Yelp Business Reviews API
Scrape Yelp Business Reviews data with one API call. Returns a unified ReviewList of customer reviews for a Yelp business, keyed by the same 22-character encid used on /v1/yelp/business/info. Each page has 10 reviews with cursor pagination, ISO timestamps, owner replies, photo URLs, language, and HELPFUL vote counts. Page 2 does not overlap page 1. A business that does not exist returns 404 (auto-refunded). A business with no reviews returns an empty page and is not billed.

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| id | No | Yelp business encid, the 22-character opaque id (for example zj8Lq1T8KIC5zwFief15jg for Prince Street Pizza). Alias slugs such as prince-street-pizza-new-york-2 are not accepted on this surface: they come back as not found. |
| url | No | Yelp business URL. Only URLs whose /biz/ segment is the 22-character encid resolve. Alias URLs such as https://www.yelp.com/biz/prince-street-pizza-new-york-2 come back as not found. |
| cursor | No | Opaque cursor from the previous page's next_cursor. Omit on page 1. |
