Live Search SOAP API 1.0 Released

February 7th, 2007

The Live.com team has released the first version of the Live Search SOAP API today. A lot of new features have been added to this release since the beta version. Here are the most important improvements:

  • Search Results - increased from the first 250 to the first 1,000. And added a flag to disable host collapsing (the suppression of more than two results from a top-level URL) to facilitate the development of accurate paging algorithms.
  • Search Tags - enhanced to return results as a comma-delimited list or as an array of name/value pairs. Results can also be filtered by the Search Tag name.
  • Local Search - no longer do you need to specify lat & lon for location, you can now city names and zip codes, just like in the web UI. We’ve also added local data support for the following markets: en-AU, en-CA, en-GB, en-US, es-US, fr-CA, fr-FR, and it-IT.
  • PhoneBook Results -  now sort by distance and relevance

A more detailed overview can be found at the Microsoft Developer Network.
