Yelp Search API
Scrape Yelp Search data with one API call. Searches Yelp businesses by term and location. Returns a unified PlaceList: name, rating, review count, price level, address, coordinates, categories, and photos when the provider returns rows. Sort by recommended, rating, or review_count. ads=true includes sponsored results. Page with cursor from next_cursor. If the provider reports a non-zero total with no rows, the call fails and is refunded. Search cards may carry an alias URL; only the 22-character encid resolves on GET /v1/yelp/business/info.
