Listings Admin | Hitchhikers Platform

Overview

Some publishers allow multiple people to own or manage their listings. This can be very helpful if you want both corporate and franchisees to work together to contribute accurate data to their listings. The Listing Admins APIs allow you to manage who has access to each listing.

Because the Listing Admin APIs are currently only available for Google My Business, we’ll focus on Google. Google allows listings to have multiple owners. Owners are defined by their Gmail accounts and have access to update content on listings on behalf of the business.

To view the current list of Gmail accounts that have access to your listing, use the Listing Admins: List endpoint. To invite a new Gmail account to have access to your listing, use the Listing Admins: Invite endpoint.

Use Cases

Invite users to become an admin or manager of your listings.
See who has access to your listing as well as their level of access.
