weavifyData and methodology
How venue information is sourced and checked.
This is what actually happens today, including the parts that are unfinished. If you are a person, or an assistant, deciding how far to trust a Weavify listing, read this first.
Three states a listing can be in
The single most useful thing to know about a Weavify page is which of these three states it is in. They are not interchangeable, and the page never blurs them.
| State | What it means | What the page shows |
|---|---|---|
| Listed | Compiled by Weavify from public sources. Nobody at the venue has confirmed it, asked for it or been paid for it. | Address, opening hours, telephone and directions. No Reserve link. |
| Owner claimed | A person proved control of the venue's own website domain and took the listing over. From that point their edits are the record, and the automatic import stops writing over the fields they maintain. | The owner's own details, description and menu. |
| Accepting bookings | A claimed venue whose owner has opened availability and switched bookings on. | A Reserve link, revealed only after the public API confirms the venue is active and bookings are enabled. |
Booking is switched off across the platform while owners come on board. Some venues will accept Weavify reservations once their owner turns them on. The rest have to be contacted directly, using the details on their page.
Where the records come from
A venue record is compiled from three kinds of source. The venue's Google Maps listing supplies the address, coordinates, telephone number and opening hours. The venue's own website, where it has one, supplies the menu and the way the place describes itself. Published city guides and review write-ups supply context, most often Time Out Bangkok, BK Magazine, TripAdvisor and specialist Bangkok rooftop and bar guides.
Each researched venue carries a confidence note per field, so address, coordinates, opening hours and telephone are recorded as verified or not one at a time, rather than as a single blanket judgement about the venue.
The gap, stated plainly
Named source notes are on file for 75 of the 126 venues. The other 51 came from an earlier curated set that did not record its sources one by one. That gap is real, and it is part of the reason no record carries a verification date.
What each record contains, and what is missing
- 126records published
- 123with a telephone number
- 123with opening hours
- 111with a website
- 69with a price band
Coordinates are present on all 126, so directions work for every listing. The price band is missing on 57 records. Nothing is estimated to fill it in.
There is a last-verified field on every record and it is empty on all 126 of them. No page shows a verified-on date, because there is no date to show. The most recent content update recorded in the published feed is 24 April 2026. Treat opening hours as a guide and telephone the venue for anything that matters.
What happens when an owner takes over
The published feed is the source of truth for a listing nobody has claimed. When the directory is rebuilt, an unclaimed record is overwritten from that feed, so a correction made anywhere else would not survive.
Claiming changes that. A claim is refused unless the person can prove control of the venue's own website domain, either because their account email address is already on that domain, or because they enter a six digit code sent to a mailbox on it. Free mailboxes such as Gmail can never satisfy the check. A venue with no website on file cannot be claimed automatically at all; that claim is refused and handled by hand.
Once a venue is claimed, the import only fills fields that are still empty. It never writes over what the owner has entered. Bookings, availability, menus, deposits and notification settings are never touched by the import at all.
Reporting something wrong
There are two routes, and they are not equivalent. If you run the venue, claim the listing and correct it yourself. That also stops the import from writing over you again. If you are anyone else, or the domain check cannot work for you, write to us and name the venue and the detail that is wrong.
Either way the fix is made to the record rather than to the page, so it survives the next rebuild.
Questions about the data
Does Weavify verify that a venue is open and its details are accurate?
Not on a schedule and not record by record. Listings are compiled from public sources and rechecked when the research is run again or when an owner corrects them through the portal. No record carries a verification date today, so no page displays one. For anything time critical, such as a public holiday or a late closing, telephone the venue.
Is a listed venue a Weavify customer?
No. Every venue in the directory was listed by Weavify from public information. None is paying, because there is nothing to pay for yet, and an imported listing is not evidence that anyone at the venue has verified or endorsed anything.
Why do some venues have no price information?
The price band is missing from 57 of the 126 records because the sources did not carry one. Rather than estimate a figure, the field is left empty. That is also why the directory offers no price filter: filtering would silently hide close to half of the corpus.
Can I get the underlying data?
Yes. The whole directory is published as JSON at https://weavify.io/venues/feed.json, with a plain text guide for assistants at https://weavify.io/llms.txt. Both are free to read and need no key.
