Interactive map API - For the internet platform, API allows an interactive (zoomable, draggable) map of all India to be easily (one or two lines of code) embedded in an internet portal or web application. Customized overlays such as markers, information bubbles, and polylines can be placed on top of the map, and responses to specific user input events (keyboard, mouse etc.) can also be set to make this a completely programmable interactive map.
Map image/tile API - Specific map tile/image centered around a particular coordinate and at a particular zoom level can be generated dynamically (on the fly) using this API.
Map search (geocoding) API - Get coordinates of an address (state, city/town/village, street, locality, sub-locality, landmark etc). For e.g. Marine Drive, Mumbai, OR Block S, Greater Kailash 2, New Delhi, OR Siwan, Bihar. The MapmyIndia geocoding algorithm is tuned to India's complex/unorganized address system is intelligently provides relevant best and alternate matches
Directions search (routing) API - Get optimal route information (coordinates of route, step-by-step textual instructions, total distance, estimated drive time etc.) between any two addresses or coordinates. MapmyIndia routing algorithm are localized to Indian consumer expectations by providing landmarks along the route which are more useful and relevant in the Indian context.
Local search (points of interest / POIs) API - Get coordinates and information (name, phone number, address, other attributes) of points of interest in 52 tourist and business categories (such as ATMs, Restaurants, Hospitals etc.). POIs can be searched near an address, or within a bounded area.
Reverse geocoding API - Given coordinates, get the address information of a location (state, city/town/village, locality, street etc.). Typically used for textual/SMS-based reporting current location of asset (vehicle, child etc.).
