Overview
Weedmaps offers a suite of API solutions designed to help integration partners solve real business problems across the cannabis industry.
Each API focuses on a distinct functional area, but they are designed to work seamlessly together or operate independently—allowing you to tailor your integration to your exact needs.
This guide outlines the key products available through the Weedmaps API, highlighting core features, common use cases, and relevant links to deeper technical documentation.
One of the primary use cases for integrating with the Weedmaps Menu API is to keep a retailer’s Menu seamlessly in sync with their point-of-sale (POS) system. The Menu API not only supports real-time synchronization of Menu Item availability and pricing but also empowers integrators to significantly enhance the quality and discoverability of those Menu Items.
By tapping into the comprehensive and continuously evolving Weedmaps Taxonomy and Brand Catalog, integrators can enrich a Listing's Menu Items with structured data—such as Categories, Cannabinoids, Discovery Tags, Terpenes, and Strains—that consumers rely on to make informed decisions.
This enrichment isn’t just cosmetic; it directly improves search relevance, increases consumer engagement, and elevates the visibility of Menu Items within the Weedmaps ecosystem.
We encourage integrators to take full advantage of these resources to ensure accurate and meaningful external Product to Menu Item matches.
The closer your data aligns with Weedmaps' standardized Taxonomy and Brand Catalog, the more value you deliver to retailers and their customers—driving better conversions, trust, and long-term success.
