Walk Score

Mobile Neighborhood Map Sample Code

Integrating with Mobile Websites

To integrate the Mobile Neighborhood Map into your mobile website:

  1. Link directly to http://www.walkscore.com/score/<URL encoded address>
    • Or use /score/loc/lat=<val>/lng=<val> for lat/lng specification
  2. Use the nav=back parameter to provide navigation back to your site.
  3. Set the wsid parameter to your Walk Score ID (WSID).
  4. [Optional] To start on the list view rather than the map, include a tab=list parameter.

For example:

http://www.walkscore.com/score/1018-Lombard-Street-San-Franciso-CA/nav=back/wsid=<your-wsid>

Our /score/ URLs automatically serve a rich mobile experience to modern devices (iPhone and Android > 2.1) and a simple HTML experience to older devices. You may link directly to the rich mobile experience with /m/ or to the simple HTML experience with /s/. For example:

Integrating with iPhone and Android Apps

The Mobile Neighborhood Map can be embedded into iPhone apps with the UIWebView control and Android apps using the WebView control.

For example (iPhone):

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[[[@"http://www.walkscore.com/m/score/" stringByAppendingString:yourAddress] stringByAppendingString:@"/nav=none/wsid="] stringByAppendingString:yourWSID]]; NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]; [yourWebViewObj loadRequest:requestObj];
