Type vs Category

[Ujjwal Sarin]

Hey.

Is your api also the data source for the web portal? Are the two datastores in sync? Is the Type field on the portal similar to the Categories field in the api?

Via the site:

http://fwix.com/biritemarket-sanfrancisco-ca
Type: Restaurants, Delis

Via the api:
{
  "places":[
     {
        "phone_number":"(415) 241-9760",
        "city":"San Francisco",
        "province":"CA",
        "uuid":"efca3b5-26fd-061f-e051-ec98176d17172",
        "locality":"Mission Dolores",
        "foursquare_id":"39652",
        "open_table_id":null,
        "link":"http://geoapi.fwix.com/places/efca3b5-26fd-061f-e051-ec98176d17172",
        "grub_hub_id":null,
        "factual_id":"b77d6056-79c1-474d-9f77-9f8280e9bfb1",
        "address":"3639 18th St",
        "lat":37.761516571044922,
        "postal_code":"94110",
        "lng":-122.4246520996094,
        "country":"USA",
        "categories":[
           {
              "category_id":7,
              "name":"Legal & Financial"
           },
           {
              "category_id":165,
              "name":"Lawyers & Legal Services"
           }
        ],
        "name":"Bi-Rite Market"
     }
  ]
}

Thanks,

Ujj -

The places data that is being shown on the our fwix.com site is not necessarily the same that we are making available

on our API.  For fwix.com we are able to use multiple sources, including licensed data, to include in our

own site. Unfortunately our licensed information cannot be shared directly through our API.  The data for our API is provided by our partner Factual (factual.com) and represents the data set as they have aggregated it. For content, the data

should be mostly the same, as that is Fwix tech, with the caveat that location based matching is based on different

datasets.
