Uber
Uber is a ride-hailing and delivery platform, and its Uber Eats marketplace lists restaurants and stores with a business name, menu, photos, and hours so customers can find them and order.
Setting up a restaurant correctly on Uber Eats means entering the business name, address, hours, menu, and photos by hand during onboarding, then repeating pieces of that update inside the merchant portal every time something changes. Listings API does not submit to Uber directly, since there is no integration into the Uber Eats merchant portal; instead it keeps a business's name, category, address, phone, website, and hours consistent across the directories, maps, and aggregators actually included in your plan.
A few API calls keep that record aligned across the rest of the network. Listings API lets you:
- Create a location and publish it to every directory, map, and aggregator on your plan in one call.
- Update the name, category, address, phone, website, or hours across that network at once instead of editing each citation by hand.
- Track publish status and read back each live listing URL to confirm the record is correct where it does publish.
What Listings API controls for Uber
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 Uber draws local business information from. Listings API does not submit to Uber 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.

Uber + Listings API
Can I publish a restaurant directly to Uber through the API?
No. Listings API has no integration that writes into the Uber Eats merchant portal, so it cannot create or submit a listing to Uber directly. What it does instead is keep the business's name, category, address, phone, website, and hours consistent across the directories, maps, and aggregators in your plan, the same record Uber Eats onboarding also asks for.
Do I still need to set up a restaurant in the Uber Eats merchant portal?
Yes. Menu items, pricing, delivery settings, and the Uber Eats listing itself are all set up and managed inside Uber's own merchant portal. Listings API does not touch that portal; it keeps the surrounding citation details, name, address, phone, and hours, aligned with what you entered there and with every other site in your plan.
How do I update a business's name, address, or phone number across my citation network?
Send the changed fields to updateLocation. One call updates that record across the directories, maps, and aggregators on your plan, so the details match what a restaurant listed on Uber Eats, or anywhere else, should already show, without editing each site by hand.
How long does an update take, and how do I confirm it went through?
Publishing to each citation in your plan 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 live listing URL for the directories and maps Listings API actually publishes to.
Do I need an Uber Eats merchant account to use Listings API?
You still need an Uber Eats merchant account for orders, menus, and delivery, since Listings API does not create or manage that account. You authenticate Listings API calls with a separate Listings API key, and Listings API is an independent service and is not affiliated with Uber.
Can I manage Uber Eats orders, menus, or delivery settings through the API?
No. Those stay inside the Uber Eats merchant portal. Listings API's scope is the underlying citation record, name, category, address, phone, website, and hours, kept consistent across your plan's directories, maps, and aggregators, not the operational side of a delivery marketplace.
Are posts, review replies, or analytics available for Uber through Listings API?
No. Posts and review replies work on Google and Facebook only, and analytics come from Google, Bing, and Facebook. Uber Eats customer feedback, ratings, and performance dashboards run entirely inside Uber's own systems and are outside what Listings API reads or writes.
Which plan covers keeping citation data consistent for Uber?
Uber sits within the Growth and Enterprise plans' citation network. Listings API does not publish a listing to Uber directly on either tier; a location created under Growth or Enterprise keeps its record aligned with the rest of that plan's directories, maps, and aggregators, and updateLocation carries changes forward the same way. Launch does not include Uber in that network.
