I scraped public store locators to build this. Currently, there are not many brands but I am adding more continuously.<\/p>\n<p>There are similar datasets like <a href=\"https:\/\/alltheplaces.xyz\/\">AllThePlaces<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openstreetmap.org\/\">OpenStreetMap<\/a>, but I\u2019ve found them to be incomplete and messy to work with. For example, AllThePlaces has around 34k Starbucks features, while there are<a href=\"https:\/\/bizlocationdb.com\/locations\/starbucks\"> actually 40k+<\/a>. Location identifiers are also not standardized. Sometimes, city, zip might be missing, the same coordinate could have multiple cities pointing to it, etc.<\/p>\n<p>With BizLocationDB I wanted to focus more on accuracy, rather than just adding features blindly. <\/p>\n<p>There are two tiers, free allows you to have the same data with lesser accuracy and lesser fields, and premium allows you to have the full data. I think that way I can keep it sustainable, and still have reasonable usefulness with the free version.<\/p>\n<p>Feedback is appreciated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Quick-Side4624\"> \/u\/Quick-Side4624 <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1voydt9\/free_paid_i_am_building_a_location_dataset_for\/\">[link]<\/a><\/span>   <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1voydt9\/free_paid_i_am_building_a_location_dataset_for\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><\/p><div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-right'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-41992 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='41992' data-nonce='9de69db8d5' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-41992 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-41992 status align-right'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey everyone, BizLocationDB is my attempt at building a high-quality POI dataset for popular chains and brands&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[85],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-datatards","wpcat-85-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41992"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41992\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
