Yelp keeps changing its markup. Your parser shouldn't care.
- Sponsored results mixed into organic
- Ratings and review counts nested
- Categories and tags shifting shape
- Proxy rotation and retries per search
- Re-parse listings after each redesign
One GET Request. That's the whole integration.
Start with just a query. Add more parameters when your use case needs them.

Each result carries the same keys, rating, reviews, categories, and a stable place ID you can pass to the place endpoint. Map the fields once and forget about it.

We rely on HasData for search performance data and broader scraping needs. Their APIs deliver highly structured data that integrates directly into our platforms.
Great web scraping API which is incredibly easy to use. It requires minimal effort to get up and running, and the documentation is very clear and helpful.
I needed to scrape some information they didn't already support, and they wrote the code for me right away, which was super nice of them.
We were particularly impressed with how easily we could integrate HasData into our existing workflow.

Questions, answered
There's a free trial, 200 business searches with every field included and no credit card. After that it's paid by usage, from 5 credits per search. Yelp's own Fusion API is separate and rate-limited. This one just returns the search page as JSON.
Both. The search endpoint takes a keyword and location and returns matching businesses. The place endpoint takes a Yelp ID or alias and returns one business in full. The search results hand you the IDs you feed the place endpoint.
Per successful request, whether it's a search page or a single business. A failed request costs nothing.
One business search costs 5 credits. The unit price drops with volume, from about $1.23 down to $0.37 per 1,000 searches. Need more than the top plan covers? We'll set a custom rate.
JSON. Each business is a flat object with rating, reviews, categories, address, and a stable place ID, so it drops straight into a database or a lead list.
No. Requests run on HasData's infrastructure, so there's nothing to provision or maintain. You're responsible for using the results in line with each target site's terms and applicable law.
