This service matches places across multiple place providers (Google Places, Yelp, Foursquare), letting you request a place ID from one place provider (say Google Places) and get back the likely matching logical place from a separate service (say Yelp).

If you are providing a product/service which benefits from correlating place information across multiple place providers, this service makes it easy for you to match IDs across the providers. In general this is a non-trivial endeavour, requiring fuzzy matching across place data.

NOTE: We currently support matching places from Google Places to Yelp. Foursquare support is planned on the roadmap, as is two-way matching amidst all providers (ie: Yelp → Google Places, Foursquare → Yelp etc.)
