Abstract
In one implementation, a method is provided that comprises receiving a plurality of potential listings associated with an entity from a provider system. Each listing comprises a confidence score assigned by the provider system. A representative listing of the entity located on the provider system is designated from amongst the plurality of potential listings based on the confidence score. A first request is transmitted to synchronize the representative listing with the entity on the provider system. Responsive to receiving an indication that the request to synchronize is complete, a second request to suppress remaining listings of the potential listings as duplicates is provided. The remaining listings having confidence scores lower than the confidence score associated with the representative listing. The second request to suppress the remaining listings as duplicate listings is provided to the provider system using an API and a confirmation that the remaining listings are suppressed.
