Best Buy BBYOpen Stores API

BBYOpen is Best Buy�s effort to open their sets of data. The data made available includes items being sold, company knowledge and services offered in an effort to encourage developers to build relevant apps. BBYOpen offers new sources of data, access to BETA APIs, promotion of apps built using BBYOpen APIs, tools to help get started, and incentive models to reward developer work.

The Stores API provides location information and allows product availability queries for all Best Buy stores. With the API users can query information such as store addresses, geo-location, store hours and phone numbers. The API uses RESTful calls and responses are formatted in JSON.
