The Business Profile APIs are designed for developers who represent large, tech-savvy businesses and third parties. Developers who want to write applications to manage Business Profile data should sign up for the Business Profile APIs.
The Business Profile APIs let developers build applications that interact directly with their business location info on the Business Profile server. With these applications, chains and third parties can more efficiently manage their large or complex Business Profile accounts.
