Places and Product APIs - Need suggestions to select APIs?

April 29th, 2015

We have a requirement to show the Places, Products with Images and Description in a mobile app. We are looking at Google Places and Semantics3 APIs; appreciate your suggestions. Or is there anyway I can maintain my own database?

You should really try Retailligence API. It is free. My experience with it is very good.

A number of databases allow for storage of GEOLocation data and queries.

There are a number of sources for point location data.

Geography is stored in the OSM / Open Street Map Dataset.

This dataset contains other data like theaters, airports etc.

There are also API's from a number of sources for place data from 4Square / FaceBook / Google etc.

If you have questions about how to implement please reach out.

Here is a site showing how we implemented it http://airportlookup.com/

Do a search for "great pyramid of giza" and see how you can have both Locations / Zipcodes / Placenames augmented with Local Datasets

Hello Saravanan,

We did something like what you're asking with our mobile platform, Terra Icons. Contact me, we can talk more about the details.

Cheers!
