Yahoo has separate map for India ( which has more details than the regular maps.yahoo.com) at http://in.maps.yahoo.com/ . But when I use the API it goes to default map. How do I get API access to YMaps India?
I don't know about yahoo, but there is another mapping website that provides an API for India.

i have an online ordering website. The users can enter their address in the site.
The address needs to be geocoded and the nearest stores are to be displayed to the user. Basically i need to get the lat and lng of the address entered by user.
Can i use bing maps javascript api for this purpose?
Does this have any licensing issue? I am thinking of a geocoding api which is free.
Any help would be appreciated.
Yes, you can use Bing Maps for this. Since this is a public facing website, this would be licensed using a transactional licensing option. Bing Maps does offer free usage of the service for these types of apps as well. I recommend generating a Bing Maps key to use with the service through Azure: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/partners/bingmaps/mapapis/ This will allow you to move to a paid license if needed very easily and in much smaller increments and prices than what you will normally come across.
I am using a skobbler map web API with leafletjs, and I want to implement the search feature (like Google maps Geocoding API), given a name of the city or address of a place it should return approximate or exact geocode (lat, lng). is there such an API exist with skobbler or I have to use 3rd party api and feed data to skobbler?
I am trying to implement some feature of maps.skobbler.com but not all of them just a text search is what I am looking for.
Currently skobbler/Telenav does not offer an online geocoding service on the standard plan.
On mobile you can access this functionality once you download the map data as an on-board package but on mobile you will need to integrate (delegate to) another geocoding service.
I just wanted to know if I can use the REST API with an Italian account. I couldn't find any information about.
Thanks.
You can use REST api with an italian account, the link posted by KevinG does not state that you cannot.
I used it last year to implement Expresscheckout and it was working. Be sure to check if you need to be PCI or PCI-DSS compliant.
For more information you care read this faq https://developer.paypal.com/docs/faq/#non-US-dev
You can use REST API from Italy and you have a full access to all features in your sandbox account. In live account you have some limitations (no Direct credit cards processing!).
more info here (login in your developer account first): https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accountStatus
Currently the REST API is not available in Italy. This link will take you the the most current information regarding the REST API and supported countries:

I read the Bing documentation but can't find a way to query Bing for local listing information such as name, address, phone, website, claimed or not, number of reviews and some snippets, and images associated with the listing if any, etc. Is there any RESTFul search API for this purpose? Could you point me to the correct API?
Thank you a lot.
You will be able to find this kind of information in Bing Maps for Enterprise platform.
Here some links that might be helpful:
Bing Maps REST Spatial Data Service (Public Data sources):
NAVTEQEU: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh478193.aspx
NAVTEQNA: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh478192.aspx
Bing Maps REST Location API, if you're looking for geocoding and places:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff701711.aspx
Bing Maps SOAP Search service (consider not using it, I recommend to use REST instead of this one)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc980849.aspx
Bing Search 2.0 also includes location information, see on Azure Data Markeplace:

You should be able to find what is appropriate to your needs and also keep in mind the licensing associated to those platform and services.
I am working on a commercial application on iPhone that is using google map. I have Google map api premier client id and cryptographic key to use google map for some limited services like "directions".I generated the signature key using this code:
http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-samples/source/browse/trunk/urlsigning/urlsigner.m?spec=svn2498&r=2498
But still the WS claims "too many connections".
Is there any problem for using Google Maps API Premier in iPhone?
Please Help.
Also, you can learn more on the quota on Maps API web services for Business users, here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/faq#usage_limits
Most likely not related to the use of the API from iPhones.
I would suggest that you open a case with Maps API for Business Support Team (new name for Maps API Premier). You can do it under:
http://support.google.com/enterprisehelp/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=142858&rd=1
If you don't yet have access you can also submit a request using a form:
http://support.google.com/enterprisehelp/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=142246#request
Putting the error messages aside , it seems alarming that you want to use server side geocoding from an iPhone. The problem with this is that you won't be able to scale as your user base grows since your limits are set.
Instead you should try reading on client side geocoding.
There is a really good article that explains how to make this decision:
https://developers.google.com/maps/articles/geocodestrat
"too many connections" does not sound like an error message you might be getting from Google Servers, but rather something to do with the platform. If you contact support they will be able to check that for you.
I hope that helps!
