Yext API Overview – Yext Help

Yext’s APIs give you programmatic control of your brand’s facts, the people who manage them, and the places they appear to consumers.

For all of the information that you need to get started, visit our Documentation Portal at https://hitchhikers.yext.com/docs/. This is our dedicated resource for those looking to integrate with the Yext APIs, and it contains our API documentation, guides, best practices, and other helpful information.

While all of the following information is detailed in our Developer Portal, below is an overview of the capabilities of our two API groupings -- the Management API, and Content Delivery API.

Management API

Add, update, or remove your brand facts across all your business applications. Some of the Knowledge API endpoints include:

Entities - Create, Delete, and Update Entity Content across different object types:
- Location, Event, Healthcare Professional, Healthcare Facility, ATM, Restaurant, Custom Entities, etc.
Listings - Monitor Entity Listings
Reviews - Monitor, Respond, and Generate Customer Reviews
Analytics - Build and Receive Performance Metrics
Account Settings - Manage Users

Note: Access to the Management API is available with your existing subscription.

Content Delivery API

Pull your brand facts from Yext Content to any user-facing applications, such as store locators, search experiences, or mobile apps, in real time. Some of the Content Delivery API endpoints include:

Entities - Publish any entity content
Bios - Publish your people bios
Products - Publish your products & services lists
Events - Publish your calendars of events
Search - Search entities across verticals within a Search experience

Note: Access to the Content Delivery API is available with the purchase of a tier of annual API calls.
