BooRah, the leading restaurant-specific online review guide, today announced the launch of its free, location-enabled Web Services API for Web sites and businesses looking to offer online restaurant reviews and ratings to their visitors.

BooRah’s Web Services API delivers the same core semantic technology that powers BooRah.com and BooRah’s award winning Yahoo! SearchMonkey application, along with applications suitable for portals, local newspaper publishers and location-enabled phones.  “BooRah’s API offers comprehensive restaurant search capability along with unique “Boo” and “Rah” ratings unavailable from any other website,” said Eric Moyer, CEO and Co-Founder of BooRah.

“Consumers are looking for an easier way to explore the content, conversations and communities that revolve around their favorite topics,” said Anand Rajaraman, co-founder of Kosmix, a guide to the Web which uses BooRah’s API for restaurant search. “BooRah’s restaurant search is a great way for the Kosmix community to find popular local restaurants and discover new ones.”

With the launch of Geode by Mozilla for location tracking on laptop browsers, BooRah’s API enables ever more powerful search capabilities and offers support for development of invaluable location-enabled tools for browser and desktop applications.

Here are the Key Features of BooRah’s Web Services API:

 * Restaurant Search – Search for top rated restaurants across the US by City, Zip, Neighborhood,
Point of Interest, Address, Street/Cross-Street, and Geo-Coordinates
