Canada Yellow Pages Launches API - A Picture of a Modern Service
The Yellow Pages in Canada is different in a few ways than its American counterpart.
The Yellow Pages is copyrighted in Canada. In the United States it is not. Yellow Pages Canada owns the brand. No one else can use it. Stateside, it is the opposite. Anyone can use the Yellow Pages brand name.
In Canada, the Yellow Pages have extended beyond the yellow pages books. It owns one of the country's largest online shopping sites in AutoTrader. Its online listings give it reach into local markets that is unmatched.
All of this adds up to why Yellow Pages Canada recently announced an API that it developed with the help of Mashery.
