MyLocalEdge
MyLocalEdge is a local business directory that lists businesses across US cities and states by category, showing an address, phone number, hours, and description on each listing page.
MyLocalEdge groups businesses under categories like bakeries and florists inside individual cities, and each of those groupings only gets checked for an outdated address or set of hours when someone opens it by hand. Listings API takes over that check, publishing and syncing a MyLocalEdge listing through one API call.
A few API calls are enough to get a business onto MyLocalEdge, using details like name, category, address, phone, website, and hours. Listings API lets you:
- Create a location and publish it to MyLocalEdge alongside every other citation on your plan.
- Update the business name, category, address, phone, website, or hours in a single call.
- Track publishing status and read the live listing URL once MyLocalEdge goes live.
What the API does on MyLocalEdge
Listing sync
Name, address, phone, hours, description, categories, website, and photos publish to MyLocalEdge 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 MyLocalEdge 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.

MyLocalEdge + Listings API
How do I add a business to MyLocalEdge with the API?
Call createLocation with the business name, category, street address, city, state, postal code, country, and phone number. That call publishes the location to MyLocalEdge along with the other citations on your plan, so there is no separate submission to the directory and no listing to fill in by hand.
How do I update a listing's address or hours on MyLocalEdge afterward?
Send the location ID plus the changed fields to updateLocation, whether that's a new street address, a phone number, or updated hours. One call pushes the update to MyLocalEdge and every other citation on your plan, keeping the record consistent without logging into the directory to edit it by hand.
How long does publishing to MyLocalEdge take, and how do I confirm it went live?
Publishing runs asynchronously and typically clears within a few hours to a few days. Call GET /api/v4/locations/{id}/listings/premium to check the per site publish status and read back the live MyLocalEdge listing URL once it publishes, rather than checking the directory manually.
Do I need a MyLocalEdge account to publish a listing?
No. Every call authenticates with one Listings API key, and no account, login, or verification step on MyLocalEdge is created or required for the directory itself, so there is nothing to register there before or after a location publishes. Listings API is an independent service and is not affiliated with MyLocalEdge.
Can I post updates or reply to reviews on MyLocalEdge?
No. MyLocalEdge supports listing sync only, not posts or review management, and that holds for every plan tier. Posting and review replies through Listings API are limited to the Google and Facebook profiles, and analytics reads such as views and searches come only from Google, Bing, and Facebook.
Which plan includes MyLocalEdge, and what does a listing there show?
MyLocalEdge is included on every plan, starting with Launch. Listings on the directory are organized by category across US cities and states, and each one shows a business's address, phone number, opening hours, and a short description, based on what the homepage displays.
