N49
N49 is an online business directory where people look up local businesses by name, category, and location, and its listings act as citations that search engines cross check when ranking local results.
Keeping a business accurate on N49 usually means editing each location's data manually in the directory and redoing that work every time a name, address, or set of hours changes. Listings API automates that, letting users create, manage, and sync N49 listings through one unified API.
With just a few API calls, you can publish a business to N49 using details like business name, category, address, phone, website, and hours. Listings API lets you:
- Create a location and publish it to N49 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 N49 goes live.
What the API does on N49
Listing sync
Name, address, phone, hours, description, categories, website, and photos publish to N49 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 N49 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.

N49 + Listings API
How do I add a business to N49 with the API?
Call createLocation with the business name, category, address, phone, website, and hours. That single call publishes the location to N49 along with the other citations on your plan, so you never submit to the directory separately.
How long does publishing to N49 take, and how do I confirm it worked?
Publishing runs asynchronously and usually lands within a few hours to a few days, depending on the directory. To confirm, call GET /api/v4/locations/{id}/listings/premium. It returns the per site publish status and the live N49 listing URL once the update clears.
Do I need an N49 account or login to publish?
No. You authenticate every call with one Listings API key and never create an account on the directory. Listings API is an independent service and is not affiliated with N49.
How do I update a business's name, hours, or address on N49?
Send the new values with updateLocation. One call pushes the change to N49 and every other citation on your plan, which keeps the record consistent without editing the directory manually.
Can I publish posts or manage review replies on N49?
No. N49 supports listing sync only. Posts and review replies are available through Listings API on Google and Facebook, and analytics such as views and searches come from Google, Bing, and Facebook.
Which plan includes N49?
N49 is included on every plan, starting with Launch. Once a location is created, it publishes to N49 as part of the citation set your plan covers.
What does an N49 listing do for local search?
N49 is an online business directory that people search by name, category, and location. Its listings act as citations that search engines cross check when ranking local results, so an accurate N49 record backs up the same business information you publish elsewhere.
