Waze
Waze is a community-driven navigation app, owned by Google, that gives drivers real-time traffic reports, road condition alerts, and turn-by-turn directions built from other drivers on the road.
Making sure a business appears the same everywhere Waze might draw location data from usually means fixing the same name, address, or hours across several directories and maps rather than editing Waze itself, since Waze has no business page to edit and Listings API has no integration that submits to Waze directly. A former Waze advertising domain now redirects back to the main Waze homepage, and nothing on the site shows a separate business signup Listings API could publish to. What Listings API does instead is keep a business's name, category, address, phone, website, and hours consistent across the directories, maps, and aggregators that are actually part of your plan.
A few API calls keep that record aligned across the network. Listings API lets you:
- Create a location and have it go out to every directory, map, and aggregator your plan covers.
- Update the name, category, address, phone, website, or hours for that whole set with one call.
- Track publish status and read back the live listing URL for each citation that does publish.
What Listings API controls for Waze
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 Waze draws local business information from. Listings API does not submit to Waze 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.

Waze + Listings API
Can Listings API publish a business listing directly on Waze?
No. Waze has no business page, and its old advertising domain now redirects to the main Waze homepage rather than a business signup flow, so there is nothing for Listings API to publish to there directly. What it does instead is keep a business's name, category, address, phone, and hours consistent across the directories, maps, and aggregators in your plan.
Does updating my citation record change what a driver sees near a business pin on Waze?
Listings API cannot confirm that mechanism, since Waze does not publish how its live map sources business details and Listings API has no direct integration with Waze. What it can do is keep the record accurate across the directories and maps it actually publishes to, which is the closest lever available.
How do I update a business's name, address, or hours across my citation network?
Send the changed fields to updateLocation. One call pushes the new name, address, phone, website, or hours to every citation your plan reaches, so the record stays correct without editing anything by hand, Waze included, even though Waze sits outside the direct publishing network.
How long does an update take, and how do I confirm it?
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 a Waze or Google account to use Listings API?
No. You authenticate every call with a single Listings API key, and no Waze or Google account is created as part of that. Listings API is an independent service and is not affiliated with Waze or its parent company, Google.
Are posts, review replies, or analytics available for Waze through Listings API?
No. Waze resolves a business from location data rather than a page with posts or comments, and Listings API has no direct integration with Waze regardless. Posts and review replies are supported on Google and Facebook only, and analytics come from Google, Bing, and Facebook, not Waze.
Which plan covers Waze in the citation network?
Waze sits within the Enterprise plan's citation network. Listings API does not submit a listing to Waze 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 extend to Waze.
