Lyft
Lyft is a ride-hailing platform that also runs bikes and scooters in some cities, and Lyft Business gives companies a way to manage rides, ride credits, and travel budgets for their teams.
A business's location data has to line up across every mapping and app based service that might reference it, and keeping that consistent by hand means updating each network separately after every change. Lyft is one of those services, but Listings API does not submit to Lyft directly; there is no Lyft business page for this API to create or claim. Instead, it keeps a business's name, category, address, phone, website, and hours consistent across the directories, maps, and aggregators that are actually included in your plan.
A few API calls keep that record aligned across your plan's network. Listings API lets you:
- Create a location once and have it publish to every directory, map, and aggregator on your plan.
- Update the business name, category, address, phone, website, or hours across that whole set in a single call.
- Track publish status and pull back each live listing URL for the citations that do go live.
What Listings API controls for Lyft
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 Lyft draws local business information from. Listings API does not submit to Lyft 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.

Lyft + Listings API
Does Lyft have a business listing Listings API can publish to?
No. Lyft is a ride-hailing app, and Lyft Business is a separate corporate program for booking employee or client rides, neither of which has a claimable business page. Listings API does not submit anything to Lyft directly; it keeps the business's name, category, address, phone, and hours consistent across the directories, maps, and aggregators in your plan instead.
How do I add a business to my citation network so it stays consistent everywhere, Lyft included?
Call createLocation with the business name, category, address, phone, website, and hours. That single call publishes the record to every directory, map, and aggregator on your plan; Lyft is not one of the destinations it writes to directly, but the same record stays aligned with what your plan does publish.
How do I update a business's details across that network?
Send the changed fields to updateLocation. One call pushes the new name, address, phone, website, or hours to every citation your plan actually reaches, keeping the record correct without a separate submission anywhere, including places like Lyft that sit outside the direct publishing network.
How long does an update take, and how do I confirm it?
Updates to each citation in your plan run asynchronously and typically clear within a few hours to a few days. Call GET /api/v4/locations/{id}/listings/premium to check the per site publish status and live listing URL for the directories and maps Listings API actually publishes to.
Do I need a Lyft or Lyft Business account to use Listings API?
No. You authenticate every call with one Listings API key, and Listings API never creates or logs into a Lyft or Lyft Business account. Listings API is an independent service and is not affiliated with Lyft.
Are posts, review replies, or analytics available for Lyft through Listings API?
No. Lyft has no claimed business page or comment thread for Listings API to manage, and there is no direct integration with Lyft in the first place. Posts and review replies are supported on Google and Facebook only, and analytics come from Google, Bing, and Facebook, none of which extend to Lyft.
Which plan covers Lyft in the citation network?
Lyft sits within the Enterprise plan's citation network. Listings API does not publish a listing to Lyft directly on Enterprise or any tier; a location created under Enterprise keeps its record aligned with the rest of that plan's directories, maps, and aggregators. Launch and Growth do not include Lyft in that scope.
