Pointsearch™ API
The Pointcast Pointsearch API can add an intuitive, gesture-based way for your mobile users to instantly connect with nearby places and people. It’s like having a magic wand for everything you do, everywhere you go.
Our patented technology leverages existing sensors found in virtually every smartphone (GPS, compass, and accelerometer) to combine geolocation with gesture to allow a user to simply point their mobile phone at a location or even another mobile device to return instant information or even enable interactions and transactions. It offers app developers the ability to integrate highly precise, location-based search functionality into their mobile platforms.
Our solution does not require any special hardware, chips, card readers, QR codes. It can be implemented quickly and easily and layers on top of your existing UI via an API simply by adding a few lines of code. It can replace or complement the existing user experience. Here’s how we stand out:
- Gesture-Based Interface: Allows your users to interact with the app using simple gestures to explore their surroundings, refine searches, and navigate results with ease.
- Pointsearch Technology: Our advanced geolocation algorithms ensure users find exactly what they’re looking for, right when they need it. You can tailor the information returned with a better understanding of the intent of users searching for things nearby.
- Support for Dynamic POIs: Our API also supports creating and searching for POIs that may change locations, such as a food truck, an event or even another user’s phone.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Whether you’re targeting iOS, Android, or mobile web users, our solutions are fully optimized to provide a consistent, high-performance experience across all platforms.
Empower your users with the ability to explore their immediate surroundings like never before. Our location-based hyper-local search solutions bring the world closer, making every search personal, relevant, and engaging. Let us help you create a mobile experience that’s as dynamic as the users who rely on it.
