Pointslocal is pleased to announce that our new API is ready for prime time and we expect to launch our first partner sites with it in the coming weeks.
The API integration method for delivering geo- and topically tagged collections of content will allow for extremely tight integrations with new and existing publishing efforts on partner sites. Partners can now use any or all of our integration methods – javascript widgets, hosted pages or the AJAX API – to enhance their hyperlocal and aggregation strategies.
