Lime
Lime is a shared micromobility company that rents electric scooters and e-bikes by the trip in more than 230 cities across nearly 30 countries.
Lime operates a scooter and e-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 has no integration that submits a listing to Lime, since none exists to submit to. What it maintains instead 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 does not submit to Lime 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.

Lime + Listings API
Can Listings API publish a business listing to Lime?
No. Lime rents scooters and e-bikes. It has no directory or point of interest feature a business can claim, so there is no Lime listing 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 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, map, and aggregator your plan reaches; Lime is not a direct destination for that publish, but the same underlying record stays aligned with what does go out.
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.
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 the update clears, covering the directories and maps Listings API actually publishes to.
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, though Listings API does not publish a listing to Lime directly on that plan or any other. Posts, review replies, and analytics are not available anywhere near Lime either; across the whole network those are limited to Google, Facebook, and Bing.
