators and primary directories instead, helping distribute accurate information across the broader local search ecosystem. What it maintains is a business's core citation details, name, category, address, phone, website, and hours, kept 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 out to every directory, map, and aggregator your plan covers.
- Update the business name, category, address, phone, website, or hours for that entire 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 Lime
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 Lime draws local business information from. Listings API submits business data to key data aggregators and primary directories, helping distribute accurate information across the broader local search ecosystem.
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.

Coverage for Lime is part of the Enterprise plan.
Lime + Listings API
Can Listings API publish a business listing to Lime?
No. Lime rents scooters and electric bikes and has no directory or point of interest feature a business can claim. Lime populates the business data it uses from Google Business Profile, so keeping your Google listing updated through Listings API keeps that data updated.
How do I keep a business's core 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 and map your plan reaches, including Google Business Profile, which Lime populates its data from.
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 as details change, including places like Lime that sit outside the direct publishing set.
Do I need a Lime account to use Listings API?
No. You authenticate every call with one Listings API key and never create or connect a Lime account for this. Listings API is an independent service and is not affiliated with Lime. It keeps a business's citation details consistent as part of the network, not a Lime listing specifically.
Which plan covers Lime, and what is not supported?
Lime sits within the Enterprise plan's citation network and populates its data from Google Business Profile. Posts, review replies, and analytics are not available for Lime. Across the whole network those are limited to Google, Facebook, and Bing.
How does a listing reach Lime?
Lime populates its data from Google Business Profile. Keep your data updated on Google Business Profile and your Lime listing stays updated. Read the per publisher status with GET /api/v4/locations/{locationId}/listings/premium.
Which countries does Lime support?
Lime accepts listings in 8 countries: Georgia, Guam, Italy, Latvia, Puerto Rico, Sweden, Switzerland, United States. Call GET /api/v4/plan-sites to read country coverage for every publisher on your plan as ISO codes.
