I'm looking for an API that would provide me a JSON list of businesses or places around me after I pass lat/long coordinates to it. Google Places API seems to fit the bill, but they're in a semi-open beta release right now. Does anyone know anything else that would fit the bill?
A:
The Compass Business Data API - http://compass.webservius.com - has exactly what you need. Try it with &latFrom=...&latTo=...&lonFrom=...&lonTo=...&format=json parameters.
