Retrieving "businesses" with Google Maps API?

Question

This is an example of a Business on Google Maps http://tiny.cc/5IMLd

It has elements attached such as:

• Reviews from various sites (qype, viewlondon, etc...)

• Details provided by various sites

• Photos and other content

I don't know how to go on about retrieving such Business and associate any items generated on my website.

What I have implemented up to date is a system using geocoding (geopy tiny.cc/eA6uL) which once given an address, it gives back Latitude and Longitude, but such system does not help me with this dilemma.

Help would be very appreciated.

Answer 1

What you want is this API: http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/local.html

Answer 2

By writing a relay server script you could do things like this, which obtains most of that information with a different layout. I don't know if it's legal to do that.
