Localtunity
Localtunity is an online business directory where people search for local businesses, and its listings carry the name, address, phone, and other citation details that search engines cross check for consistency.
Keeping a Localtunity listing accurate usually means editing each location's data manually and rechecking it whenever a phone number, address, or set of hours changes, work that piles up fast across many locations. Listings API automates that, letting users create, manage, and sync Localtunity listings through one unified API.
With just a few API calls, you can publish a business to Localtunity using details like business name, category, address, phone, website, and hours. Listings API lets you:
- Create a location and publish it to Localtunity along with every other citation on your plan.
- Update business name, category, address, phone, website, or hours with a single call.
- Track publishing status and get the live listing URL once the update clears.
What the API does on Localtunity
Listing sync
Name, address, phone, hours, description, categories, website, and photos publish to Localtunity 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 Localtunity 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.

Localtunity + Listings API
How do I publish a business to Localtunity through the API?
Call createLocation with the business details such as name, category, address, phone, website, and hours. Listings API publishes that location to Localtunity along with the other citations on your plan. When something changes, send the new values with updateLocation and the listing updates in place.
How do I update a listing's hours or phone number?
Send updateLocation with the fields you want to change, whether that is name, category, address, phone, website, or hours. You do not touch the Localtunity entry directly; the API pushes the change out for you.
How long does it take for a listing to go live on Localtunity?
Publishing is asynchronous. A submission usually clears within a few hours, though it can take up to a few days depending on how the site processes updates. You confirm by reading the status rather than watching the directory.
How do I check whether my listing is live?
Call GET /api/v4/locations/{id}/listings/premium. It returns the per site publish status and the live Localtunity URL once the listing is up, so you verify from the response instead of checking manually.
Do I need a Localtunity account or login to publish?
No. You authenticate every call with a single Listings API key and never register or manage a Localtunity account. Listings API is independent and not affiliated with Localtunity.
Can I publish posts or reply to reviews on Localtunity?
No. Localtunity supports listing sync only. Posts and review replies are available on Google and Facebook, and analytics such as views and searches come from Google, Bing, and Facebook.
Which plan includes Localtunity?
Localtunity is included on every plan, starting with Launch. That means you can publish and sync listings there from your first location without picking a higher tier.
